10 Insanely Disturbing Creatures Of Guillermo Del Toro - Explained Maestro Of Nightmarish Creatures

Guillermo del Toro is the master and legend whose veins are probably filled with ideas of monster design. His work is known for the visually rich but horrifying creatures and monsters who are usually a creation of mythology and religion and bear minimal humanoid traits. However, his designs are brilliantly original and are the result of his photographic memory, past experiences like dreams and nightmares, or simply a visit to an old church. He sketches these images and motifs in a little notebook that has witnessed the birth of almost all his monsters. Del Toro has established a legacy through films like Pan’s Labyrinth that won three Oscars, and The Shape of Water that bagged him two Oscars for Best Picture and Best Direction in 2017. The uniqueness in his cinematic portrayals is derived from a variety of techniques. What makes them stand apart from other monsters is the fact that he relies heavily on special and practical effects. He uses these so efficiently that one look at the monsters tells you their story of evolution and transformation. Be it The Last Elemental from Hellboy anthology or the titular Pan the Faun from Pan’s Labyrinth, he says his creatures are a source of eye protein and don’t settle for being eye candy. When Ofelia interacts with Pan the Faun, then she is actually interacting with a faun instead of just interacting with Doug Jones, the actor who played the creature. The impact that practical effects create on other actors during the shoot is more potent than the impact that simple props would create. In this video, we will take you on a journey into this great director’s mind and the rationale behind his monsters.
