The Horror Makeup Show is the longest running show at Universal Orlando Resort. It's a must do for any horror fan or those who love an entertaining, funny show.

An opening day attraction at Universal Studios Florida, the show takes a look at some of the practical makeup effects used in some of the most famous horror movies.

Hosted by Alex Ross and "expert" Mark/Marty James, it's an hilarious yet also informative look at the classic techniques in monster making. There's plenty of audience participation so be warned. There's also a bit of blood; though not so much that most members of your party shouldn't be too scared.

The hosts really make the show. There's usually a lot of ad-libbing and they keep it topical. Even if you've seen the show before it's always worth going back and seeing it again.

Many a park-goer has stumbled across The Horror Makeup Show in search of air-conditioning only to find a true gem of an attraction.
