Sad news: Special effects genius Stan Winston has passed away

Hasn’t broken in the national press yet, but AICN is reporting that Stan Winston has passed away. Winston was a genius in the field of motion picture special effects and creature design, and he has many many films to his credit, though I’d venture to say his best known work is the designs for the Terminator, Jurassic Park, Aliens and Predator. Rest in Peace.

UPDATE: Ain’t It Cool is soliciting and posting tributes from Winston’s peers and collaborators, including James Cameron, Joe Dante, Rick Baker and more. Read all them here.
