HOW THE HORN WAS MOUNTED ON THE ACTOR'S BODY According to The Citizen the rhino horn was carved from a block of polystyrene and then sanded, and the exterior was made from a product called Free Form Sculpt.

The horn was mounted on a tiny piece of Masonite board, and then tied around the actor before adding the bloody finishing touches and gauze.
