AN explosive family production that takes audiences behind the scenes of their favourite movies is coming to Redditch.

The Hollywood Special Effects Show, which shows people how special effects are created for the screen, will be at the Palace Theatre.

As well as explosions and stunts, David Brown, a special FX make up artist who has worked on the sets of Game of Thrones, Guardians of the Galaxy, and The Dark Knight Rises, will take audiences through his most gruesome and ghastly make up and prosthetics.

There will also be people exposing the trade secrets to creating movie magic and giving a revealing insight into some of the most spectacular scenes in Hollywood.

A spokesman described the show as "a dangerously exciting theatrical experience like no other".

"For families and movie-buffs alike, you will feel the heat from spectacular explosions, get up close with gruesome sci-fi monsters, be blown away by apocalyptic weather and possibly star in your own high-octane stunt sequence, they said.

It will be coming to the Palace Theatre on Saturday, October 24.
