(Aka It Came From Savini's Attic)
Tom Savini TF/MC
NOTE:
This is a transformation i've always wanted to do and it is of my character into makeup legend Tom Savini, it uses elements from the Goosebumps movie in particular the characters being alive element. It is also based on a true story, well the being followed by Tom Savini on Twitter part anyway.
-----------------------------
Nathan was what you might call a horror buff, he loved everything and anything to do with monsters, horror movies and the supernatural. Of course he was a huge fan of practical fx and makeup, he was an amateur costume designer and makeup artist as well as monsterologist and creature creator. To him there was no comparison, old school practical fx were superior to CGI when it came to monster effects and transformation scenes. He idolized people like Stan Winston and Rick Baker, those two people were his biggest influences next to Tom Savini. Speaking of which, one night while checking his emails he got quite the surprise.
Following a famous person on Twitter is one awesome thing in itself but having said famous person follow you back - that is equally as awesome. And he discovered that after discovering it was in fact the real Tom Savini himself who was following him on there, he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the message he got from the make-up legend - and he was immediately won over by the man's charming personality.
He had heard all sorts of stories of supposed encounters with him by people who claimed to have met him, most if not all the stories spoke of him being mean-spirited or stand-offish, but he knew never to believe such stories. As he knew that Savini was the coolest of cool no matter what. That night as he was about to reply to his message, he was taken a-back by shrouds of black smoke that emerged from the screen of his computer, he coughed several times as he tried to put out the smoke - a few seconds later, he collapsed and a few seconds later than that he awoke in what appeared to be in a place he hadn't seen before, it looked ominous and mysterious but also stylish.
From what he could see, it looked like some kind of mad scientist's lab like the ones you'd expect to see in classic monster movies - there were various sculptures of famous movie monsters, and various horror props all over the place. Just as he was about to investigate, he heard a series of growling sounds coming from nearby, he jolted back in shock - but not before without warning he was tackled by a creature that was very familar to him. The creature was a feral ape-like creature with shaggy fur, piercing yellowish red eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth.
"Woah...easy now, please don't eat me..."
"Rrrr...."
"Fluffy! Down boy!"
"Fluffy?"
"Yep...that's his name..."
"Isn't that the creature from Creepshow?"
"Yeah..and he's my pet..."
He turned around before facing the person who was speaking to him - it was none other than makeup legend Tom Savini himself, Savini was dressed like his "Sex Machine" character in From Dusk Till Dawn and he held the whip in his hand. Using the whip, he lassoed Fluffy over before taming him. He petted Fluffy on the head before going over to Nathan.
"Hello there, i'm Tom Savini..."
"Oh my gosh! It's really you. I can't believe it. You're one of my heroes, man. I'm Nathan Forester, horror buff, scientist and all around monster maniac. It is a honor to meet you, but I bet you've had people tell you this sort of thing all the time."
"Well yeah..but you're different..."
"How so?"
"Well...I know for one thing that you're one of the only people who doesn't believe those stories about me. And I also know you are a master at monster making yourself, i've seen your work you know. Furthermore, I know you and I have a lot in common regarding our interests."
"Like what?"
"Well we both love horror movies and monsters in general. And we both are skilled at creating things like monsters. As you can tell, a LOT of the ones you see here next to the other monsters are the ones I created myself. Unfortunately they're alive and have this habit of trying to harm my fans."
"Is that why Fluffy tried to attack me?"
"Nah, Fluffy is always like that. I have to keep telling him to behave when around guests but he never listens. That's the problem with him, when it's not about preventing him from escaping from his crate - it's trying to get him to behave."
"What about the other creations of yours...do they behave?"
"The zombies do...but i'm not so sure about Jason."
"Oh I know all too well what Jason's like."
"But don't worry though, most if not all of my creations are friendly. Besides, they know it's not okay for them to attack other people. Especially not guests and fans of mine. Of course some have a much harder time than others."
