O'Bannon had a hand in some of the best horror films of all time, from writing Alien to writing and directing Return of the Living Dead, not to mention some lesser-known but no less enjoyable flicks like Lifeforce and Dead & Buried. I haven't watched that last film in a while- think it'll make a nice tribute tonight.

RIP Dan O'Bannon
I'm not usually one to do obituary-type posts here (those are best left to the folks who excel at 'em, namely Arbogast and Amanda by Night), but I wanted to not the passing of the great Dan O'Bannon, much too soon at the age of 63.

Not to be too cheeky in an RIP post, but as an aside...there have been a lot of boobs on FG this week.
ReplyDeleteShame about Mr. O'Bannon, though -if anything- I'm tempted to venture that he'd wholeheartedly approve of the boobs.
ReplyDeleteJust posted my own tribute. I went to college with O'Bannon's cousin, and always hoped I'd get to meet to meet him some day. A great loss to to genre cinema.
