Since the clicker attack takes place at night, the makeup process would start around 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. Gower estimates the entire bloater suit weighed 40 kilograms or more, roughly 88 pounds, which was a heavier build than Vecna from “Stranger Things.” On top of the bloater, there were 10-15 stunt performers dressed in clicker costumes and 40-60 infected extras who wreaked havoc on the Kansas City cul-de-sac in “The Last of Us.” It took a team of 65 prosthetic artists five hours to finish all the makeup. We were repeatedly going in and gelling him up more, covering him in this lube so he was nice and shiny.” It was like a texture that we were building up, so we were constantly going in and slathering them in this gloss, just so the shapes would pick up in the silhouettes. To get the shapes to read, we had to cover them in a gloss. We had lots of little spines and spiky hairs punched into his body, like little growths burrowing out. “We covered him in this gel-like solution, which gave him a gloss to all the fungus. “The suit would be very soft, but very slimy and wet,” Gower says.
To make the fungus pieces stand out during the nighttime scene where the bloater massacres a team of soldiers, Basil’s suit was covered in a slimy lubricant. He had all these pendulous folds of fungus which hid zippers and poppers.” We had a zipper up the back and around the waist that we could zip them together. We had a team who fabricated all these parts together. That was all molded and cast in separate sections: top half, head, arms, legs. It’s almost like an upholstery foam, a very spongy sort of material. “We cast it out of a foam rubber and foam latex, which is very lightweight. “We had a whole copy of his body that we modeled the bloater prosthetics over in modeling clay,” Gower says. Gower recommended him for the job to “The Last of Us” showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, then made a complete cast of Basil’s body to shape the monster.
stuntman who worked on “Game of Thrones” with Gower, had the perfect “build, girth and fitness” for the bloater.