Several Dawn Of The Dead zombies stood behind the two of them as they talked, the zombies didn't go after our hero or tried to eat him - since they knew that they should behave themselves in the presence of company. And besides, Tom himself was their boss and they always listened to him. Jason just sat there silently, not making a single sound or even a single movement.
Nathan managed to get back up on his feet as he recovered from the attack, he sighed with relief as he saw that there were no wounds gained from it, carefully he made his way over to where Tom was, he shook hands with the horror legend before adjusting his outfit and polishing his glasses. Tom decided to take him on a tour of his attic as he called it, and taught him all about how his creations came to be, also explaining the supernatural elements in general.
"I must say I am impressed. Especially with your supernatural prowess, you're extraordinarily brilliant in that field. I can see that you and I indeed do have a lot in common, you were right.."
"I've heard you've got some supernatural talents of your own..."
"Oh...you have?"
"Oh yes, I certainly have..."
"I hear you're some kind of supernatural creature...'
"Yeah I am a shapeshifter. An interesting one at that, my transformations happen at night or when it gets dark out and they can be pretty unpredictable sometimes. But it's an amazing power to have..."
"Hmmm...I have something that I think you'll like.."
"And what would that be?"
"How would you like to...become me?"
"I like that...sure, i'd love to."
Nathan concentrated all his energy and closed his eyes, supernatural energy flowed through his body, increasing his stamina in a number of ways as he slowly but surely started to alter in appearance - his arms swelled as they developed musculature on them, his hands growing slightly larger to march as his chest and torso followed suit, developing muscle to go with his arms.
His clothing slowly morphed and reshaped itself into the same outfit that Tom himself was wearing as his legs also altering to match his arms as tattoos of sorts materialized on his shoulders, mostly of skulls. His back expanding as he flexed his muscles, in addition to this he stayed at his normal height at 5'7 but now weighed 191lbs of muscle as his neckline shifted and his shoulders broadened.
He felt his hair as it slowly grew longer and messier, turning from dark brown to jet black as his eyebrows thickened, furthermore altering as they turned black to match his hair color as his features slowly altered and reshaped themselves, as visible facial hair formed around his face, his eyes widened and narrowed as they turned a darker shade of brown. Bit by it his facial features slowly morphed and reshaped themselves, until within a matter of seconds he resembled the makeup legend himself. His voice deepened in several ways, altering and furthermore shifting in tone and pitch until it completely matched his appearance, giving him Savini's voice as well.
His memories and thoughts shifted, his memories were altering to new ones reflecting who he was turning into, they were memories of being a master special effects makeup artist, occasional actor and director by the name of Tom Savini and for bringing such creations as the zombies in Dawn Of The Dead to life, he couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome, as he knew this was the right choice. A few seconds later and his transformation was completed, he was now Tom Savini.
"How does it feel to be me?"
"Terrific..."
"Great...now how do you feel about helping me in the attic?"
"I'd love to..."
"Follow me.."
And so with that, the second Tom Savini followed the real Tom Savini around and the two of them started getting to work on numerous projects, furthermore adding to the already impressive gallery of creatures and characters that were present. Each of the creatures and characters came to life and followed the orders of the two Savinis, doing their bidding and also helping keep out nosy and unwanted pests. Of course, as a bonus he got to have From Dusk Till Dawn styled vampire powers as well - and to him, having vampire powers was a plus. Actually having supernatural powers of his own had always been a dream of his own, and he always wanted to see what it would be like to have them.
As for what happened to Nathan, he decided to stay as Tom Savini - in fact to him it just seemed more natural to be who he was, he went out to many horror conventions in this form and got a lot of attention, he couldn't have asked for anything more. After all, when you're a legend like he is, you can be as awesome as you like.
Remember my friends, sometimes hero worship really does pay off. And on some occasions, you might wind up not only meeting your hero but you might become like them yourself if you're lucky. Play your cards right and one of these days it might just happen to you as well. After all...we all have wanted to be in the shoes of the people we've admired for quite some time ourselves, it's only natural.
