H. R. Giger

Poltergeist II

It's too bad they didn't go with more of his vision. I guess it was a little too extreme for a PG-13 movie.

Someone made a model kit of the Great Beast and Primitive Creature designs that Giger did for Poltergeist 2.

And, just for fun, here's a little "Giger dwarf" statue.

All the HT ALIEN talk got me looking at some of Giger's work. Time to bump this thread in honor of the man.

I actually bought this Debbie Harry album just because of the cover.

Nice work Battsworth... never saw that Debbie Harry video before, very cool. I've seen the album, but didn't make the Giger connection.

Here's a link about the two of them working together. Debbie was really hot back in the day. I also have the ELP Giger did with the gatefold cover.

Yeah, Debbie Harry was smokin'... and obviously had good taste

That's a great video! I love the part where he talks about his mother.

This is a good video. Make sure to watch it in full-screen HD.

Some amazing stuff here. Let's keep this thread alive and keep finding more Giger stuff to post here. his work is amazing. Decades ahead of his time and too often misunderstood. Glad we love it.

 

[Jmek]

Thanks for starting this thread. Giger is truly original and up there with Durer, Bosch and Dali.

Top thread people.
I've been a Giger fan for many years and have many of his books.
I'll post some pic's of his art work soon as I have heaps of it stored on my PC.

 

[Reinhardt]

Giger is the greatest. I have the following piece framed and get interesting looks whenever people see it. (sorry for the big pic)

 

[Nacho]
