Ep 5. Death Dealers

In season 13 episode 5 of Face Off, titled "Death Dealers," the remaining contestants are challenged to create their own spin on the classic Grim Reaper character.

The episode begins with host McKenzie Westmore introducing the challenge and revealing that the guest judge for this week is renowned makeup artist Glenn Hetrick. The contestants are visibly excited for the opportunity to work with Hetrick, who has worked on a number of high-profile projects including The Hunger Games and Star Trek: Discovery.

Following the challenge announcement, the contestants head to the lab to begin work on their designs. As usual, the contestants all have very different approaches to the challenge, with some opting for a more traditional look for the Grim Reaper while others choose to take more creative liberties.

One contestant, for example, decides to take inspiration from Japanese culture and incorporates elements of samurai armor into their design. Another opts for a more futuristic take on the character, with a sleek, high-tech look complete with LED lights and intricate circuitry.

As the contestants work on their designs, they also face a number of technical challenges. Some struggle with creating the intricate facial prosthetics required for their designs, while others run into issues with their molds. One contestant even has to start over completely after their original design doesn't turn out the way they had hoped.

Throughout the episode, Hetrick provides feedback and guidance to the contestants, offering tips on how to improve their designs and technique. He also takes note of the contestants' creativity and attention to detail, encouraging them to push themselves even further.

Finally, it's time for the reveal. As the contestants present their designs on the reveal stage, Hetrick provides his expert opinion on each one. Some designs impress him while others fall short, and the contestants wait anxiously to find out who will be safe and who will be going home.

In the end, one contestant is eliminated while the rest stay in the competition to continue on to the next challenge. All in all, "Death Dealers" is another intense and exciting episode of Face Off, showcasing the skill and creativity of its talented contestants and the expertise of special guest judge Glenn Hetrick.
