The Creature Shop opens in Jozi

This is the place that nightmares are made of: when you walk into this particular shop be ready to be faced with body parts, severed heads, corpses and alien body...among other things!

This is realism to the max - the team behind the magic include Jaco Snyman, one of the men at the helm of the company, and his team of engineers, painters and sculptors, who supply monsters and such for feature films, documentaries, TV and Ads! Remember District 9? That was their work.

The Creature Shop garners clients by word-of-mouth but the competition is not exactly fierce. Not only is the shop super-specialised, the work takes "a certain kind of person," Snyman said.
