I found this book in the library although it was published in 80's it is still quite useful. Its a directory of Hollywood make-up artist working with prosthetics. Not all of them are horror related and explains some of the techniques used to create different affects. It is not a step by step guide and it is all very advanced; full faces and bodies but its still worth looking through.
Too funny! My mother Sue Roy wrote this book between the time I was two through four years old. Al Taylor was not the writer but his concept for the book and connections to Hollywood and NY film made the whole thing possible. I'm 38 now but still love to flip through the pages of "moms book" now and then. I just now Googled it and found this post. Small world.

I am trying to locate Al Taylor for a possible interview. I have search a number of sites and found where he might have died in 1999, however the information so vague it is impossible to determine if that was the AL Taylor I am looking for. I would appreciate any information that might help me locating Mr. Taylor.
