Ray Harryhausen
Found this fantastic link to small sample movies of Ray Harryhausen’s creatures. Apparently it’s an exhaustive list.
Mr. Harryhausen was one of my biggest influences in my love of myth and storytelling… I can’t imagine who I’d be if I hadn’t seen Clash of the Titans when I was wee. All the fantastic creatures this guy brought to life (Medusa! Pegasus! And, yeah, okay, even the damn owl!) made a big, big footprint in my brain.
