When it comes to Halloween, Rick Baker knows just what to do. The acclaimed special effects artist is known for his horrifying make-up transformations, and there is no better time to show off his skills than during Halloween. This year, Baker decided to take his holiday antics up a notch and created a fan-film inspired by his family's gruesome costumes. And, if that weren't scary enough, then you should the artist and his family donned Twilight Zone-inspired costumes.

So, if you are averse to heart-pounding terror or gore, now is the time for you to look away.

Earlier today, Baker uploaded his family's fan-film to Youtube. The artist's video begins with Twilight Zone's famously eerie music and voice over. But, soon, fans are introduced to Baker and his warped face. The film tells the story of a family whose features are disfigured. So, when they discover one of their brethren looks too human for their tastes, they decide a bit of forced plastic surgery is needed.

The artist has been shared behind-the-scenes photos from his fan-film on Twitter throughout the day. Unsurprisingly, fans are reacting well to the images even if they are a bit horrified.

"Happy Halloween," Baker wrote earlier this morning. "This is how my daughter Veronica Baker when to work today." The caption was posted with a photo of Baker's daughter dressed as a nurse. However, her lopsided face and piggy nose make her docile expression look hideously revolting.

When Baker posted a photo of himself in the same make-up, the artist told his fans that, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

However, the most gruesome image from the video came not long ago. Baker teased his followers with an image of what his daughter Rebecca looks like now. And, man, it's a stomach-churning, NSFW photo for sure.

The picture shows what kind of surgery Rebecca's character had to endure in the fan-film that her father made. Fans can see that there are hooked chains gouged into her face so that her nose and mouth will look properly piggish. Countless sutures and graphic incision lines are also visible from the surely brutal surgery Rebecca's character had to suffer through.

While you might not know of Baker by name, you may find his work familiar after looking at these photos. The artist has worked on dozens of films and been nominated for an Academy Award 11 times for his talents. Baker's most notable special effects make-up can be seen in projects like An American Werewolf in London, Harry and the Hendersons, Star Wars, Men In Black, and Hellboy.
