Face Off's fourth season will feature 14 special effects make-up artists who will meet in Los Angeles and compete in a series of hands-on artistic and genre-themed challenges -- including re-creating goblin kings, original comic book superheroes, candy creatures, and zombie hordes -- that will ultimately determine a winner.

Actress McKenzie Westmore will reprise her role as host of Face Off.

Renowned makeup artist Ve Neill, special effects artist Glenn Hetrick and makeup artist Neville Page will serve as Face Off's fourth-season judges. Guest judges for the upcoming season will include Bryan Singer, Gale Anne Hurd, John Landau, Michael Nankin, and John Rhys-Davies.

Joining the cast as the contestants' new mentor will be Michael Westmore, a world-renowned Hollywood makeup artist.
