I think that a topic in memory of this fantastic man, passed one day ago, who was three times Oscar winner for King Kong, Alien and E.T. is something I wanted to share with all of you!

A legendary special effects man...I first became aware of his talent in 1973 when I went to see Paul Morrissey's Frankenstein, in excellent "spacevision" 3-D! [Smile]

Hi Flavio, yes, he did special effects and did have on screen credit for his work on Andy Warhol's Frankenstein a.k.a. Flesh for Frankenstein; which was directed by Paul Morrissey. He also did the special effects for Mario Mancini's 1972 film Frankenstein 80.

Great man.

So often a feature is credited to the director. These threads help me get to know more names associated with the movies.
