Robert Hall has become one of the most popular special effects makeup artists in Hollywood. Hall and his studio, Almost Human, bring an exciting new dimension to the world of creatures, body parts, scarred victims, zombies, monsters, demons and more.

Hall's creatures are celebrated worldwide on the mega successful hit shows Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly. His work will also be showcased in the upcoming theatrical film projects, Strange Wilderness, Big Stan, and Killer Pad.

Recently, Hall has marked his writing and directorial feature film debut with the semi-autobiographical drama, Lightning Bug starring Bret Harrison (The Loop) Laura Prepon (That 70's Show), and Hal Sparks (Queer As Folk). The film was a festival hit in 2005 garnering 3 top awards at various festivals and breaking attendance records at the Philadelphia Film Festival. The DVD is available at most video stores and retail chains courtesy of Anchor Bay Entertainment.

Originally Born In Detroit, Hall began his career as a youngster in Alabama, buying makeup and materials at the local Wal-Mart for his friend's Halloween costumes. While his friends were out playing sports, Hall was busy figuring out the best way to make a scary mask more lifelike, getting tips from horror shows such as Creature Feature. At the age of 18 and fed up with his paying job as a chicken deboner for Tyson Chicken, he traveled more than 300 miles to Selma, Alabama, where he impressed Tom Burman and talked him into hiring Hall to work as an assistant makeup effects artist on Abel Ferrara's Body Snatchers.

Hall remembers thinking, "Wow, I get paid to do this?" So with that enthusiasm and love for the craft, he continued to take risks in pursuit of his passion. With less than $100 dollars in his pocket, Hall packed his bags and moved to Hollywood.

He worked non-stop for other special effects makeup studios where he mastered his craft and developed his own unique style. During this time he also worked for Stan Winston on such big budget films as The Ghost and the Darkness, The Island of Dr. Moreau and The Relic.

In 1996, Hall decided it was time to step out on his own and set up his own studio. With the company's name pulled from the title of a KISS song, Almost Human special effects makeup studio was born. Since its inception Almost Human has become one of the best in creating the industry’s most talked about corpses, body parts, monsters, zombies and demons, as well as alarming and realistic character makeup's.

In the early stages of the company, Hall worked with extremely small budgets on 22 films for Roger Corman's Concorde Productions including Aliens Among Us, SeaWolf and The Doorway. During this time he learned how to do amazing work within a few days without a big studio budget, something that he considers a major benefit for the television and movie producers he works with today.

One of Hall's personal highlights was getting the opportunity to work with Robert Englund, who portrayed one of his favorite horror icons Freddy Krueger, on Englund’s new directorial Effort, Killer Pad.

Hall resides in Los Angeles with his wife actress/model Bobbi Sue Luther. When not working he spends his time writing and recording music, playing bass in the band Zero 1 with Hal Sparks, and he directs music videos for rock bands such as Buckcherry, Manntis and Kevn Kinney (Drivin N Cryin).
