Viewing Notes
Another I thought I’d seen but turns out I’d just seen clips from! Nice to finally watch some of these Harryhausen films. Also chose to watch the original black and white version though the disc includes the colorized version too.
It also includes an 8mm silent black and white home movie version! I watched a bit of it but I’d like to watch the whole thing at some point. I always wanted to order 8mm horror films advertised in comics, etc. when I was a kid but never did.
