While i super imposed two art peices found here:

and here:

I found out that it looks identical to this, the original concept design (i imagine this as the original story of alien before it got edited):

William Malone was very inspired by Giger and even commissioned concept work from him for a script that would, somehow, end up becoming Supernova.
His movie Creature/The Titan Find also features a very Alien-inspired monster.
He did a sequel to Scared To Death which had almost nothing to do with the original except it featured the Syngenors.
William Malone definitely has connections.
The sequel, Syngenor, is surreal kino of the highest order.

Sander Cohen, is that you?
Back in Feburary, March, Scared To Death scored a novelization from Extinction Press. Courtesy of horror author ,Matt Serafini(Feral, Ocean Grave, Island Red) in case your interested. Fills in a few blanks left open in the final film. Also has some behind the scenes photos from Scared To Death's production.

was originally named 'Dead Star', to boot. Who wouldn't wanna see that
Reading about that in Ginger's Film Design made me sad.

Have you read it? How would you rate it? I thought the movie was alright but could definitely have benefited from a polish.

Pretty good. Serafini's adaptation of Malone's film does indeed fill some of the flick's flaws. The ending, which was one of my main hang ups of final flick. Also the book gets more into the cabal that funded the creation of the Synegor. And the even got into the mind, and thinking of the Synegor. All around pretty good. Extinction Press also has put out a novelization of
THE TITAN FIND as well in case your interested.
I am definitely interested in an adaptation of The Titan Find. Will probably like that much more as a book.
Beautiful art as always from Giger.
