The 70s Grue Crew take a second look at Equinox (1970) / The Equinox… A Journey into the Supernatural (1967). This time they are escorted by Jeffrey S. Farley, an effects artist who has built a resume that includes over 240 makeup and special effects credits. Farley was inspired by Equinox and its effects artists — David Allen, Dennis Muren, and Jim Danforth — and has studied the film in depth. He even recreated models of some of the film’s stop-motion creatures and the supernatural ring introduced in the 1970 theatrical release.
Join Farley and the Grue-Crew as they take a deep dive into all aspects of this legendary film, birthed at the beginning of three legendary effects artists’ careers.
At the time of this writing, Equinox (1970) is available to stream from Max and The Criterion Channel. The film is available as physical media as a 2-disc DVD from Criterion.
