'Face Off' recap: 'Mortal Sins'

BY LARISSA MRYKALO

This sinfully good episode of “Face Off” had the remaining seven artists praying they don’t get eliminated. Forgive me for these Biblical references...for I did not mean to offend. Anyway, let’s head to St. Brendan’s Catholic Church and see what forbidden fruit awaits.

Spotlight Challenge
Inside the famous church, Glenn and McKenzie revealed that in this challenge, the artists would be creating a forbidding character that embodies one of the seven deadly sins. They chose one of seven colored apples that represents the sin and would have to incorporate that color into their design.

Here are their sins and color: Greed/yellow (Laney); Pride/violet (Roy); Wrath/red (Laura); Gluttony/orange (Frank); Sloth/light blue (Tate); Lust/royal blue (Miranda); and, Envy/green (Eddie).

Glenn urged that they bring the design to life but don’t make it too obvious. Tate was super excited because he’s a big fan of Dante’s “Inferno.” They took inspiration from the beautiful, gothic interior of the church and then headed back to the lab to start their sculpts.

Lab Work
The artists revealed details about their preliminary designs. Roy described a woman who tried so hard to be beautiful, she ended up looking like a monster. Frank just took the easy route...gluttony equals a fat guy. He prophetically said, “Go big or go home.” His molds were nice though! Poor Tate needed to be his template for the fat suit though. Worst job ever!

'Munsters' reboot 'Mockingbird Lane' pilot gets air date

We've spoken quite a bit about Bryan Fuller's (Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me) Munsters reboot, Mockingbird Lane, which was to be a dark comedic drama ... and which never quite emerged. The show has had a problematic run and will almost surely never get a full series order. However, NBC has decided to show Fuller's pilot because, well why the hell not?

Airing Oct. 26 at 8 p.m. ET, this will likely be the only time you'll get a chance to check out this weird project. Based on the preview below, the show has some interesting moments but doesn't really look all that exciting. Tune in Oct. 26 and see for yourself.

If you've been following the developing production of the NBC Munsters reboot Mockingbird Lane, you'll know that Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, The Amazing Screw-On Head) is behind the dark dramedy. Well, like most of us, he apparently can't stop from spilling some beans on social media and has provided a few glimpses from the production as it comes together. Here's a peek at the Munster house.
