- Only man in Hollywood who can claim all four titles of stuntman, make-up artist, actor, and director. Only one man has come close: makeup artist, actor, stuntman Lon Chaney - Tom's influence and childhood idol.
- Was originally supposed to be a special effects make-up artist on La noche de los muertos (1968), however Tom enlisted to serve in Vietnam.
- Vietnam veteran.
- Is good friends with horror director George A. Romero. The two have worked together on many films.
- Is the only actor to star in three 'Dead' films; he first played the role of 'Blades', an outlaw biker in El amanecer de los muertos vivientes (1978) and then in the 2004 remake of Dawn as a County Sheriff. He then reprised his 'Blades' role in Tierra de los muertos (2005), this time as an undead.
- [asked if his Vietnam experiences influence his makeup effects) I get asked that question a lot. I did see a lot of first-hand anatomically correct gore and I think the most important part of that was if we create a dead body or situation there's a certain feeling you get from seeing the real thing. If I'm creating a gory effect and I don't get the same feeling when I saw the real stuff, I'm not satisfied.
- I actually turned down Martes 13 (2.ª parte) (1981) to do Los sentenciados (1981) because Jason was running around in "Part 2" and as you know, there is no Jason. Jason was a kid that died in the first movie. If you watch a "Friday the 13th" movie past "Part One", you're stupid. 'Cause there's no Jason. There shouldn't be a Jason.
- Everyone thinks Tom Savini doesn't like something unless there's blood and gore. That's stupid. My favorite movies are love stories.
- Film is a truly magical medium. You can create illusions of reality, make people think they've seen things that they really haven't -- like blowing a guy's head off with a shotgun.
- My grandson is five years old and he knows who Frankenstein (1931) is. One day I will show him my bust of Jack P. Pierce and say, "You've seen what Grandad does and he made these monsters and that's why I make my monsters now."
