RIP Ray Harryhausen...... Jason and the Argonauts: skeleton warrior fight scene

For a young boy in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Jason and the Argonauts was a fantastic adventure film, especially the scene with the skeleton warriors. The effects look so dated now but in their time they were amazing, in particular the stop-motion required to make the fight scene look so authentic. These are not friendly skeletons....the expression and intent on their faces used to send me scurrying behind the sofa. I particularly like the bit where they all shriek and run forward........
