Once upon a time monsters swam the seas, stalked the skies, and roamed the streets, smashing buildings, vehicles and humans who got in the way. It all took place at the movie houses, though. Adults were entertained, and children were frightened as those monsters graced the silver screen back in the day.
Long before computer generated imagery, there was Ray Harryhausen molding miniature monsters for stop motion animations. He had sword fighting skeletons, creatures from the deep, and giant prehistoric reptiles battling humans to the death.
It's a wonder humankind survived that turbulent period. And in memory of those historic battles to rule the earth, someone has put together a nice collection of Harryhausen monsters in this video. Youtube link.
Pretty simple by today's standards, but still entertaining.
