Fear is his passion, and along with Tom Woodruff, Jr. and an incredible team of artists at Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc., Alec Gillis has brought nightmares to life through practical effects for countless films, including the new IT movie. Daily Dead Managing Editor Heather Wixson recently shared highlights from the IT effects panel that Gillis took part in (see above photo), and now you can learn more about the effects guru and his company in a new video from 60 Second Docs and CryptTV.

Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
