To Stan Winston, the grand wizard of special effects for sci-fi classics such as "Aliens" and "The Terminator", thanks for the memories. And at 62 years old, you will greatly be missed by all.

R.I.P. Stan Winston (1946-2008)

Ouch the stinks. He really helped Interview be an amazing flick.

Wow. A SFX giant passes.

Thank you Stan Winston for all of your creations. You made our jaws drop many times. You will be missed.

Sad day for Hollywood and the rest of us. He was a master of his craft and one of the best special effects creators of all time.

Rest in peace Stan. Thanks for all those great movie memories.

doctorsteve · 06-16-2008, 08:25 PM

Wow. A giant among giants. Many in the effects industry today were weaned on his films. RIP

crazybat_07 · 06-16-2008, 08:46 PM

This sux. Hollywood has lost a legend in special effects.

Elandyll · 06-16-2008, 08:51 PM

A True Magician... This era's Ray Harryhausen imo, and will be sorely missed.

GodOfThunder818 · 06-16-2008, 09:23 PM

I still can't believe it. I never worked directly for him, but I have a few friends that have. They all say he was a great guy. He will be missed. If you haven't read his book "The Winston Effect" check it out. It's an excellent read.

EvolutionCherry · 06-16-2008, 09:27 PM

My god! I liked this guys work!

RIP Mr. Winston.

DaleDark · 06-16-2008, 09:35 PM

Between him, Rick Baker, Dick Smith and Tom Savini, they revolutionized Make-up effects and creature design. Stan's passing is a huge blow to the art of film. Thank you Stan.

P.S.: Did anyone here know that one of Stan's earlier projects was designing Mr. Roboto for Styx's mini movie/concept album "Kilroy Was Here"? He came a long way.

PS3FAN · 06-16-2008, 10:48 PM

This week keeps getting worse and worse.

Godspeed Stan...

Are you kidding? I thought Mr. Roboto was amazing work for it's time. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=q84GLe...eature=related
