Stan Winston’s Monsters

If there's anything Winston will probably be remembered for most, it's the characteristic look of his monsters. Heads stretching off bodies on strangely distended necks, eyeballs dissected out or removed, and the mouths — the creepiest mouths you've ever seen. There's the double-mouthed alien, of course; but then there are the countless other bizarre mouths like the one on Predator (freaky slanty teeth hello), and the ones in The Thing (possibly Winston's most amazing tour de force) that fight their fanged way out of ordinary human faces to create a shocking mess of human and horror. And who could forget the massive toothy face of that T-Rex in Jurassic Park? Holy freakin crap.
