Let’s talk. I need you to know who Dan O’Bannon is. He’s one of the largest reasons the first Alien (1979) movie was written, produced, exists. He was one of the two writers on that film, and helped on it through production. Another thing about him that’s rather important I feel is that he was a good friend to H.R. Giger. The artist wild beast that is H.R. Giger is the one who illustrated the monster. Recently, I basically just found out, Dan O’Bannon passed on to death. This is a tribute to that man using his friend H.R. Giger’s artworks, the stranger wildnesses of the film, and the rarities that come from the darkness that is the evil corners of these internets. Be on your guard.

It is a strange legacy to have hit the world strongest with a film about terror. Instead of listing the positive, loving films O’Bannon’d worked on, let’s instead focus on this. The film Alien, basically the place where Dan O’Bannon shined brightest. He worked on a crapload of other things before and after, but this is the thing right now. Right now, nothing else is such a bright star. And in regards to what we, here, at World Famous Design Junkies push into space, there’s a lot of lovely, inspiring, and sometimes fantastically campy imagery, moving images, and sounds in there.

It’s a moment in history that inspired lots and lots of other positive things, wild things, and really really WEIRD things. And here they all are. All of them. Every single one.

DAN O’BANNON! Thank you for such a lovely thing.
