Ray Harryhausen passed away yesterday. We lost somebody would could bring fantastical creatures to life with his fingertips.
Spotted on Twitter, this amazing GIF — pulled from British documentary Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan — shows the master making a skeleton move. It’s freakin’ magic. Magic, I tell you.

awesome 🙂
Is that a Skeleton from Army of Darkness? Sure looks like it.
Possibly Jason & the Argonauts.
Even better.
AOD based its skeletons on Jason & the Argonauts. BTW AOD Spoiler: It’s the best film ever!
What a free spirit. I remember in an interview he said his parents were supportive of his career choice from his youth.
Many of his films rest on my shelf. I would highly recommend the Sinbad movies which you can get in a three pack.
A legend in every sense of the word!
