In my experience, Giger has gone from a pronoun to also being accepted
as an adjective.
whats his style? Its Giger-esque.
Though Bernard is right about there being a certain industrial element.
I'd also point to a juxtaposition of organic elements. And often the
juxtaposition points to a certain perversion of the organic form by the
industrial (or perhaps we just automatically interpret it as
perverse?). Hence its particularly well suited to the horror genre
which often uses the perversion (both industrial and magical) of flesh,
organic forms and natural states as a source of fear. i.e.
Frankenstein. i.e. Dracula. i.e. zombies.
