Happy Birthday to the master of biomechanical surrealism, H.R. Giger! If anyone knows how to throw an out-of-this-world party filled with delightful nightmares and cake that's part mechanical creature—it's you! Thanks to your iconic Alien creature and stunning set designs, we've been happily avoiding dark spaceship corridors since 1979.Congratulations on your well-deserved induction into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2013—proof that your captivating (and terrifying) artistry remains unmatched. May your birthday be as legendary as your creations—and please remember, if an egg-shaped gift starts opening unexpectedly… run quickly from the cake table!
