William Terezakis (1966-2021), was the main makeup effects artist on Freddy vs. Jason (2003) and the junior member of the effects team of Friday the 13th Part 8 (1989). The Canadian-born Terezakis (right) is seen here with Jamie Brown (middle) and Tibor Farkas (left), both also deceased, during production of part 8. They were the makeup crew on the film, and Terezakis seems to have had a hand in sculpting the Jason design.
Bill also seems to have handled sculpting, makeup and mask-making for Freddy vs. Jason, and we see a ton of evidence of that from his estate auction.

There were evidently two Jason molds made for the film: a hero mold, which was split down the middle, and a stunt mold which was split more traditionally through the ears and across the shoulders. The hero mold sold for $2,850 CAD.
There was also what appears to be a paint master from the hero mold. This one sold for a massive $20,000 CAD.
There was also a bunch of hockey mask blanks that came out of this. The top one here (lot 722) sold for $15,000 CAD and the lot of experimental masks below sold for $8,500 CAD.

And here was the most unexpected thing... Bill evidently kept a part 8 mask for himself. The sculpt it sits on doesn't appear to be a movie mold cowl but may be a design maquette created during pre-production. I'll tell you though, something looks off about this hockey mask. It doesn't seem to be movie mold--the movie masks were vacuum-formed clear plastic (acrylic or PETG) probably .093 sheet, but this appears to be much thicker and the nose doesn't quite look right for a part 8. I wonder if Bill just bought a fan-made mask as a souvenir. It's also possible that it was a casting master for the masks of Freddy vs. Jason. It sold for $2,300 CAD.
There were also Freddy molds, maquettes and makeup busts but hey, this isn't a Freddy blog.

Rest in peace Bill, and thanks for the movie magic.
