Thomas FX is now open every day, except Thanksgiving Monday, until October 31'st.

Our store hours will be constantly updated on the left navigation panel of our website, so please check there to confirm that we are open each day.

Saturday was busy and lot's of fun as we reconnected with some of our favorite store regulars.

With more than 1,000 new product sku's, in addition to our standing inventory, this is without a doubt our best seasonal collection ever.

Happy Halloween everyone. . . the fun has already started so come in and say hello.

Thomas FX is very Proud of its SN-600 Snow machine and falling snow system. This is a professional level snow machine with DMX capabilities.

We searched far and wide to find a snow machine and snow system that delivered a high level of performance and reliability.

So far, with many hundreds now in operation around the world, the SN-600 has not let us down.

Manufactured specifically for Thomas FX by one of the world's foremost makers of artificial snow systems, the SN-600 is quickly being adopted be film industry special effects professionals everywhere. Everyone raves about the performance of this equipment.

However, like all professional quality equipment, it does have its Achilles Heel. . . . "operator error". 

Operator error includes: an operator not knowing how to operate the equipment, an operator allowing the fluid reservoir to run dry, an operator using the equipment in environments that are hostile to electrical equipment, an operator failing to clean the machine from time to time, and an operator who puts the wrong kind of fluid into the machine.

With a professional at the controls, and a touch of basic common sense, the SN-600 Snow System will exceed your expectations for years to come.

Last week we had fun helping one of our favorite customers pick out makeup for her character in the 2014 Vancouver Zombie Walk.

Check out these Before and After photos.

Job well done Sophie!

Sophie recommends Monsters By Mindy for your next monster makeover.

On Thursday we woke up to discover that the Thomas FX YouTube page was missing.

We have no idea why Google terminated our Channel, but we have reached out repeatedly to Google for help restoring our Channel.

So far Google has not responded to our service requests, although we did receive an automated email response acknowledging our request for help.

Our sincerest apologies to everyone for our YouTube Channel being crashed. We will resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, here is an excerpt from a recent entry in our G mail account:
