Movie Question

Years ago, I saw a movie in which a horror makeup specialist was the villain. He had worked on - and with - the greats, but now the studio was switching to teen beach films and he was out of a job, once this last monster movie was over.

He had discovered that by adding a drug to his effects makeup he could produce a hypnotic effect. He used this to cause the young actors in the movie - in full makeup - to murder the executives responsible for the change in genre.

Can anyone tell me the name of this movie?

I believe that is "I Was A Teenage WereWolf!", also poking fun at all the "I Was A/I Married A..." teen confessional exploitation movies of that decade. I cant recall if "I Married a Space Monster!" came out before or after "I Was A Teenage Werewolf!", but it made a few jabs as well.

No, _Teenage Werewolf_ had Michael Landon and (IIRC) was the first of the "Teenage" monster movies. This was made later, and had a different cast and plot.

AHA! "How to Make a Monster!"
I was close anyway, since the movie used the same werewolf mask and appliances. http://www.hermancohen.com/makemonster/index.html
