Response to Peary’s Review: With that said, however, one watches Clash of the Titans either out of a sense of childhood nostalgia (which I’m lacking – I never saw it), or for the reliably stunning stop-motion effects by Ray Harryhausen. Particularly notable are both the enormous Kraken and the battling scorpions (but as impressive as Harryhausen’s snake-haired Medusa is, my vote still goes out to Tony Randall in The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao as the best movie incarnation of this hideous creature!). Equally noteworthy are the make-up and costumes in Titans, particularly those of the three blind Stygian Witches, whose empty eye sockets are truly creepy to behold. Overall, however, this big-budget film is still a major disappointment for those who remember the magic and wonder of Harryhausen’s earlier efforts. Redeeming Qualities and Moments:
