Monster Tales is a behind-the-scenes interview series from Distortions Unlimited, and this episode features Ed Edmunds and Oscar-winning artist Bob Short discussing the iconic Don Post Bloody Werewolf mask that Short sculpted in the 1970s. The conversation reveals how that single mask played a pivotal role in Ed Edmunds' creative journey — after losing a costume contest while wearing it to someone wearing one of his own masks, he was inspired to keep creating, ultimately founding Distortions Unlimited. Bob Short's broader career credits include major Hollywood productions such as Beetlejuice, E.T., and Star Trek, lending significant historical weight to the discussion. The episode offers a rare, personal look at how classic latex Halloween mask artistry shaped one of the industry's most recognizable haunted prop companies.
Ed Edmunds, co-owner of Distortions Unlimited, introduces 'Remember the Future,' a book authored by Lee Lambert chronicling the full history of his company — from a one-man mask-making operation in a small apartment to a powerhouse in the haunted attraction industry. The first volume focuses specifically on Distortions' early latex mask era. Lambert, who previously documented Don Post Studios, was given unprecedented behind-the-scenes access by Edmunds and co-owner Marsha Taub-Edmunds. This short promotional video serves as a personal endorsement from the subject of the book himself.
