    A moment of silence from the guy that made some of the best movies seem more real.....

    NO! FUCK NO! THIS ISN'T REAL!!!!

    Seriously, I just mentioned him as doing the fx on Monster Squad. The guy was the best, he created more iconic practical creatures than anyone. His loss just destroys me. Wow, this a huge one people. I don't know what else to say...

    Reporter: "Is Ringo Starr the best drummer in the world?"
    John Lennon: "Ringo isn't even the best drummer in The Beatles."

    Forget it Viet, it's Hockentown. - Russ

    Lord Hocken's gaze was that of the Green Horned Mindraper.

      Exactly. Who is going to take his torch and run with it? I can't think of anybody...

        KNB does some great work, but nothing compares to what Stan Winston had done. He is the very definition of the word "legend".

          Well I know K.N.B. and WETA, but no one person in particular like Stan.

              Terminator, Aliens, Jurassic Park, Galaxy Quest, Monster Squad, A.I., Predator, Pumpkinhead, Small Soldiers, Iron Man, like a million more. I'm actually sad. This guy was a god in SFX work.
