Here There Be Monsters is an exclusive webseries set at the Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program at Douglas Education Center (DEC). The four-part story follows a student who comes to believe his new neighbor is a vampire after a series of strange murders. 

Shy make-up effects student, Matt Davis, seeks the affection of fellow classmate and gothic beauty, Wren, while strange murders plague the town, leading people to believe a vampire is on the loose.  He unwillingly gets involved when a mysterious old man moves in across the street and proceeds to behave in decidedly strange fashion.  Set amidst the very real  – and unusual – world of the Tom Savini Make-Up Effects Program in Monessen, PA, HERE THERE BE MONSTERS begs the question: What would happen if someone who dedicated their life to bringing monsters to life encountered the real thing?
