The Ghost of Slumber Mountain is a 1919 silent short. Giant monsters of the past brought to life on the big screen. Thoroughly enjoyable.
from Wikipedia: Author and explorer Jack Holmes tells his two young nephews about an adventure he had in the woodlands around Slumber Mountain, near the Valley of Dreams.

... Slumber Mountain, near the Valley of Dreams sure does paint pictures in the mind.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it! :)
DeleteI can just hear the kids at the end saying "Oh Uncle Jack you had us going on that tall tale"
ReplyDeleteI know, right? :) This was a creative way of getting those prehistoric creatures into a movie.
DeleteOMG! I enjoyed this so much. Thanks for the show.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it :)
DeleteThis sounds like a fun movie.
ReplyDeleteFYI (two UK English movies):
The Broken (2008) - pretty good horror movie
Caught (2017) - good sci-fi movie, but: some of the violence was hard to watch, and sometimes the music was so loud I couldn't hear what the actors were saying.
Thanks for the film recommendations. I'm googling them now :)
DeleteMade the same year Ray Harryhausen was born. I wonder if he ever saw this film and it influenced him with his stop motion animation.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't made that connection cool! Harryhausen was influential. I wonder who influenced him. This would certainly be a possibility...
DeleteI liked this. It is so different than I think of silent films. That is quite the adventure.
ReplyDeleteI love the old adventure and horror silent films.
DeleteThis sounds an oldie but goodie :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Definitely!
DeleteLooked like claymation...excellent claymation! They really made the dinosaurs move and look lifelike for what they had to work with--wow! :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I can only imagine what theater-goers of the day thought.
