It takes a Workshop to raise a monster! 👹🕷️

Every creature lurking around Unleashed started as a sketch, a lump of clay and a team of artists who don’t scare easily.

Come meet them if you dare 🩸

We gave Adam Savage a gruesome monster wound🩸

Using a lifecast of Adam, our artists got to work recreating the aftermath of a monster attack, using the same practical effects techniques that bring Hollywood's goriest moments to life.

Turns out, it takes a lot of talent to make someone look this good at looking this bad! 👹

Swipe to see what our artists did to Adam 👉l

"Very creative, very different, such a fun experience and absolutely worth visiting.

The sets, creatures and special effects were amazing, with so much detail everywhere.

Our guide was wonderful too — friendly, funny and made the whole tour even more entertaining. 😂

I’d especially recommend it for anyone who loves movies, fantasy, special effects or a little bit of horror."
