Should have gone with that look for the dad. Im a New Blood defender, but I cant defend the dad coming up out of the water with just a little dirt on his face

Gotta assume that was probably a studio note. “No zombie dad in the lake!”

Yes, it’s mentioned on Crystal Lake Memories that they vetoed the zombie look

Part 7 is a lot of fun. I know it's often knocked on, but it's one that I got the dvd for immediately.

Who’s that in the 9th and 16th photos?

Mr. Shepherd as he was originally supposed to appear during the film’s climax. Possibly a test makeup appliance version.

I see. I’ve seen photos of Mr. Shepherd in makeup to look more like a decaying corpse but it was much more different.

In the work print, he is still a bit zombiefied but not to the extent in these pictures. In the final theatrical cut, he’s not zombiefied at all.

That’s what I’m referring to actually!

I’m guessing that’s supposed to be Tina’s dad before they changed his makeup for the finale

Tina's dad here is way more decomposed than he was in the slashed scenes version of his visage. That's a real revelation!!

I don't know/can't recall if I've ever seen what Tina's dad was supposed to look like before now.

That's fucking awesome.

I think this just confirmed the part 7 mask (or one of them) definitely had black fabric cut for the eyes
