  The movie was based on Gigers book Necronomicon, published in 1977, which was the inspiration for the film. The alien creature evolved from Gigers painting Necronom IV.

    I watched an animal show that showcased the Deadly Dozen"(creatures in Indonesia). One of those was the Moray Eel. It turns out that Morays have TWO jaws(main jaw holds the prey while the secondary "shoots-in" for the kill). Coincidence?

      Yep. there are about five elements from which Gieger draws upon. If it is in a Geiger painting it is most likely a penis, a vagina, an anus, a dead baby, a condum or some sort of industrial grid. His paintings mostly consist of any and every possible entanglement of those elements imaginable and unthinkable.
