Rick Baker was very concerned about the casting of Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi, seeing how they didn't share any similar facial features. Baker, being a very big fan of Lugosi and who had known Tim Burton before the film, pursued the job as makeup designer fearing that a lesser makeup artist would do too much. Baker designed and created subtle appliances that would alter Landau's features to make him more resemble Lugosi (a set of ears, a nose, a chin, and an appliance to cover the fullness of his upper lip) that Ve Neill would apply on a daily basis. Landau, Baker and Neill would all eventually win Academy Awards for their work.
