I know I’m dating myself.. but when OMNI existed as an excellent science/science fiction magazine, they ran an article featuring H.R. Geiger, showing his renderings for Alien. Wish I still had it..
The Alien creature literally influenced every monster that came after it … either overtly or in subtle ways. Genius, as is the movie.
