Wow! These are scarily convincing makeup especially the Pale man which I never saw the movie but that's frightening. You know who should have been on the list? Bill Nighy as Davy Jones. I was saying to my mom while watching one of the sequels how when he turned human as a result of Calypso he was hardly recognizable before as that tentacle monster

My older sister is a lifelong Rocky Horror fan and when I showed her a picture of Tim Curry in 'Legend' she had no idea who it was. Also I could likely pass Doug Bradley on the street and never know he was Pinhead.
I’m a Spfx artist myself. It’s so fun to transform people into something completely different. My colleague and I changed a guy for his family reunion and not even his own mom could recognize him. To us, that is the ultimate compliment.
TIM CURRY as “Darkness” in “LEGEND” (1985)!!!.

My only suggestion would to be have shown what the actors like like normally, like was done with Heath Ledger and Charlize Theron.
Gary Oldman's chameleon roles are so good and frequent that when I started to see him in less made up roles, I didn't even know who he was. Kudos for his transformation parts: Mason Verger, Dracula, Drexel, and Winston Churchill (there's probably others but can't think of them offhand). I don't count Sid Vicious since it was really only his hair that was changed, but wow he didn't look like himself.

Top 10 Actors Who Are Unrecognizable OUT Of Makeup -- #1 Doug Jones
Aileen Wuornos role was absolutely amazing- down to every detail.
Tim Curry as Darkness in Legend should've been top 3. He was in prosthetics from head to toe. If it wasnt for his iconic voice he would be completely unrecognizable!
The Elephant Man was an excellent movie. And that was a time when there weren't as many special effects options, too.

How can you have this list and not put tim curry on here as darkness. From legend
Without Tim Curry as Darkness I call this list bs, half of these you could recognize but I didn't know that was Curry until I was like 10 and I grew up on Tim Curry movies and had seen legend about a dozen times by then. Now that is what you call a real transformation. Can't believe Nanny McPhee, Les Grossman, and even Voldemort are on here but not him.

Being a special effects make up artist I often watch films for the make up. I don't know why Nick Dudman's work on the Harry Potter series wasn't more recognised at awards cos they even had the same actor, Warwick Davis, play two roles but with different prosthetics.
I was waiting for Doug to be on this list. One of my favorite actors by far!

You forgot a very important makeup transformation - actually TWO. Linda Blair as Regan MacNeil in The Exorcist and the late, great Lon Chaney in The Phantom of the Opera.
Tim Curry - Darkness in Legend
Given Doug Jones’ specialty, he probably could have filled this entire list in his own.
