Presented in this weeklong post are many photos showing the amazing talents of fantasy stop motion animator, Ray Harryhausen.


Clash Of The Titans











The last film to display Ray Harryhausen's imaginative and fantastic talent, Clash Of The Titans is certainly one of his best. Drawing from the strange beasts of Greek Mythology and partly from Norwegian Mythos as with the Kraken, the film is full of bizarre creatures. The scene near the end with the Medusa is one of my favorites out of all the Harryhausen movies.

If you're interested in seeing more artwork by Harryhausen you should check out a book that was recently released available at amazon.
