Concept art by H.R. Giger and William Malone for the latter’s unmade movie, DEAD STAR (1992).
William Malone: “In 1992, I was asked to develop a Sci-Fi project for Imperial Entertainment. I came up with a script called Dead Star. The story revolves around the finding of the “Thanatron”, a device conceived on a planet in deep space called Daveros. The huge machine (designed by Giger and standing some thirty feet high) was designed as the ultimate machine in the domain of death. It was capable of reanimating the living and opening a gate to the world of the dead (specifically Hell). Over-eager astronauts set the corrosive (to the mind) machine into motion and unwittingly release Satan aboard the ship.”
