Mogulween continues by bringing you the mythical Big Foot! In this episode Erik teams up with Rob and Corinne of Threadbanger to show you how to build an entire Sasquatch costume that is way more realistic then this hoax! And we didn't even have to hold a press conference.

We want to thank all of you guys, the viewers, for watching, commenting, subscribing, submitting, requesting, and just plain old being awesome! So, we're going to end this season with a highly requested build as we lay the decaying corpse of BFX: Season One to rest. But don't worry, BFX will be returning shortly!
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.
This week we unveil a brand new type of BFX episode called "BFX On Location"! We've been invite by directors Giancarlo Fiorentini and Jonathan Grimm to create an extreme nose bleed effect for their film "The Old Man and the Seymour". This movie stars Streeter Seidell, Amir Blumenfeld and a VERY bloody nose. Check out all the action as Erik's skills get a real world test!
It's Mogulween baby! So, we are bringing you another classic Halloween special effect. Last year we taught you how to make a Swamp Monster and this year we are teaching you the secrets of the Fish Man! Watch this video and then make great scary movie or just an awesome Halloween costume!

After reports of a super natural disturbance in a local pool, two law enforces must call upon the one man who can solve the mystery. The trouble is...he's a little odd! Muahahahahahahaha... hmmmmmm.
Shooting hand held is great, but sometimes you need the smooth motion of a camera dolly. We've made a dolly in the past, but this week we are making one with a track! Plus an original Steve Nelson Test Film!
The last song in the test film is by Mike Bruno, check out his music here:

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.
