Sad news reaches us of the death of one of the undoubted greats of cinema design. Following complications arising from a fall, HR Giger, the man who terrified a gazillion film-goers with his
Alien creatures in the suspenseful horror, has departed this world for the next. Giger snagged a deserved Oscar for his multi-mouthed, stomach-popping space monsters and claustrophobic
sets, and his designs were used in several successful sequels. As well as his film work, Giger was a surrealist painter and sculptor of note, and the art world is the poorer for his passing.
