In this video, we explore how the Facehugger from “Alien” was created, from its concept to the final model. First, we’ll explain how H.R. Giger got involved in the project. Dan O’Bannon, the “Alien” screenwriter, met Giger while working on Alejandro Jodorowsky’s failed “Dune” adaptation. O’Bannon convinced the producers to hire Giger to design the creatures for “Alien.” We’ll follow Giger’s journey, highlighting his struggles and creative process. Despite challenges and disagreements, Giger’s unique vision brought the terrifying Facehugger to life.
