Cryptid Mask Maker Corey Seymour: Bigfoot Masks and Beyond

Recently, I came across an interesting video from the YouTube channel Bigfoot Society, where they interviewed Corey Seymour from Seymour's Captive Cryptids. Corey is a talented artist known for his masks and plushies of various cryptids. In the video, Corey shared his journey into the world of cryptids and how he became an artist. As a child, he was always fascinated by aliens, UFOs, monsters, ghosts, and Bigfoot. His love for the unknown and the paranormal led him to become a special effects artist. However, he decided to stay in Ohio and learned the art of mask-making from his colleagues at Unit 70 Studios and Scare Factory. Corey's passion for cryptids led him to start making Cryptid masks. He shared that when designing a mask, he prefers to use eyewitness accounts and descriptions as his reference point instead of other artist's work. This allows him to create original designs that are not influenced by other artists. One of the masks that Corey is known for is the Bigfoot mask. When creating the mask, he used various eyewitness accounts and descriptions to come up with the final design. The result is a realistic and detailed Bigfoot mask that is sure to impress any cryptid enthusiast. In addition to masks, Corey also creates plushies of various cryptids. His Mothman plushie, in particular, is adorable and has a little squishy butt, which makes it even more appealing to kids. Corey also shared that he is currently working on a full-sized Bigfoot costume for Small Town Monsters. The costume will be used for b-roll in their movies, and it will be exciting to see the final product. Overall, the video is an interesting watch for anyone interested in cryptids and the art of mask-making. Corey's passion for cryptids and his talent as an artist are evident in his work, and it's fascinating to hear his journey into the world of cryptids.
