Today we said goodbye to the man who is – in my view – responsible for the special effects industry as it is today. Without Ray Harryhausen the movies would not be the thrill they are. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, none of these series, or any others like them would have been around if not for the work of this affects genius.
A legend in every sense of the word, and he will be sorely missed by us all.
Sinbad, Clash of the Titans, these are movies that I will watch every time they are on TV. The years have passed, the movies themselves have become dated, but you cannot help by become enthralled in the story, and I still find myself stunned by the special effects, and masterful creatures that were so lovingly created.
Goodbye Mr. Harryhausen!

He will be missed!
He certainly will.
He was one of my favorites. Clash of the Titans and Jason and the Argonauts are two of my all time favorite movies.
They are great films. I could watch them again and again.
Definitely. We have Titans on DVD and I’m hoping to get Jason at some point. There’s something about the stop motion that’s mesmerizing. lol
There really is, I think it is better than any Michael Bay blue screen cop out any day of the week
truly sad… didnt know this… day pretty much shot
It was sad news to wake up to
A well respected craftsman in the sci-fi and horror communities. I’m glad he finally recieved Lifetime Achievment Awards from the Academy Awards, many years after his hey-day. They were long over do.
Didn’t know he died until I read this. Yes, a true master before the industry had anywhere near the respect it does now.
