Yeah, the skeletons terrified me!
I had the honor of giving Ray and his producer a ride to the theater to see the first Star Wars movie. I was friends with a convention organizer and his car was in the shop so we all crammed into my little Chevette. Ray and his producer ragged on the entire movie and couldn't see the appeal of Harrison Ford. He told me to wait and see his new star and how much better his next movie was going to be than this 'space western'. Sadly Harry Hamlin and Clash of the Titans didn't measure up to the popularity of Star Wars, but I guess having a healthy ego in Hollywood is a must. However he was very nice to me and to my baby brother who came with us and it was an evening I'll never forget. He was so talented and his films are a wonderful legacy.
Rest in Peace.

If Medusa creeped you out then his job was done.
I haven't seen Clash in years, I know I saw it as a kid and wanted a Pegasus for my dolls to ride. The last thing I saw was Sinbad with Tom Baker. I think I remember hearing the dances and stuff in Tom Thumb were shot live action first because it was easier to work the stop motion in after.
