Wow, I don't know what to say. This just makes me very sad today. Will have to throw in some of my favorites from him this week.

So maybe some of you don't know who this guy is.... Just a few of his "little" movies:

IRON MAN (armor, effects)
Jurassic Park (all) (dinosaurs)
Aliens (Aliens, face huggers, environments, effects)
Terminator 1 & 2 (Terminators, effects)
The Thing (creatures)
Edward Scissorhands (Edward)
Interview With the Vampire (vampire effects)
A.I. (robotics)
Constantine (creatures)
Big Fish (characters)
Predator 1 & 2 (Predator)
Galaxy Quest (creatures, characters)
Small Soldiers (all of the toys)
The Relic (creature)
The Ghost and the Darkness (Lion effects)
Tank Girl (characters, robotics)
Pumpkinhead (creature)
Darkness Falls (creature)

Sadly, he was also working on the upcoming new Terminator trilogy (starring Christian Bale as John Conner) which is currently filming, as well as Jurassic Park 4.

Wow this guy had an amazing career. I guess he will be missed in his circles.

Bummer. I hadn't heard this.

Man, I remember a period of time where EVERY movie out that had monsters in it had Stan Winston's name on it.
