20 Most Iconic Monster Introductions In Movie History

18. The Skeleton Army - Jason And The Argonauts

A decade following on from the release of Godzilla and it was time for the American film industry to hit back with a monster movie of their own. The classic Jason And The Argonauts was the end result, an endearing classic likely to be playing on television over any given holiday season. Ray Harryhausen opted for stop motion for the wonderful scene in which an army of skeletons rises from the ground and proceeds to attack the hapless protagonists. It's a superb scene which completely took the audience by surprise when first released, and proof that stop motion can deliver great results. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXmRuJByoVs
