Comments: I agree that HR Giger should receive screen credit (at the very least) for ANY project involving the Alien franchise. If I may comment a bit on 'Alien Resurrection' - while I am a huge fan of Delecatessen and City of Lost Children, Alien IV just didn't hold up. And as for the 'newborn' well, let's just say that little kids in the theater were laughing...

Comments: If Mr. Giger gets this, I would just like for him to know that even if his name wasn't in the credits (I didn't even hang around to watch 'em), that I know that he is the one responsible for the original "Alien" design, and that I repect him for that. The creature he created was so beautiful (in a truly horrifying way) in its intrigue (the way it seems to be built of little fibers of stretched flesh- you always want a better look), and how its perfect design was one that instilled total terror. Mr. Giger truly has a touch for creating the monsters that stick with you and terrify you in and out of the theater.

Comments: dear Mr.Giger: We still in your side on this "Insurrection" incident but unfortunately the only way that Fox is going to retract his attitude towards recognize you as the alien creator is by "taking legal action"... We really hope that all of this situation end in your favor in the near future but please, still keeping the high art work. Sincerely yours... AYALA

Comments: Both I and my husband work in the film industry. It has been a peeve of mine for a long time that many talented people who have contributed their work to films and television continually go uncredited for all their hard work. This REALLY pisses me off, especially when I read the credits and see instances where the producer's damn DOG gets a film credit, and a personal friend who designed or fabricated a featured prop goes without mention. My husband designed both the shovel and air freshener in the film "Spawn," but because he worked for a prop company subcontracted by the studio, there was no mention whatsoever. The studios have taken to having 2 or 3 (MAYBE) union prop makers who get credit, when all the REAL work has been subbed out to a small shop with crews who work below scale, at straight time for sometimes 20 hours a day, with no benefits and no hope of ever being credited. I work at a re-recording facility for Warner Bros., and an issue has been raised by the sound recordists due to WB's refusal to credit them in their films. These people work just as hard, if not harder, than the mixers and editors who always get credit. Not surprisingly, the recordists' letter of complaint was blatantly ignored, and they never even received a response or a "buzz off." The major studios constantly show their total lack of respect for the thousands of "little people" who make their movies possible. I hope with all my heart that Mr. Giger will be vindicated. Perhaps if more people didn't stand for the studios' blatant disregard for the REAL talent, they'd pull their heads out of their asses and do the right thing. Sue the pants off them, and hit them where it'll hurt the most! I plan to add a rant on my page regarding this lack of credit where it's due, and will put up a link to this site. Mr. Giger, thank you so much for ALL of your beautiful work throughout the years. I've lost the "Penis Landscape" poster I had to send away for because of uptight American censorship which pulled it from the Dead Kennedys' albums, but I will always treasure the memory! Being the wife of a propmaker, my apartment's decoration is rife with "scary" things, including Aliens - I wouldn't have it any other way! =) The best of everything to you and yours. I pray for justice for you in your credit quest! ~Roxanne Brown

Comments: I have a question for you Mr Giger. If you say you are the father of the Alien Creature (which you are), why in the world did you not work on Aliens or Alien Resurrection. If I created a fearsome creature like the one you created, I would be demanding to be on every Alien film to make sure the creauture design remains true to your original vision. I mean, it would have been nice to see what your vision of The Hive would be in Aliens. I would have liked to see your vision of the Newborn for Alien Resurrection(for non-HR Giger, it was pretty good. But I know you could do better). So why not do this, if Fox does do Alien 5, offer your services to them. Then when you sign your contract, have a clause in there that states this-Before the opening credits start a title card will be shown. It will read this: "The Alien Creature Design for Alien, Aliens, Alien3, Alien Resurrection, and Alien5, is based on the work of artist H.R. Giger" That's it! You just got all the credit for every Alien film! Plus you could state in your contract that if Fox does Alien6(the film that is supposed to take place on the Alien Homeworld) and does not give you credit, you can be repaid in large amounts of cash. I just wish you would finish working on films like Species and get things straightened out with Fox. It would be great to see how YOU think an Alien with human DNA should act in an Alien film. COULD YOU MAKE THE FANS HAPPY AND WORK ON ALIEN5? PLEASE?!?! Note-I have given you credit for your Alien Creature Design on my website.

Comments: I had been planning to visit this site for some time (I found the address in the text in a diary I was given for Christmas), and then I saw the article in SFX magazine about the producers of Alien: Resurrection refusing to acknowledge H.R. Giger's contribution. I would like to say that I think this is grossly unfair of them (and probably illegal, but I wouldn't know - I'm studying biology, not law), since it was the unique biomechanical style of Giger's original Necronom artwork and Alien design which made the movies what they are today. Without the strikingly effective creature and derelict spacecraft from the first film, the Alien movies would be virtually nothing. The visual impact of Giger's design has been clearly carried through all the films, since it made a major contribution to the first film's success. Would there have been a second film if the creature looked less (for want of a better term) "wierd"? The combination of insectile and humanoid form with the unique semi-organic look was partly what kept the audiences on the edge of their seats back in the late '70s, as it did for me three years ago when I first saw it. If the Alien had been visually weak, there would not have been enough interest to justify a sequel. Certainly if there had been an Aliens without the style we see today, Alien 3 would not have been made. It is Giger's original designs and continuing contributions which are the foundation for the unique and distinctive look of the Alien creatures, one which has become a part of science-fiction history. Twentieth Century Fox should be ashamed of themselves. They have denied rightful recognition to a great artist who has, through the movies, developed a following (everyone I know who has seen an Alien movie had never heard of Giger before, but most of them like his artwork now because they were introduced to it by the movie). They owe him a great deal for helping Ridley Scott, Dan O'Bannon, Ronald Shussett, and the rest of the original Alien team to produce a multimillion dollar franchise, one which doubltess is still earning thousands of dollars a day as Alien: Resurrection continues to play at movie theatres across the globe. As a fan and supporter, I demand that they recognise this vital contribution to their success; after all, Dark Horse Comics credit Giger in the indicia of every Aliens-related issue (look in the small print - it's usually something like "Original Alien design by H.R. Giger"). If a comics company can do it, even when their Aliens vary in places from the established look (like being cartoony - although they are always based upon the original, so credit where it's due, I suppose), then Fox should too! Well, that's my two cents' worth. For the record, if anyone from Fox reads this: I am in full support of H.R. Giger's right to be credited for at least the original Alien design in the credits of Alien: Resurrection, if not a more significant contribution. And for any fans who have not yet signed up to support their favourite artist: WHY NOT??? Fandom is, as comics, movies, and TV series have proved (remember how they stopped the network from axing Star Trek back in the 60s and got it a third season?), a reciprocal arrangement. They give you what you want and you support them if they need it! The best of luck to Giger and his followers in this battle. The thoughts and feelings of every sci-fi fan at Leicester University are with you.

Comments: H.R. Giger and the Aliens creatures are one and the same, he is the Father Creature. Mr. Giger should most definitely be credited for the creature design, even if he was not directly involved ( other than designing, conceiving, painting, rough drafts, blood, sweat and tears, etc.) in the most recent film in the aliens quartet

Comments: I was really waiting to see the new Alien movie. Now I'm not so sure anymore. Fox has (obviously intentionally) omitted Gigers name from the credits, which clearly shows that they don't have any respect for Giger's original work. Without Giger's unique art there wouldn't be any Alien sequels. Without Giger-designed alien the first Alien movie would propably have also been the last, just another scifi/horror movie with some bug eyed monster. Giger's creation is something very special, at the same time horrifying and beautiful, a true work of art. I don't think I'm going to boycott the movie, but I'm sure afraid to see what kind of "creative" changes have those special effects nerds (Gillis & Woodruff) done to the creature. What I think is that if a movie called Alien 5 is ever made, the two great artists of their own fields, H.R.Giger and Ridley Scott should be reunited. Then we might see something that captures the unique atmosphere of the first Alien movie.

Comments: I think that it's only about now that things have changed with my relationship with the Alien Ressurrection movie, and I'm becoming more open to the ideas about the Alien designs in the movie, I'd like to see it again now. It's like seeing someone who has suddenly altered to such a great deal and then later you begin to recognise something about them that makes them seem familiar. I always loved it on the grounds of my love for Jeunet's work, and was upset that Giger had not been directly included and that they seeked to ignore the similarity between Giger's work on Alien and in the Necronomicon book, with what was going on in the latest Alien movie. I hope that some sort of amends are made by Fox by now, and this would make the biomechanoid sea of feelings a little calmer within me as they already seem to have been for the last week. I have started to find the Newborn has a symbolic meaning for me, if draw a little fat dwarf with a face like the Newborn's, I often find that minutes later I find out some very bad news. I think that I like the sculpture very much, I've seen photos of it without the lighting, and it looks much better. Several weeks ago, I didn't like it whatsoever, but I am trying to trace feelings about what Jeunet wanted for his movie, and I'm seeing things more clearly. All the eggs that seemed to me to be whispering anuses, and I think that I was thinking more about a budgerigar that my grandparents had that had a tumour in it's bowels before it died, they are beginning to return to spores with cross shaped vaginal openings with something else to whisper, and the sphincter in the centre of the Temple Passage inspired Vipers Nest will always be a spincter to enter the bowels of that hellish place. I am still bitter to some extent, I don't know what it is about, maybe it's the Alien Resurrection film's dialogue, or maybe because it's going to be quite a wait perhaps for Species 2 to come out.

Comments: When people ask me about what influences my art, I am proud to name H R Giger. Anyone who could create images so beautiful, yet at the same time so diabolically perverse has a gift way beyond normal artistic talent. The fact that the movie studio would rather credit their caterers than the one man who made the movie possible is sickening, but really shows how warped priorities have become in Hollywood. Movies are no longer about good directing, writing, or acting, but now serve only as vehicles for peoples' careers. I sympathize with Mr Giger, of course, but after seeing the Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection, I'd consider having my name removed from the project! The only saving grace was the creature effects. I just hope that one day people will look at my art, and get 1% of the reaction that I get from Giger's.

Comments: Hello again! I was here the other day when I realized that Giger's art was NOT referred in the credits of the movie Alien 4. It's Unbelievable!!!!!! This movie hasn't showed up in Portugal yet and so everybody is ignorant to this fact. I met Giger's fascinating world when I saw Alien for the first time over 10 years ago. It's absolutely evident that ALL Alien movies art comes with a taste of the Master/Father of transcendant worlds. It's obvious, after reading this comments from people around the world, that Giger deserves to get his credit as well as an apology from 20th Century Fox for we all know his work and there's no doubt that Alien could only come from his world. It's incredible, because it's not the first time these guys f*ck around with Giger's artistic mind. I think we all should "gather" and fill the 20thCF mailbox up to their balls with hate mail. They should be ashamed! And we're on a mission from hell! By the way, I won't see this movie and neither will you! Giger, Portugal supports you and loves you (in a weird kind of way, of course) :-)

What really sucks is that I always thought that 20th Century Fox was a pretty cool flim company; having released such great science-fiction franchises such as Star Wars, The Planet of the Apes, Predator;etc. Then I hear something like this has happened.

I discovered your work when Big O published Necronomicon back in 1978(?).I am appalled to discover your name is absent from the Alien4 credits - unlike any old typist working in the production office! I shall ensure everyone I speak to about said film is made aware of this fact. I've just finished an 18month contract with warner bro's, who wanted me to relocate to LA.I said 'no' because none of these big companies are to be trusted,and I hate their arrogance.

Personally I think we should hit Fox where it hurts the most, the pocketbook. Seems like a boycot of any Fox merchandise or movies (in particular Alien 4) should be in order until they learn that the creators behind their products and the fans that support them are what makes them and can break them.

Comments: Having read a piece in Computer Arts mag on this I cannot believe Fox can blatantly ignore the artists creativity and originality. The mention of the word alien(s), in everyday laguage use, is inextricably linked, subconsciously with the films, the image and with the creator. Whilst wholeheartedly supporting the artists right to recognition in whatever form I do find it even more sinister (than the Alien) in the way thaat Fox is also policing the www in relation to the X-Files. They seem to be employing people to "surf" and find X-File sites. An example of what happen s is here: http://www.fred.net/mulder/XFILES.html. There are many others. It does bring to mind Big Brother and another favourite film "Blade Runner" and the nefarious "Tyrell Corporation"!

Well good luck on this quest I hope Fox wakes up, it seems that Fox is much more of a scarier alien than the actual alien itself. They need to give credit where credit is due its obvious that the creatures in Alien Ressurection are of HR Giger conceptual design no matter who did the special effects or layout art for Alien Ressurection. Trust me as an artist that is the true Hell, to make something that is not a complete rip off from someone else. Thanks for my time on the soap box Chris

The shameful omission of your name in the credits should cost Fox dearly, though no amount of money could ever be compensation enough. Still, no matter what, do NOT let them get away with it!!!

Comments: Dear Mr. Giger, It is unfortunate how blind some major studios can be. It's always amazing to see how much denial there is, particularly where creative work is involved. It's not about dollars but about creativity, original design and thought which motivates the artist, one which you truly are, sans parallel. In fact, none of the other Aliens in Alien II to IV would be possible were it for your brilliant art and design, which is so evident in every frame that the Aliens and their living environment are shown in each of the referred movies. I hope Fox sees the light soon and gives you the much deserved credit. It's an absolute shame. With Regards, Krish

I felt sure that Giger would be given credit for Resurrection, as he had been so abused previously, but I was mistaken. This misuse of power is a travesty that must not be allowed to continue -- first Giger's ideas are stolen, then our own. I encourage anyone who reads this and the content of this page to write Fox and demand that Giger be given credit for his work; one voice can be ignored, but thousands cannot.

Like many ALIEN fans, we waited in the cinema until the final credit left the screen, waiting to see if we could hear a facehugger scurrying, as at the end of ALIENS, and watching for the name of our most admired artist. We were shocked that no recognition was paid to this brilliant man. As a student of Visual art, and a follower of arts law I am well aware of the legal implications this creates for fox and the understandable outrage H.R. Giger must be feeling. It is the most blatant display of disrespect and violation of the artists fundamental rights. We feel that this point should be fought until it is corrected and Giger is given the full credit that he deserves.

Fox is still the sneaky production company made up of the slimy creatures not even worthy of being called human or aliens,that were cast off from the more reputable production companies. Fox, time to get the research, marketing and public relations teams' collective ass in gear....they're gonna have to work major overtime to cover up this mess with your usual thin veneer of rose petal scent that covers the dog shit you really are. How dare you not give credit to the man who masterminded the creature you market so expertly. You should be ashamed, but I doubt you have that ability. The truly amusing thing is that the whole world knows who the creator/designer is....Fox even gave him credit before...so, all that has been done is that fox has made a laughinstok of itself one more....and behind the ughter is that certain sense thats is NOT a company deserving of the publics money, OR Deserving to work with those artisans, creators and dreamers that make that money roll in.

Comments: The Alien and the whole "culture" of the Aliens are the mental property of H. R. Giger. If Twentieth Century Fox uses this property, the less they can do, is to honor the artist for his creation by listing him in the credits. If not, it is just ordinary thieving. By the way, if the aliens in this quatrology would't be like they are, there would've never been more than the first Alien film, because without the brilliant work of H.R.Giger it would've been an SF-Thriller like a lot of others. Only this innovative way of creating an Alien with his special way of surviving and reproduction makes this films to something special.

Comments: I finally saw "Alien Resurrection", and let me start by saying it was one of the worse films I've seen in a long time (even worse than 5th element). It really was terrible (I considered walking out half-way through). Bluesky's stuff was nice, but there wasn't much of it. Better luck next time... (I was forced to "purge" myself afterward by watching Ridley Scott's version!) BTW -- how come French filmmakers always think they know what's best, and end up really screwing things up? I guess they think "artiste" ability is in their genes or something...

It was embarrasing enough that he was miscredited in the third one, but this is nothing but a scandal !!!! Alien without H.R. giger would be like Star Wars with Steven segal and Tracy lords! H.R. Giger IS Alien. The creator of all things biomechanical. I would like to say to Fox that I was utterly upset when I noticed that H.R. Giger was not credited in the opening credits for the film. But that was nothing like the anger that I felt when I realised that he wasn't even mentioned in the closing credits either! Nothing but a scandal. His name should be used in the advertising of the film, on all merchendise, everything! Best regards, -David Rossberg.

Comments: Alien: Resurrection was an excellent movie: exciting, terrifying, and a visual masterpiece. Once again I was thrilled to see more of Giger's paintings come to life. As the movie ended I expected nothing less than to see Giger's name as the first credit saying something like "The preceding images were brought to you from the mind of H.R. Giger". I patiently sat as all the credits rolled past becoming first amazed and eventually angry as I saw no reference to Giger. I do not deny that countless people contributed to the film (and an excellent job they did) but let's face it, what would the Alien movies be without Giger. One need's only the go to the sci-fi or horror section of the video store to see what a pathetic mess a monster movie can turn into without a believable and truly terrifying monster. It was the Alien movies that made me a Giger fan. Lets not deprive other movie fans of the opportunity to delve into the mind of a creator of nightmares by omitting Giger's name from the credits.

Comments: As outrageous as Fox's deliberate omission of Giger's name from the credits of A4 are, can any of us claim genuine surprise? I say "deliberate" because I don't believe for a second that they just "forgot" - it had to be a conscious choice on some executive's part. The assault on Art by All Things Corporate continues - we must kick, scream, shred and tear to show Them that, in fact, they CAN'T get away with it. What I AM surprised about is the fact that nobody is remarking on just how ridiculous the "Hybrid" alien in A4 is - never has Giger's touch been so painfully, obviously absent as in that gangly, milk-soaked chunk of foam latex!

BUT long before the movie (A4) was released to the cinemas, I saw an interview with HRG (I think it were the Schaumburger News) where he was asked about A4. In that interview HRG stated that he does not want to be connected to the movie in any form and that he thinks that the movie is only done to support the merchandising machine behind ALIEN. Keeping such statements in mind I was not surprised that FOX took out HRG`s credit.

Comments: I've been watching Giger's art and his way through media and especially Hollywood for several years now. Among all of his outstanding work, the creation of the "Alien" and its look was the real big hit. Nothing shows more clearly our threatening inner life than these creatures. One aspect of man's inner terror is greed and another is the slaveholder-mentality. You can find both in the behaviour of the Twentieth Century Fox. My suggestion to HR Giger: Try to do a movie with european money in european studios, even if it was more difficult and asking for hard struggle. Jean-Pierre Jeunet showed the varieties a european director can extract from Gigers genius. Greetings from Germany. I'm looking forward to the opening of the museum in 2000.

His work was properly credited in the first "Alien" but not at all adequatly in the second and third movie in the series. Now to find out that he was not even MENTIONED in the 4th movie is an outrage of the highest degree. It's sad that the movie studio has chosen a slight increase in profits (from failing to pay and credit Mr. Giger) over artistic integrity. I can only echo Mr. Giger's sentiments about the person(s) responsible for such a reprehensible act being suitable candidates for alien breeding media. William Rumsey, Buffalo NY.

Comments: Let me say first I have been a follower of your unique and visionary paintings ever since I stumbled across your "Necronomicon" in a little head-shop on San Diego's, Ocean Beach. I was immediately enthralled. All of your art bears your distinctive, often copied, but never duplicated stamp. Fox's decision to leave your name off of the credits is a atrocious decision. It is an arrogant abuse of power and I would assume illegal. It doesn't surprise me though. The entertainment industry has long standing tradition of pirating artist's work. They themselves must admit in their long, dark, intellectually vacant nights, that their Alien franchise, wouldn't even exist, if it wasn't for your original design. The first Alien movie was brilliant. The next three in a word -- sucked. The plots were silly and totally unbelievable. In a small way you should almost be relieved that they chose to leave your name off of the credits. To sum up, this is artistic piracy. The big companies are always worried about someone stealing their copyrights, but they have no qualms when it comes to stealing someone elses. It is a repugnant practice. You deserve your credit and all the rewards that come with it. As a fellow artist, I understand what it means to create something uniquely your own. Fox needs to put your credit for the design on the screen.

Comments: I myself was upset over Fox not giving Giger credit over Alien Resurrection. But it should be Giger who should thank Fox. Giger would never be as famous as he is today if it was not for the film "Alien" and its sequels. Yes, Fox is to blame for not giving Giger credit over the Alien Creature Design. But Giger should not be so harsh on Fox. Giger would not be working on films like "Species" and "Species II" if it was not for the Alien films. No, I would be upset if they totaly did away with Giger's creature design in favor for something else. They did that with the Newborn but I know Fox will never replace the orginal creature design. Maybe Giger forgot that his credit was seen throuhout the entire film. When I see the Alien, I know that Giger created it. Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff Jr. may do a superb job with the creature effects, but I know that the Alien creature design is pure Giger. My question to Giger is this: Why did you not scream at Fox and Stan Winston over the Alien creature design for the film "Aliens"? I mean, those Aliens looked quite a bit different from your original Alien creature design. And why not yell at Fox for not letting you give input into the creation of the Alien Hive for "Aliens"? Yes,I would be upset at Fox over not giving you a credit. But remember, you would not be where you are today if it was not for Fox creating the Alien Franchise.

I loved the movie, seeing it as a great improvement on the shaky storyline of Alien3, but watching the credits attentively, I didn't see the name of the original creator of this creature that has made so many people wealthy and famous... H.R. Giger. I thought I mustn't have been watching carefully enough, expecting for sure that it should have "original creature design" or something similar with H.R. Giger's name... but a few weeks later I saw the movie again with some friends and I made sure and was shocked at the exclusion! Now that I read the Alien Insurrection here I am disgusted that they could consider excluding his name.] I hope that this matter is somehow resolved and credit is given where credit is due!

HR Giger's art/design shows an imagination and creative depth seldom few on this planet express with such vigeours ongoing excellence. The film Alien has been revered by many as a work of art. I would agree. But whose work of art is it? The work of art that is Alien is indeed HR Giger's. The Academy Award thusly proves this to be true. The creatures and environments featured in the Aliens, Alien3 and Alien:Resurrection films are all siblings of HR Giger's original Alien designs, to which he deserves no less than full credit for. That 20th Century Fox would rather try to steal the creative brilliance of HR Giger instead of openly celebrating his talent with the appropriate credit where credit is due is a travesty. I implore all involved at 20th Century Fox to rectify this contemputous, underhanded theft of Mr Giger's creative rights immedieatly. - Mr Giger, may I heartly extend to you my very best wishes and sincere thanks for the immense pleasure your art/design has brought me over the years.

Without you, Mr. Giger, there would be no Alien films, or at least not to this degree of excellence. No cult classic. Just your painting (which are great I might add). Without the films, the world would not be able to see your Alien design and would truly miss out on a new visual experience. By far i see your Alien as being the most imaginable alien design ever created. I came to this site to look at your art, but I soon find out about the horrid plagrism FOX has done to you. It's inexcuseable and downright dirty. When Hicks and the surviors of the first battle with the Alien in Aliens, they learn about the plan Paul Rieser's Character was doing and I belive the line said by Lt. Ellen Ripley to Paul Rieser about the Alien fits this senario best "I don't know who is worse. You don't see them f**king each other over for a precentage." The FOX executives could learn alot from the Aliens they have stolen. Get 'em good, Giger!

It is because of his creation that it grips the senses as it does. And Fox should realise that. And give HRG the credit for it. This leaves a bad taste in the mouth. The foul stench of stupidity...

So das ,Fast Alle Künstler oder Ilustratoren," aber am meißten Film Designer", sich die Finger Blutig kopiert haben...und vor Neid schon zu Weit gegangen sind, "so weit" das sie schon so Tun als ob es ihr Alien wäre, und den echten Alien Schöpfer garnicht erst erwähnen,damit "sie" ja den Ruhm ernten, den "sie" sich leider "nicht" verdient haben!!! Seit ihr schon so weit gesunken...das ihr es schon nötig habt,nur weil ihr nicht in der Lage Seit, so etwas zu erschaffen...es zu Stehlen? Leider hat die Welt euch Erwischt!!.. da es kein anderer wie "H.R.GIGER" geschaft hätte, so ein Wesen in diesem Jarhundert oder besser Jahrtausend zu erschaffen!! Gebt jedem das was ihm gehört...und dieser Alien gehört "GIGER"..!! Sandro Falcone

Comments: I am very disappointed that a major Hollywood studio has so blatently stolen Mr. Giger's intellectual property, the images created were HR GIGER all the way. None of this work is original to the creator and I, as thousands of your fans, know this. Credit, as any artist knows, is better than flat out stealing the work. Although, I still wonder, why is a studio like FOX so reluctant to use GIGER's name as credit when it is due? Is there some type of money due? HR GIGER, you are one of the most fantastic artists that I have been glad to have become aquainted with your work. Keep your beautiful visions flowing, I will be visiting your part of the world this summer and cannot wait to see your GIGER BAR...a dream come true!

Comments: I would just like to give thanks to a creative person who likes to push the envelope a little farther. I am an avid student of yours and M.C. Escher's art. I am almost hesitant to say this because of the multiple attempts people have made to plagurize your works. I would be afraid that you would think me to be just another mindless and talentless nimrod who's just trying to copy your style. These fears I owe to Ridely Scott for his latest attempt to rob you of all due credit for your vivid creations. I can only imagine how this could make a person feel. I would, however, just like to remind you that your art goes beyond credit. Nobody who knows who you are and what you have done can possibley see that creature on the screen and think that it came from somebody else's mind. They must have just forgotten (don't ask me how) to put your name in the credits. They're just clowning theirselves by not doing so. I mean come on! Think about it! Do you honestly think Alien would have been a success without your designs?!?! I don't think so. It would have just been a really bad B-rated movie that people would only rent if all the new releases where already checked out. Look at it!!! It had no in-depth dialogue and the acting was to commercial. YOUR ART MADE THE FILM!!! Think of that when others try to take the credit for your labors. They just look infinitely more stupid to those that know the truth Believe me... those are the only people who's opinions matter. I'm sure your tired of all my clique advice so I will wrap this up. Don't quite sharing just because one person is stealing.

Comments: I am a Giger fan and have enjoyed his work, however I may not have found out about Mr. Giger or his work had it not been for the Aliens movies.... this is a fact. I have been reading the comments of fans writing about Giger's Aliens. I noticed that most people associate Mr. Gigers work with the Aliens movies. His work is clearly associated with the Alien and the original biomechanical style.... which is a both a curse and a blessing. I am certain that FOX will respond with " Hey, without us no one would know of Mr. Giger or his work..... we are doing him a favor, he should be thankful that we ever allowed him to work on OUR movie... without us he would not even be known.... blah blah and on and on" It seems that this is the attitude of FOX by the way they have treated Mr. Giger's work. However one question remains, would Mr. Giger have had the success without the Alien movies?

Comments: The incredible greed of the mega corporations is what's truly ironic in this scenario. In Alien Aliens and Alien3 the underlaying theme is the incredible greed of the corporation, Life imitating art imitating life. The execs at the film company are living up to the corporation presented in the first three installments of this, the most incredible sci- fi saga ever. Without Gigers designs all the movies would be utter garbage, like most science fiction movies are and all the credit in the entire Alien World goes to H.R. Giger in my opinion for his truly inspirational designs. The Newborn, in Alien Res, was an absolute disgrace in my opinion because it stole away from the concepts established by the first three films under Gigers influence. The two major influences for the Alien Saga are H.R. Gigers designs and of course Sigourney Weaver. If either one of these influences were missing the saga would DIE!!!!!!!!! So, in conclusion, I am deeply dismayed that the company is profitting off your work without giving you proper credit and will support your stand One Hundred percent and I also agree with you in saying that if this creature did exist no one deserves to be a host more than the greedy Corporate bastards responsible for this conspiracy. Thank You, A lifelong fan, Jason Bobko

Comments: Well hollywood has done it again... Blatantly ripping off and selling out a vision of artistic genius by firstly popularizing it, & then by refusing to give credit where its due. I had hoped that Alien4 would be one of the few US movies made past 1990 which possessed artistic merit and creativity, not just another forrest gump... Anyway, huge props go out to Giger for the twisted designs. I saw Aliens when I was 9 years old and I think it has disturbed me ever since...Good work.

I have seen Aliens and Poltergeist, Giger is the only reason they worked. Mr. Giger need not worry about the fans recognizing his artistry, just his rightful earnings and credits..He will be granted both. I have no doubt.

Comments: I wholeheartedly agree that the Alien belongs to H.R. Giger. The first of the Alien movies was almost all derived from H.R. Giger and was ultimately the best so far. The attempts to dilute the original idea have really been very benign and have not come close to replicating the visual feast that ALIEN was. I am a big Giger fan and wish him the best of luck in seeking recognition for the Alien design. It is without doubt Giger's work and inspiration and it makes me quite angry that they are refusing to recognise this. Perhaps some high profile publicity is needed if they continue to deny recognition to the artist.

Comments: I really sympathise with H.R.Giger. he has become known as the man behind the Alien creation of the modern world. I don't think that it is fair or just that he is given the due credit he deserves. I just came into position of the fist three Alien movies and only on the third on the film box is he given credit for the Alien design. In the first two Giger's name doesn't appear once on the box or in the credits. Or at least that I have seen and I just finished watching the first two movies. All I have to say is to give credit where the credit is due. The whole Alien design is Gigers creation from his own mind and Hollywood has taken and made it into a huge market. I don't blame them for that because it gives the mass public a tatse of the work of the modern day surrealist genius. I think though that they have to give him the proper credit that is due him.

Comments: 20th Century Fox have done a baaad thing! I myself woudn't dare mess with a diabolical genius like Mr. Giger.I really hope ripping him off will backfire on them somehow, but hopefully not at the cost of the series. Speaking of the films, RESSURECTION is great! Period. I think the specific strengths of each of the four movies are even more enhanced by comparing them to the others in the series. Each episode is genuinely unique in style, vision and therefore, in contrast, complements the others in quality. Anyway... enough of my opinion on that. I must admit that I'm a little bit worried about Alien 5ive (if there ever is one, off course!) with the studio pulling that dirty trick on Giger. I think that if Fox doesn't handle it's 'adopted' (or 'kidnapped') baby and creator with respect, the upcoming films might take a turn for the worse. Let's all hope for the best.

The whole film had a distinct quality that I have seen only in works by Mr Giger. H.R.Giger is, and will remain, an inspiration to artists the world over. It heartens me that he has acheived the success he has given the uniqueness of his vision.

Comments: I did not hear of this incident until I visited one of the ALIEN websites. It stated that HR Giger's name was not on the ending credits of the film, "Alien Resurrection". Despite my buddies grumbling on how the film was dull, I thought it was excellent, and that I knew that all of this was made possile by Mr. Giger, himself, and no one else. Therefore, I feel that his name should have been put on the credits since he probably does own (and rightfully should own) the sole copyright to the design of the xenomorph, and that Mr. Giger should have most of the credit in this fourth installment of the ALIEN saga, not solely the director, the cast, or anyone else in the film. I feel great dissapointment and discouragement in 20th Century Fox for the great injustice done to HR Giger, and the fact that 20th Century Fox is now trying to seize this design for themselves in a very selfish manner. Scott and Cameron were both aware of the Credit that Mr. Giger deserved, however, the director of "Alien Resurrection" and the staff at 20th Century Fox do not, and it gives Hollywood as well as Fox, a bad name. I think that others who read this would agree. I give all my simpathies to Mr. Giger, and I wish him the best of luck. I, myself, am a die-hard ALIENS fan from when I even first heard of the film and Giger's work (Including ALIENS the movie, and a ton of their comics), and I am really astonished by Giger's work. I think this is the best website that I have come across.

How soon we forget,.is this not the same artisan who gave us a wall of bio-mechanical infants? All grey, pustulant, airbrushed and unholy? Of phallus, and other symbolistic art? Is this not the same artist and wife team who shied away from the Beast when represented in accurate airbrush form? To the material producers of the most recent production, to those who do not reconise the genius,(take a bow you studio coc......s, 'Burke, Carter.J.')...within everyman lies the darkness,..Giger will encapsulate yours,...eternally!

I went to this website expecting to at least see a hint or brief mention of HR Giger. To my surprise and disgust there was no mention of his name. The greedy capitalist fucks who produced this film probably figured that they might have to shell out some money if it gave credit to Giger. This form of discredit and blatant plagarism of an artists work is not surprising to me, however. It is only a sick reminder of many of the things that happen such as this in the world today. On top of the wish for an alien form to burst out of thier dishonest chests, I will also hope for them to be sodomized with a large spiked object! You are still one of the greatest artist alive today Giger, and I wish you much great inspiration in your times to come. -Stephanie

You have credit in nearly all of the creatures seen in the movies made after the first Alien movie. All those inferior movies -and even some good ones- are crawling with clones of Alien - and not only the mature form of Alien but also the other forms of its life-cycle. After the first Alien apparition, not a single soul managed to come up with a fresh design. We, here, know who "da man" is.

The climax of the film was such a let down. The new monster is a silly perversion. I am sorry I contributed money to this dreck. Have you seen Harry Knowles review of this? Go to www.aint-it-cool.com and read how Harry told the producer at the Primere party about the same thing. About H.R. Giger's art: When I first saw it (in Penthouse and the orginial Alien movie), I was distrubed and repulsed. But also intrigued. It grew on me, and taught me about the Dark Side of our Human Nature. As Tim Leary said, "Anything that disorients you is a learning experience." And now I am experienced. During the presidental campaign, I confront then Sentator Al Gore with the Dead Kennedy's Frankchrist record. Jello Biafa was arrested for distrubing "obsenity:, i. e. a work of H.R. Giger. The Sentator and his wife was making a lot of noise with the "Parent's Music Resouce Center" and contribution to a climate of censorship and persucution of artists and their work. I was arrested for my trouble, a minor little charge of Disorder Conduct which was dropped. They just want me our of the way so that they could continue their show, to neurolinguistly program the Pinks into submission. A small thing, but I am proud to make this small contribution for Freedom. Peace, Tangent Z of Austin
