Horror Artist Spotlight: Melissa Patterson Gives Birth to Nightmares. MUST SEE!Few times in my life have I ever come across something that genuinely startled me. The work of horror artist Melissa Patterson has done just that. Read on for a look at her creations that are so frighteningly real they have to be seen to be believed.

“I make them by buying a blank vinyl kit and painting it with GHSP, in water thin layers, and baking the doll parts in the oven between layers to set the paint,” Patterson tells us of the creation process.

“I use different brushes and tools to make detailed efx like capillaries, veins, skin mottling, etc. I use glass eyes in them. Sometimes I paint the hair, and sometimes I micro root each individual strand. I also give them real lashes if it’s age appropriate. It’s a list of processes, really, but the look on people’s face when I tell them I put babies in the oven is priceless!”

Patterson continues, “They always seem to take on a ‘life’ of their own. Each one I make is one of a kind, guaranteed. I usually charge $350.00 for a custom baby. I know that’s a lot, but these guys aren’t cheaply made in any way, and it takes 2 to 3 weeks to make each one. I don’t do it for the money; I do it because it makes somebody happy and I like seeing what I can come up with next.”

If you really want to freak someone out, she add, “I can also make ones that breathe and have a heartbeat!

Check out Melissa’s vampire baby, Vittoria, below. We’ve also included a quick look at her zombie clown (sorry, coulrophobics) prototype. For a closer look at Patterson’s tamer, yet incredibly realistic work, you can visit her Pitter Patterson Nursery Facebook page and follow her on Twitter @joyoffourgirls.

Mind blown.
