Tom Sullivan

Tom Sullivan’s career as a special effects artist and filmmaker has spanned over three decades and includes the classic The Evil Dead. Having met Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and Robert Tapert at Michigan State University where his wife studied, Sullivan was hired to create the FX for Raimi’s first foray into horror, a thirty-minute short entitled Within the Woods. When the story was adapted into a feature film, Sullivan was once again brought onboard to help design the ghouls and The Evil Dead was born. The movie’s success allowed him to forge a professional career in the industry and soon Sullivan found himself working on such hits as Evil Dead II and The Fly II. Over recent years he has gained acclaim through his website Dark Age Productions, creating replicas of his movie work.
