See how Stan Winston Studio created the Martian characters for Tobe Hooper's remake of Invaders from Mars.

Upon joining the Aliens production, Stan Winston expanded his studio crew to forty to accommodate the show’s many creature effects, and those for an overlapping project, Invaders From Mars, the 1986 remake of William Cameron Menzies’ 1953 film, directed by Tobe Hooper, which he had committed to previously. The movie concerns the invasion of a town by aliens who take over the minds of the townspeople and the boy who tries to stop them.

Inspired by the alien queen concept for Aliens, Stan Winston was eager to explore other ways in which putting two performers in a suit could disguise the human anatomy underlying a creature design. “I wanted to create an alien invader that didn’t look like a guy in a suit,” said Stan Winston. “So I came up with this idea of putting a little person on the back of a big guy who would stand and walk backward.”
