Halloween has arrived on the second episode of Nerdist’s newest show, “Origin Story,” entitled “Chicken Breast Chucky,” where filmmaker Andrew Bowser heads to Son of Monsterpalooza to crowdsource, create, and cosplay the greatest ghoul yet!
Artist Ruben Martinez (“RM73”) and returning cosplayer Jessica LG brought Chicken Breast Chucky to life in merely three days with some incredible prosthetics by Makeup Designory and The Stan Winston School of Character Arts.
Donning his cloak of seafood and wielding his blue chainsaw, it seems no one is safe once you hear Chicken Breast Chucky’s evil cry: “Viva La Bologna!”
“Origin Story” is an inventive docu-series hosted by Nerdist’s Andrew Bowser. Within one weekend at a pop culture convention, Bowser crowdsources, creates, and cosplays a brand new superhero. Each episode chronicles the creation of the “origin story” by way of a Mad Lib with the help of con attendees, followed by a rendering of the new hero by a guest artist, and then finally created into a costume by a gifted cosplayer. On the final day Bowser cosplays as the brand new character and films an impromptu comedy sketch with fans and fellow cosplayers.
“Origin Story” airs Fridays on Nerdist.
