NORMAN CABRERA MONSTERS INC

​Norman Cabrera’s passion for movie makeup and making monsters started at an early age fueled by his love of classic creature features.  At the age of 20 he began working with legendary Oscar winning makeup artist Rick Baker on such films as Harry and The Hendersons, Coming to America, Gremlins 2 and Gorillas in the Mist.

​

For four decades he's lent his makeup and creature design talents to some of Hollywood’s biggest FX blockbusters including Guillermo Del Toro's, Hellboy 1&2, AMC's The Walking Dead, Robert Rodriguez' From Dusk till Dawn, Jason Reitman's Ghostbusters 2020, James Wan's Malignant and more. 

​

In addition to makeup and monsters for films, Cabrera makes specialty props, stage design, and creature costumes for live performances and music videos for artists such as Rob Zombie, Danzig, The Misfits and Skinny Puppy and has directed highly stylized music videos for Municipal Waste, Bat and others. 

 

In 2025, Universal Studios opened its Epic Universe park in Florida featuring some of Cabrera's creature creations.
