R.I.P. Dan O'Bannon

December 18, 2009
We're saddened today to learn of the passing of Dan O'Bannon. No stranger to sci-fi or horror fans, he'd penned the screenplays for the original Alien, John Carpenter's debut feature Dark Star, Gary Sherman's Dead & Buried, Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce and Invaders From Mars and one of our personal favorite zombie movies Return Of The Living Dead, which he also directed.
We recommend you head over to his imdb credits right here, familiarize yourself with his work and celebrate it by revisiting those movies and incredible contributions to our beloved genre by a fellow fan. He will be missed.

Return was one of my favs as a kid in the 80's and to hear someone pass on at a young age is sad. He will be missed. R.I.P

Watch the behind-the-scenes of the first Alien (from the quadrilogy box set) to see this guy in action. A true character. He is indeed the heart of Alien. He will be missed!

RIP
INVADERS FROM MARS is probably one of my personal favorite remakes, and LIFEFORCE is an underrated vampire flick. Also, you gotta love RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD.

Return of the Living Dead was genius. Dan O'Bannon was genius. This is just a damn shame. A truly great talent lost too early. We love you Dan!
