HR Giger: Alien Monster II (work 407) (1978) references photo of Louis Jourdan as Count Dracula?


leading from



a) References a photo of Louis Jourdan from The Radio Times (December 1977) publicising Dracula? 

Looking at Graeme Wood's page (https://twitter.com/woodg31) on Twitter, I encountered a Radio Times page from 1977 that  I suddenly realised that it would have been of interest for Giger to use it, especially because the character Dracula being portrayed. Archways and columns liberally transformed into the heads and bodies of large creepy crawlies. The are various elements to consider such as limbs of mist being transformed into biomechanic structures and it's not easy to be certain what is what there.





b) The right arm and head of the central figure Louis Jourdan as Dracula transforms into a creepy crawly. The bottom of his robe transforms into a separate one as well.



c) The top of the architecture on the upper left becomes a limb of one of these creatures. 





d) Arches of the ruins and their biomechanic counterparts.



e) two small arches that become the head of this entity




f)  Arch that becomes another bottle like creeping creature.


g) Archway becomes the lower body of the creature and the space above the  arch becomes the head of the creature, admittedly with little interest in trying to accurately translate the shape.
