SFX SOS

What is one thing that “Aliens,” “Iron Man,” “The Terminator” and “Jurassic Park” have in common? No, not James Cameron. No, not scary monsters. No, not metallic men.

The correct answer is special effects wizard Stan Winston, who died yesterday. Winston worked on these movies and many more in his decades-long career. He was an effects pioneer — his creations were the stuff of dreams and nightmares, and though his studios will likely carry on, he will be missed.

    Winston created some of the best, most innovative special effects of this era of film.

    He will be sorely missed, especially by movie fans like myself.
