June 29, 1920 – May 7, 2013

Raymond Frederick Harryhausen is the one name that, perhaps more than any other, personifies movie magic. His pioneering work as a visual effects creator included such inspiring classics as The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (1953), It Came From Beneath The Sea (1955), Jason and the Argonauts (1963), Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977) Clash of the Titans (1981), and the 1969 CDF fan favorite – THE VALLEY OF GWANGI!
