I love my monster movies.  I especially like the vintage ones. They just have something about them. I know they don’t look real like the CG ones we have now, but they have a draw all their own.

Ray Harryhausen set the standard for special effects, using stop-motion animation to give a distinctive look to his terrifying monsters.

Check out this amazing video of his accomplishments! I have seen every one of these. Some of them still creep me out!

My all time favorite is Valley of the Gwangi. Have you seen it. I remember this one so well. I loved the miniature horse. Couldn’t find a video of it, but check out this video. I love it!
