"Monster" Midian Crosby – Makeup FX Artist | Creature Creator | Specialty Costumer | Creative Chaos Wrangler

For over 20 years, "Monster" Midian Crosby has been up to her elbows in silicone, foam latex, and movie magic, bringing creatures, characters, and cinematic nightmares to life. From blockbuster films to gritty indie projects, her artistry has touched feature films, TV series, commercials, and live events, making actors unrecognizable and monsters way too real.

As the owner and Lead Artist of Monster Makeup FX™, Midian has tackled everything from hand-laid beards to full-body muscle suits, lifelike prosthetics to jaw-dropping creature builds. Her passion? The endless puzzle of problem-solving on set, turning budget and time constraints into creative gold—because nothing fuels her more than the thrill of making the impossible happen.

Midian's sculpted, stitched, and airbrushed her way through projects like Scare Tactics (2024), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Stranger Things, The Haunting of Hill House, The Walking Dead, and countless others. When she’s not buried in molds or mastering the art of realistic aging, you’ll find her teaching future FX wizards, whipping up legendary meals as a personal chef on the side, or researching period styles down to the last historically accurate eyebrow.

Whether crafting a hyper-realistic disguise, a terrifyingly lifelike corpse, or a full-scale creature suit, Midian brings passion, precision, and just the right amount of chaos to every project. Because at the end of the day, it’s all about storytelling—one brushstroke, stitch, and sculpt at a time.
