Today marks the 45th anniversary of Gary Sherman's "Dead & Buried."
In 1981, producer Ronald Shusett hired Stan Winston to create special effects for a bizarre horror film, Dead & Buried. In a small coastal town, after a series of gory murders committed by mobs of townspeople against visiting tourists, the corpses begin to come back to life.
Dead & Buried contains some of the most startling effects done in 1981. "I've developed some things that no one's ever seen before, and I'm very proud of the work I did," said Stan Winston. Among the highlight effects in Dan O'Bannon's story, a severed arm comes to life; a woman's face is restored from crushed bone and shredded sinew back to its normal attractive state; and there's a lot of rotting flesh. The effects in Dead & Buried are a result of combining everything Stan Winston had learned up that point.

Today is the 38th anniversary of Graham Baker's Alien Nation.
Having done two shows with Gale Anne Hurd — The Terminator and Aliens — Stan Winston Studio was the logical choice of facility when the producer needed alien designs for Alien Nation, a 1988 film directed by Graham Baker. The film is set in 1991, a few years after an off-course alien spaceship has landed on Earth, depositing 300,000 bulbous-headed aliens, called 'newcomers', a specially bred slave race that attempts to integrate into human society. The film was an obvious metaphor for race relations and a plea for tolerance.
If Predator had been a challenge of time, Alien Nation was one of volume, since newcomers would comprise half the film's population, including a number of principal characters. Not since Planet of the Apes (1968), nearly twenty years earlier, had there been an occasion to create so many makeups; and it was certainly the first time that Stan Winston Studio had been called upon to do so. The difference was that, where John Chambers had been afforded a year, Stan Winston and his crew had only six months in which to design, build and deliver hundreds of makeup appliances.
