Illusions or tricks of the eye enhance movies in ways that appear almost magical. No wonder special effects are so important in filmmaking! That’s why we’ve invited Dragon Dronet and Chuck Skull to be our guests on Movie Addict Headquarters during our December 10th episode. Dragon and Chuck will talk about the fascination and challenges of special effects work as well as which films they would pick as the Top Five Special Effects Movies of All Time.    

Both Chuck and Dragon boast impressive movie credentials. Their film credits include exciting motion pictures like The Planet of the Apes, The Scorpion King, Total Recall, Night Train, Conan the Barbarian, Chronicles of Riddick, Eraser – and many more.

When he was only 10 years old, Dragon won a year-long scholarship to the Renaissance School of Art in Oakland, California. He is now an expert in props, costumes, weapons, miniatures, stunts, martial arts and swords. Among his accomplishments are doing the props for Total Recall and choreographing the gorilla fight scenes in Tim Burton’s The Planet of the Apes.  

Chuck is known for his work in Night Train, Under Lock and Key and Death Riders. He also hosts several shows on BlogTalkRadio including:

Skull’s World of Mayhem

Wacko World with Kat Vecchionne and Chuck Skull

Chuck’s Golden Age of Radio
