We've been so hard at work, plotting and planning for Monday's Super Birthday Show that we didn't have time to do a new Q and Erik. But all is not lost! It's an episode full of the best questions that we've received from you. If you missed it the first time around, FEAR NOT! Now's your chance to catch up!
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.
It's summertime and blockbuster films are everywhere! In anticipation of the new Dark Knight movie, Erik is showing you how to recreate some serious chemical burns on your face! Just like Harvey Dent aka Two Face!

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.
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!
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!

This week Erik shows you how to recreate the effect of someone crawling out of a TV. Just like in that scary movie The Ring. And by the way, if you're reading this and you don't click the play button we'll send that creepy dead girl from the movie after YOU!
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.

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!
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!
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.
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).
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.
