Stan Winston RIP

The LA Times reports that legendary makeup and special effects man Stan Winston has died at 62. He was one of the best to be sure, having worked on Predator, Aliens, Edward Scissorhands, and countless others. He also worked on John Carpenter's The Thing, which was featured in the Wired article on coolest movie metamorphoses I wrote about just yesterday.

I'd hate to be the mortician who has to apply Stan Winston's makeup before the memorial. I'd be worried that his ghost would be hanging over my shoulder making note of everything I'm doing wrong.
