I recently rewatched Army of Darkness for the first time in forever and I was so charmed by all the practical effects. The eyeball in the shoulder still gets me lol. Practical effects aside, the whole movie was a lot of campy silly fun. It’s just a gem of a movie.

What’s your favorite movie that uses lots of practical effects?

Do you have a favorite practical effect of all time?

Any movies like Army of Darkness you’d recommend?

    John Carpenter’s The Thing is the peak. It does not go higher.

    The Terrifier films are unbeatable for practical gore.

    David Cronenberg’s The Fly is also a must-watch if you like practical creatures.
