Engineering,electrics,hydraulics & a mastery of mechanics,when at its best you don't even a suspension of disbelief! CGI is simply a much cheaper and easier way to replace the dying artistry of the genius that is Tom Savini & his kind!

CGI is of course not bad compared with this stuff - OF CORSE it is generally better and give a more authentic look. People here complain, only because they are afraid people going to forgot this old masterpieces - they see it as a silly competition, which it not is.
Without Meliés in the beginning of 1900, King Kong 1930 and Savini during 1970-80, we should never have the modern high tech FXs. Hat off for a genius like Savini.
I don't get this attitude people have that it's either one or the other. Practical FX are great and they work best for some genres - particularly for bloody horror films - but when done right CGI is a great tool as well. It really all comes down to how it's used, because when done poorly practical FX can look just as awful as bad CGI. And CGI has given us a lot of great stuff as well - it's ok to appreciate both, as they both require a lot of skill.
no amount of CGI will ever take away from the skill of tom savini; he has been a guru in makeup fx for 30 years almost and there is only so much you can do with cgi ... he is upclose and realistic as it can get. tom > all
More flexible. But the beauty of practical effects is that you know its there. It creates a presence that CGI stuff still can't duplicate. And in the end its just practical. But i dont knock CGI. I still think its good and can help move things along. Check out "Metal gear: Philanthropy" Its free to download. Its an hour long fan movie. Made for a budget of $13,000. Their CGI turned their 13K movie into a million dollar movie. (Made it look that way)
@pacman80500 im with you on that one, i just watched the new survival of the dead and the cgi just looks cheap and nasty. day and land of the dead had amazing make up effects, why romero chose not to use savini or the lotd make up artist on diary or survival is a mystery.
"Thats old, this is new and better, cause is most expensive"
A Nightmare on elm street 2010 suckz, Friday the 13th suks, Halloween of Rob Zombie was the only classic make up i ever seen on this days oh and Guillermo del Toro films like Hellboy and the otherz
@pacman80500 Most effects, especially in horror films, these days aren't CGI unless it's high budget as most CGI artists, to produce something that fits well with the surrounding area, costs a lot. You'd be surprised how much is still practical.
