Choose Your Injury
Feeding Frenzy
One wrong turn, one hungry horde & boom, dinner is served. This bite is the ultimate souvenir from a zombie encounter gone sideways. Torn flesh, oozing edges & deep jaw marks, it’s the perfect prosthetic for a full-on zombie attack scene!
Savage Swipe
The campsite was quiet….too quiet. Next came the growl behind the tent & the sprint that never stood a chance. You thought you got away, you didn’t. One leap, one roar, one savage swipe & now it’s written across your flesh. With lacerations and shredded skin this prosthetic doesn’t play nice, it tells the story of a survivor… barely.
Ripped Raw
It doesn’t just look painful… it feels like one hell of a story. Whether it was rage, recklessness, or something much darker, Ripped Raw captures the brutal moment where flesh tears & chaos follows. With skin-shredding detail, torn layers & that freshly sliced finish, this prosthetic isn’t clean or controlled, it’s raw, gritty & unforgettable.
Final Breath
One secret too many? Capture the moment it all went quiet with spine-tingling style. Final Breath adds theatre to your throat with a classic, eerie slice made for haunted tales, murder mysteries & anyone ready to make a killer impression.
Sizzle Stamp
From industrial accident to post-apocalyptic fallout or maybe just one spell too many. This isn’t just a burn, it’s a signature. Whether it’s chemical exposure, magical misfire or pure fire fury, Sizzle stamp delivers bold detail, scorched skin & deep-set tissue trauma with zero forgiveness.
