One of our many kills from @himmovie featured in the latest issue of @fangoria for 2025’s BEST DEATHS IN HORROR!

The neck prosthetic pictured here was applied by @annacalimakeup & @martinasykesmakeup, designed by @janthonykosar & created by @kosartstudios. This was for a closeup shot of the actor right before his head falls off of the body.

The body was expertly created to erupt in a fountain of blood before collapsing on cue to the ground by J. Anthony Kosar & the Kosart Team which included @ryan.guenther.9 @shane_shisheboran @ethan_kamp & @hallucinationscreations.

Also pictured is @tyriqwithers in his final bloody look with prosthetics applied by @janthonykosar, @annacalimakeup & @martinasykesmakeup.

Always an honor to be included in FANGORIA!

Check out #HimMovie to see this kill & many others streaming now on @peacock.
