Stan Winston - RIP

I know this is supposed to be a horror review page, but this needs to be written about.

Stan Winston passed away on June 15th, at the age of 62. He was the effects wizard behind films such as the "Jurassic Park" series, "Edward Scissorhands", "Aliens", the "Terminator" series, the "Predator" series, John Carpenter's "The Thing", "Pumpkinhead", "Dead and Buried", "The Monster Squad", and countless other films.

A pioneer in his field, he will forever be an inspiration to anyone in the field of practical effects. He, and his genius, will surely be missed by all.

Rest in peace, Mr. Winston, and know that you have obtained immortality through your brilliance. We haven't lost an artist, we have gained a legend.
