How did this inspire the unbridled creepfest that was Giygas, exactly? I mean... that last boss fight against Giygas STILL creeps me out, a little bit.
Also - How does everyone here pronounce Giygas? I've always gone for Gygax - only with an S at the end, but I've got the sneaking suspicion that I'm wrong....
According to my sources, the scenario writer (as a young man) walked in on this scene and thought she was being raped -- and his imagination magnified and worsened the scene.
Plus I think he was very young at the time -- under 10 maybe? I'm sure there are movie scenes that really freaked you out at that age that would just look hokey to you now.
Well, considering that Giygus is an alien, he's probably into anal probing. So I figure it's pronounced "Gig-Us" as a play on words for what he's going to do to the human race.
