H.R. Giger's Will Stipulates the Creepiest Fucking Coffin Possible

Design genius H.R. Giger has died at age 74, after sustaining injuries in a fall. A spokesman for Giger's family told Deathwatch that, in addition to being horribly saddened by his demise, their woes are compounded by Giger's request, stipulated in his will, that he be buried in "something that looks like a goat anally violating the Pope."

Giger apparently left some preliminary sketches for his coffin, but the family is considering burning them because they "gave us fucking horrendous nightmares."

One of the premiere surrealist artists of the modern era, the Swiss Giger is best known to Americans as the designer of the creature in the Alien movies. His instantly recognizable aesthetic helped lend the film series its otherworldly look, in addition to creeping most people the hell out.

Giger's work will live on, especially as posters in the dorm rooms of college guys who don't understand why women won't sleep with them.
