Ray Harryhausen, inspiring pioneer in the field of cinematic visual effects, stop-motion animation wizard, writer, producer, and creator of an endless parade of awesome monsters, has passed away at the age of 92.
Thank you Ray, the Geyser of awesome salutes you. You enlivened, freaked out, and inspired so many of us as children and, for many of us, well into adulthood too. We’re in your debt.
