"The Beast Within" (1982) was an old-fashioned monster movie made in the heyday of practical makeup effects.
More than anything, the trailers sold this climactic transformation sequence.
Paul Clemens' performance as the monster emerges is first-rate.
It begins with applied makeup and prosthetics.
The first fake head with protruding tongue looks pretty fake, but is quite a shock.
Air bladders were just getting big in SPFX makeup at the time.
This scene really pushes the technique past the limit.
One makeup artist admitted that by the final stage...
...they were just seeing how big they could inflate that fake head.
