Stan Winston RIP — hope the Predator didn’t get you.

Creepy crawlies, dinosaurs and other space creatures — a moment of silence please. Stan Winston, Academy Award-winning creator of special effects, makeup and creatures has died at 62.

Best known for his work on the Terminator series, the Jurassic Park series, Aliens, the Predator series, and Edward Scissorhands — he also designed the Mr. Roboto mask for Styx’x 1983 album.

So domo arigato, Mr. Winston. I still can’t stand the fucking scribble and scratching of the face hugger skittering across the floor in the Alien Quadrology. Thanks for that bit of life-lasting horror and disgust, my friend.

Stan’s vision, creativity and monsters will be missed greatly.

Here’s just one story.

Thanks for the tip Kegger.
