Title: H.R. Giger dead at 74 Post by: apocrypha on May 13, 2014, 02:56:42 AM http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-27390345
Very twisted visions he had, but one of a kind undoubtedly. His designs for Alien still set the bar for otherworldly visceral images 35 years later. Title: Re: H.R. Giger dead at 74 Post by: Sky on May 13, 2014, 07:07:35 AM (http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9b7d1JtmN1rstq71o2_250.gif)
Title: Re: H.R. Giger dead at 74 Post by: angry.bob on May 13, 2014, 07:35:28 AM I wonder what his coffin looks like and if he designed it. I really hope it's a big Alien egg and his corpse is spring loaded to pop out of it and land on the mourner at his burial.

Hmm. Title: Re: H.R. Giger dead at 74 Post by: Paelos on May 13, 2014, 08:43:19 AM Did they both show up to that award ceremony?

Quote Last year, he was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in Seattle, along with fellow inductees, David Bowie and JRR Tolkien. Hmm. There's no fantasy hall of fame and the geeks felt he had to go SOMEWHERE. Also you have the same problem with Tolkien. I wonder what his coffin looks like and if he designed it. I assumed a penis or a very stretched out woman and he gets buried between her thighs. Also, I wish I'd gotten something before the prices skyrocketed on his stuff. Title: Re: H.R.
