The Land Of A Thousand Faces
Encyclopedia
The Land Of A Thousand Faces was a live stage show created for Universal Studios Tour in 1975 by Verne Langdon
with Jay Stein
and Terry Winnick
The twenty minute show was performed eight times per day in front of 1500 tour visitors per show, and featured a host and two makeup artists. They would first present an elaborate audio-visual history of movie
makeup magic, then transform two chosen tour visitors into Frankenstein's Monster
and The Bride of Frankenstein in just fifteen minutes. The last five minutes of the show was a dramatic "creation" presentation featuring the two tourists-turned-monsters. The very successful show ran five years.
It inspired the Universal's Horror Make-Up Show
