OT: Come on, do I even need to mention that there will be spoilers? I mean, is it even possible to discuss the STAP on this board without spoilers? I'm just saying; I had to get that off my chest.
Back on topic:
So, I wanted to find a good picture to use as a hand-out for the giant crab at the end of the passage under the mountain in HTBM. I instantly thought of The Mysterious Island (1961) and Ray Harryhausen's famous stop-motion animation. It has been years since I've seen that movie (Holy Cheese! Like 30 years?!! Frack!!) so I did a little surfing and found this page which was just what I was looking for. Then I realized, hey, maybe there are some other neat pictures on this site, and sure enough I discovered a Harrysausen creature I had forgotten about; a phororhacos. You and I would call it a Terror Bird! How cool is that? Also, if you want a picture of a hydra from SWW, here you go!
There are a bunch of dinosaur images on this same site, but you might be better off with frames from Jurassic Park (No offense to Mr. Harryhausen intended).
Now that our group has reached The Isle of Dread, I may just make one of our game nights a movie night to watch The Mysterious Island and Jurassic Park.
