The creature effects for the surreal scifi/horror flick Xtro (1982) were handled by Francis Coates and Richard Gregory. Thei work included the crab-walking creature (Tim Dry - one half of the mime musician duo Tik & Tok - in a rubber suit), the skeletal final creature (a puppet) and several prosthetic makeups for the transformations. Coates had been to this point a sculptor for both the BBC and the White Horse Toy Company - his earlier monster-making duties had been helping make monsters for Doctor Who, and the R2-D2 suits for The Empire Strikes Back. Richard Gregory ran the freelance firm Imagineering - that also worked plenty on Doctor Who - and later provided animatronic masks for Gerry Anderson's Space Precinct. Coates confided to me in an interview that his monster work on Xtro - partly based on sketches by production designer Christopher Hobb - was his 'rebellion against constant Doctor Who monsters that were just men in silly hats'!
You can actually read the interview here (providing Tumblr doesnt shadowban me for it) where Coates work on several films - ranging from The Neverending Story to The Mission - is highlighted! https://monstersonscreen.blogspot.com/2024/09/francis-coates-interview.html

[Image description: A digital painting based on the film Xtro. It depicts Sam in his alien form, eyes vacant and maw gaping. He's coloured mostly with yellow, brown, and grey tones. Purple peaks through. He has light blue rim lighting. The background resembles a night sky, though the colours are more vibrant. The blues and purples (with some hints of red and grey) are blended together with a scratchy colouring method. There's some light blue stars in the sky. Above that, there's green outlines over the stars which are warped and distorted. At some points in the line, it transitions to a cyan colour. The piece is quite blocky and textured in its colouring.]

Xtro (1982) is one of those movies. Either you love it… or you say, “WTF?” Or maybe both! Luckily, the 80s Grue-Crew are joined by guest host Dirk Rogers, an Xtro fan, to help sort out the mess and to point out why he likes it so much. It took a while for the crew to get the finer points, so you’ll have to check out the episode to see if any of Dirk’s teachings sink in.
The film depicts an alien impregnating human women with a “plunger” appendage and giving an eleven-year-old boy the power to bring anything he can imagine into reality. How could one expect anything but a five-ring circus?
At the time of this writing, Xtro is available on physical media as an all-region import Blu-ray formatted disc from Second Sight Films.
Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Bill, will be Death Ship (1980)! Co-written by Jack Hill (Spider Baby or, The Maddest Story Ever Told; 1967) and starring George Kennedy, Richard Crenna, Nick Mancuso, Sally Ann Howes, Kate Reid, and Victoria Burgoyne. Yo, baby!
Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans – so leave them a message or comment on the Gruesome Magazine Youtube channel, on the Gruesome Magazine website, or email the Decades of Horror 1980s podcast hosts at [email protected].
