Was that weird monster thing part of the space guild?

It's basically what happens to a human that consumes and breathes too much spice for decade and decades. It's a mutation of a person.

And Yes... from what little I know of Dune books, it was quite an accurate depiction of the Spacing Guild Navigators.

I watched Lynch's version right after seeing Dune 2 and I must say, I think his version is more True to the story than the new ones. He was just so constrained on time, he got fricked in the second and third act.

The effects and art direction though, are simply stunning 40 years later.

That movie gets way too much shite in hindsight. It was just too weird compared to Star Wars, which was at its apex in the early 80s.
