I came across this website and it reminded me of all the old stop-action monster movies this guy made!

You can download one of his early shorts (Mother Goose) here:

Great site.

Mighty Joe Young memories...
My heart was in my throat when joe was climbing that flaming tree. I closed my eyes, plugged my ears and missed the crash to the ground. sad.gif

And of course part of his work turns up in The Killers Video, Bones. Personally the one used, Jason and the Argonauts, is the film that springs to mind whenever I think of Ray Harryhausen.

Sandyman - loved the Killers' video even though I expected what happened just as soon as I saw the lovers on the beach!  Funny!
