15 (All) H.R Giger's Monster And Creatures Created By Him - Explained (Father Of Xenomorphs)
218HR Giger often joked that his art saved him from ending up on a psychiatrist’s couch. And to be honest, his brilliant yet extremely twisted mind would have been a psychiatrist’s wet dream had it not been for his paintings. According to his second wife, Carmen Giger—Director of the Giger Museum in Switzerland—his recurring nightmares and his raw imagination played huge roles in everything he created. She recalls him saying that if he hadn’t had a chance to paint, his mind would have been an absolute playground for therapists. But instead, the world got one of the most fearsome creatures ever committed to film: the Alien from Ridley Scott’s 1979 masterpiece. In this video, we will explore all the monsters of the legendary Mr Giger, including his work on films like Batman Forever, Poltergeist 2, the unmade Dune movie, his Giger Bars and Giger Room, where people could drink in a setting straight out of his mind, and more.
