I must have heard that story about the bones from 3 different people on the production (Brian Johnson, Ivor Powell and Terry Rawlings) so it was a definite must to ask. Some said that the bones were exhibited on his wall in the living room, and another mentioned that they were nailed to the beams on the ceiling. It was a total surprise to Giger and as he doesn't have internet access or follow up any news of 'Alien' he was taken aback by the comment. |

That's awesome. He didn't seem to quite answer where the bones exactly came from tough.  EDIT: By the way I loved it when you asked him what he thought of the designs in the sequels and he answered with something like "Well, I won an Oscar for it, so I don't get why they changed it." At least he's happy to be recognized and associated with it. That pleases me. |

As far as he is concerned the Alien film is history but he seems to be fighting for recognition in his other areas of creativity. |

Well he didn't have his late girlfriend Li's bones but he had someone else's. I thought he looked amused by the extremeness of the idea

That's too bad, because Alien is but a speck of brightness in his career whereas his creativity has mostly been devoted to his paintings. Kind of reminds me of Sebastian Shaw from Return of the Jedi. The guy had been in films since the 1930s and he plays Darth Vader for 2 minutes and gets more fan mail then he ever did in his life. |

Ha that was awesome, asking him about the bones. As for the skull in the Alien I had a very detailed dream about that skull. It was very odd it involved the cast of Good Fellows and it was explaining who the skull came from...
Basically by the end of the dream it was revealed that the skull was the head of Henry Hill's wife..LOL Very long explanation for how that came to be....
Got my disc this weekend, thank you so much Dennis!

I never really believed that he did have Li's bones. That rumour seemed too dark and extreme! I think that the human skull in the original alien came from a medical supply house. Read The Book of Alien again, it makes a mention of Giger's request for bones, and the production team's efforts to bring truckloads of bones from multiple locations, including medical supply houses (obviously where all of the human bones came from). Probably where all of his other skulls come from also.
