WHAT A CRAB

Yesterday was Jules Verne’s birthday, & tomorrow is opening day of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, so…

Monster-of-the-Week: …this week the nod goes to this cranky crustacean...



...from the splendid 1961 version of Mysterious Island—a real crab shell, articulated & animated by the great Ray Harryhausen, to a wonderful, halting musical accompaniment by the at least equally great Bernard Herrmann. Melt some butter!
