Erik tells us how to get that broken glass effect without a trip to the hospital (BUT you've still got to be careful!). All you need is cooking spray, corn syrup, sugar, a pot, a pan, cream of tartar, and a thermometer.
Do you need an awesome costume for Comicon, or do you just need a giant prop revolver? Either way you can't miss with this episode. Erik shows you how to make your very own "Good Samaritan" revolver from Hellboy!

In continuing with the Mogulween theme of October, this week's episode is a gory "Limb Tear" effect. With a special guest appearance by Make Magazine's Bre Pettis, this week's BFX will be anything BUT tearibble...that joke was terrible, I'm sorry.
Last week, we interviewed DIY Stop Motion Animator, Javan Ivey, and he showed us his home built studio. Now he's showing us how to utilize this workspace with some great software and helpful hints for doing Stop Motion Animation.

Make sure and watch this episode as we tackle another heavily requested effect...making someone look blown in half! Jam packed with cheap special effects, frisbee fun and a Test Film guest directed by Maniacal Rage!
The blood will fly! There comes a time in every filmmaker's life when he needs to lop off a head. You'll need the effects from our Limb Tear, Fake Heads, and Blood Shooter episodes to do this one. And check out Rambo, in theaters Jan 25!
If you've seen Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom you'll know one of the greatest special effects of the film is where Mola Ram rips the heart out of someone's chest. In this episode of Backyard FX, Erik recreates that effect with the help of his family members. Don't forget to check out our previous episode on how to create a fake heart.
How to make a giant sandwich out of cardboard, foam, and spray paint. Host Erik Beck shows you how to fulfill that craving for a giant, angry sandwich.

Do you love the "Evil Dead" series? Do you need a prop chainsaw? Do you have $30 burning a hole in your pocket? If you said "yes" to any of these question you'll want to watch this episode. Erik shows you how to make a bloody prop chainsaw arm!
No one disputes we've got the best and most talented viewers in the world, but now they're taking over! Keir MacDonald shows us his own (even cheaper!) technique for that blood-splattering gunshot wound using fake blood, a condom, and not much more.
Welcome to part one of our two part Indiana Jones Special. This week we've been challenged by Eric Zala the director of "Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation" to create an awesome face melt effect for cheap! This is probably Indy Mogul's grossest effect yet so you better leave a comment and tell your friends!

Weekend Extra peers into the brilliant mind of Javan Ivey, an inspired animator, and someone who uses his keen intellect to save thousands of dollars that folks blow on an animation studio.
Erik builds his own version of the BFG9000 Giant Laser Weapon from Doom, using an old CD Tower. And he does it all for under $20 (though it should be cheaper because you should throw away all your CDs anyway and use the CD tower that once held them).
In this episode of BFX, Erik takes Zombie effects to the next level. If an exposed skull and yummy non-toxic guts are what you dream about, then you're a sick person. However you should still watch this episode in all it's "gory". Also seek mental treatment.
