What originally happened to H.R. Giger’s initial conceptual designs for the “face-hugger” creature in the 1979 film “Alien?” If you know that the answer is that they were seized by U.S. Customs, then you should head over to the Halloween Catalog Trivia challenge and use your horror trivia brilliance to unlock the fun special video footage.

The films covered include Child’s Play, 28 Weeks Later, The Hills Have Eyes, Pumpkinhead, Jeepers Creepers, The Omen, Misery, Turistas, Hannibal, and the classic Alien.

I always felt like H. R. Giger just knew how to make really great-looking alien monster people-eater terrifying kind of art. He has fallen afoul of the law a lot though. Most Blue Blood readers probably know that H. R. Geiger’s artwork was the center of the controversy over distribution of The Dead Kennedys’ album Frankenchrist.

Everyone ready for Halloween?

Jeepers Creepers is one of a whole bunch of movies which are now available on the iTunes platform. When the Jeepers Creepers movies came out, I really did not find them scary, but the monster was really incredibly fantastic. It looked like the goth version of Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. Other favorite MGM movies which are now available on iTunes include Ronin, Unsual Suspects, Spinal Tap, Casino Royale, Mad Max, Poltergeist, and the classic Hang ‘Em High and Last Tango in Paris.
