Exclusive first showing of the Frankenstein's Monster Charity Project at HorrorConuk

The exclusive first showing of the Frankenstein's monster heads, created for the Monster Charity Project in aid of the Make a Wish Foundation, will be at HorrorConuk 2017, 13th & 14th May!



Frankenstein's Monster as you've never seen him before, completely customised in unique designs, by some of the UK's top artists from the prop-making and movie special FX make-up industries.

28 of the UK's top prop-making, sculpting and SPFX make-up artists have been brought together to take part in a unique charity project. Each artist has been given a bespoke Frankenstein-inspired monster bust, created, and supplied by SVFX University of Bolton Special & Visual Effects team, with the simple instruction: Customise him into any design you like.

Once customised, the artists then donate the finished bust back to the Monster Charity Project organisers who will auction them off via an online auction site. 100% of the proceeds raised from the auction will be donated to Make-A-Wish UK. All the artists and the back room project crew donate their time and skills totally free of charge.

Last year the same project team raised a staggering £28,000 for Make-A-Wish at Star Wars Celebration London with a similar project featuring an iconic Star Wars Helmet. 30 artists took part creating such custom designs as Deadpool, Judge Dredd , Batman and a Studio Ghibli inspired design. 

We are extremely excited that the busts will be unveiled at HorrorConUK, where you will be able to see them displayed in all their customized glory, they will then go to auction on October 31st 2017, ending November 5th 2017.

HorrorCon UK 2017 takes place at the Magna Centre, Sheffield, 13-14 May 2017.
