Hard to believe it, but Syfy’s newest venture into reality TV, Face Off, is finally coming to an end. We’ve seen some drama, some annoying characters come and go, and some awesome makeup challenges, but this week it all comes down to one last competition, and one final winner.
In this last competition, the final three contestants are taking it back to fairy tales as they reimagine some classic stories. From Syfy:
In this second sneak peek clip of the Season Finale of Face Off, the final four contestants recreate their favorite fairy tales in their last attempt to prove their talent. A werewolf, witch, and other creatures are being finalized. There seems to be a positive overall tone among the contestants as they head down the final stretch, but it wouldn’t be the finals without something going awry. Conor’s final creation appears to have a malfunction and his opportunity at being crowned the winner of Face Off may be over.
Check out the clip after the jump, and enjoy the Face Off season finale on Wednesday at 10pm, 9pm Central.

Say what you will about reality TV, but SyFy has managed to find the happy medium between the world of trashy television and the geek culture with their newest competition show, Face Off.
The show takes a group of up and coming effects makeup artists trying to make it in the business and pits them against one another in difficult, and ultimately cool-looking makeup tasks. Here’s the rundown for this week’s show.
In the next all-new episode of Face Off, Gage and Sam decide to take a major risk with the task of creating old-age makeup pieces. They both re-assure each other that based on the last challenge, you can’t play it safe. They’re both trying to come up with two full-face renderings in just two days which other contestants practically claim the feat as an impossibility.
We’ve got a brand new clip from this week’s show, in which the ancient art of “boob crafting” is practiced, and some of the contestants worry about going too far with their art. Check it out after the jump, and be sure to catch Face Off this Wednesday at 10/9pm Central on Syfy.

This week, we’ve been bringing you lots of goodies from the release of Zombieland on DVD and Blu-Ray. Since the DVD comes out today, we thought we’d put up two fun featurettes from the release, after giving you two deleted scenes yesterday.
In the first featurette, we go behind the scenes to see how they made their zombies look so realistic in the film. Actress Amber Heard (Pineapple Express) gets to sit in the make-up chair for hours before shooting in order to get her “zombification” just right. Also, we take a look at how some of the extras got to look so undead.
In the second featurette, stars Abigail Brezlin (Little Miss Sunshine) and Emma Stone (The Rocker) get to see one of the first zombies getting made up for the film. Abigail then decides to go on a mission to convince the filmmakers to let her be a zombie, just once.
Check out the features after the jump, and be sure to pick up Zombieland on DVD and Blu-Ray today.
