This was wonderfully done. I too am a huge fan of Rays' work. I've always loved monster movies ever since childhood and Harryhausen was a master. I don't think there will ever be another like him.

I STILL enjoy his work!  I will not STOP! R.I.P. Mr Harryhausen Peace OT

Excellent writing, very moving. Echos my childhood - thank you!

[Kenneth Larke]

Great tribute. I think Harryhausen also worked on "Mighty Joe Young", the original late '40s version, another must-see.

Thank You Dave, By far the best tribute here. I had the pleasure of meeting Ray a few times at conventions. The last time I met him I asked him for a hug. How often do we get to hug our heroes ? My childhood will always stay intact because of him...Thank You again for a wonderful tribute.

I'm a lifelong Harryhausen devotee; I saw this just now -- the day he passed. This tribute has touched me the most. Your boyhood experience of wonder -- down to the drawings -- runs parallel with my own. I ended up in theatre -- studying it in college because he had -- and found that's where I belonged. Inadvertantly I found my vocation while trying to follow in his footsteps.

Of all the tributes I've seen today, yours is the first to give me the gift of tears to mark his passing. Thank you.

Thank you for telling these stories. I will miss Ray more than I can say.
