Special Effects Artist’s Work Is Freaking Out People On Instagram

WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES! Last night as I lay in bed, unable to sleep, I decided to spend some time on Instagram. Being the horror fiend that I am I started searching through images. I came across what has to be the grotesquely awesome account on all of Instagram, the account belonging to Marc Clancy who goes under the username Powdah. If you have a weak stomach I urge to exist this article immediately. Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, nothing on the account is real. Clancy is a very talented self-taught special effects artist. Just looking at his amazing, detailed work it wouldn’t be hard to mistake the images as photos of real accident victims. If you are into blood and guts and gore and special effects you should give him a follow. Clancy also has a killer YouTube channel where you can find his step-by-step tutorials.
