Keep in mind that Baker is a member here.  That doesn't mean we have to tiptoe around the subject, but just an FYI.

  Me three, Baker all the way.   Both are extremely talented, but Baker's name brings images of monsters, where Savini just conjures gore for me.   Baker's FX on The Increadible Melting Man were fantastic.

Yes, for diversity of subject matter I'll vote for Baker too, but both are extremely talented

I voted Savini, mostly because I've always liked his work, but really the two are not even the same type of SFX. Savini does some of the creature effects, true, but Baker is better at that.. Savini's better at violent effects, and I'm not sure Baker is as good there. Apples and oranges.

Why don't you make me pick my favorite child, for God's sake?!?!?

Baker's career has been much longer and more diverse. Tom cut back on practical effects work some years ago to consentrate on acting and teaching as the industry moved to CGI.

Can I add Rob Bottin?

Another for Baker. A talented artist, and tremendously versatile too.

Baker too. But Bottin and Savini are both champs too.

My vote goes to Tom Baker.

We figured you'd stalk him, so we kept it from you.

Love Savini's gore but Baker wins for his ape work (on several different projects) alone!  Besides that, love the movie or hate it,....he designed the new feakin' Wolfman!!!

Agreed!

Both are equally different, legendary, and fantasic in what they( Baker, Savini)do without a doubt.
Extremely difficult choice. So my choice is clearly, BLANK. >:D

Baker has it down to a perfection. Yet savini is "the godfather of gore". And directs, acts, and is a stuntman to boot. I have to go with the sex machine.

Easy... Baker.

I love both of them, but I grew up watching Savini's stuff, so I'm going to have to go with Tom Savini on this one.  However, Tom Savini isn't doing effects anymore, while Rick Baker still is, so I think Rick Baker has better longevity.

Thank you. After just participating in the Bama-Frazetta-Gogos vote, my head has now exploded.

Have always been huge fan of Rick's phenomenal work. Embarrassingly, I'd have to do a credit check to know Tom's work
