11 Disturbing Monsters Who Would Make H.R Giger Proud - Explained In Detail

7 years ago, Sci-Fi fans mourned the death of master sculptor, painter, artist and set-designer, HR Giger. But they can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that his legacy will live on in the minds and hearts of many generations to come. Giger is best remembered for his design of the alien xenomorphs from the 1979 horror science-fiction thriller Alien, for which he won the 1980 Oscar for Visual Effects, and its sequels. Xenomorphs were dreadfully scary creatures, and Giger based them on his painting Necronom IV. He took inspiration from artists like Ernst Fuchs and Salvador Dalí as well as the literary works of HP Lovecraft, but still remained entirely original. Giger’s speciality was he knowing exactly what would scare us as audiences. In an interview, he said that he didn’t want his alien to have eyes because that made it scarier; people wouldn’t know where it was looking and that would heighten the horror. This sort of vision was groundbreaking and space-shattering. Oh and, while we are on the subject of space, in 2018, an asteroid was named 109712 Giger after this man. However, his legacy isn’t limited just to xenomorphs: he designed a Batmobile for Batman Forever and worked on films like Poltergeist II. Furthermore, his art became a part of pop-culture; his paintings and art-work attracted many rock bands. Notably, Dead Kennedys used his painting Penis Landscape as a poster insert for their 1985 album Frankenchrist, and their record label almost went bankrupt defending the decision in court. Giger continues to influence interior design, fashion, and tattoos. In this video, we will talk about monsters who hail from different media and qualify to be in Giger’s museum, or at least in his heart!
