Book of Monsters Wins Award for Best Practical FX at PDXtreme Portland Underground Film Festival 2018
“This year's Best Practical FX in a Feature goes toBook of Monsters from director Stewart Sparke! There's a whole range of decapitations, head squishings, torso rippings, body splittings, finger severings, and even larvae birthing evil lawn gnomes. And the creature design/costumes are impressively elaborate. Although, now, every time I see that bony deer thing on the Masked Singer commercial I think of Book of Monsters.”
