Welcome to Monster in my Closet.com, your on-line home to New Jersey's premiere special effects make-up and Fabrication studio!

At Monster in my Closet, we specialize in not only special effects make-up for your every film, television, and theatrical need, but also custom prop fabrication, industrial mold-making, animatronics, story-board, concept design, and anything else you can imagine that requires an artistic touch.

Head artist of Monster in my Closet: Jeremy Selenfriend has been bringing to life the various things which lurk in his imagination (not to mention in his shop) professionally for the last seven years, but has been thinking them up, and making them for himself since he was 10 years old and allowed to decorate the house for Halloween.

Jeremy trained in the field of make-up and special effects at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, and also with renowned make-up creator Dick Smith, and of course learned a great deal just trying things, taking on various internships, and apprenticeships. "The learning process is never complete however, with new technologies in the field being developed all of the time. Keeping current and on top of new techniques is essential to stay in business."

After years of successful freelancing, Jeremy went into full fledged business for himself, opening the doors to Monster in my Closet in 2003. The fully loaded workshop is located in North Jersey, right outside of Manhattan (exit 165 on the Garden State Parkway).

Monster in my Closet is responsible for bringing a bevy of monsters, ghouls, and the seemingly unimaginable to local (and many not so local on-location shoots) film-makers on both small and large budgeted films and videos. "Staying cost effective is important as people are trying to bring their dreams to life, and I love being able to help them achieve that. At the end of the day, I go to sleep having made my living doing what I love, and have wanted since I was a child. That brings a level of passion to my work that you don't often see, and that keeps me going in the field, despite any obstacles."
