Slice of SciFi Ray Harryhausen DVD Contest

January 12, 2008 By News Droid 29 Comments

Three lucky U.S. winners only will be getting our exciting Ray Harryhausen DVD Gift Pack that begins today, January 12, 2008 and will run until February 9, 2008. The prize includes the following DVD titles:

Earth vs the Flying Saucers

this strange occurrence, Russell and his new assistant/wife Carol Marvin are abducted by a flying saucer, where the aliens demand to meet with certain people in order to negotiate. But it was a trick; the aliens only wanted to kill them. The invasion has begun and if Russell and Carol can’t find a way to get past their defenses and stop these creatures, it may be the end of
the human race.

It Came From Beneath the Sea
it-came-from-beneath-the-sea-mgm.jpgIt Came From Beneath the Sea was the first collaboration between special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen and producer Charles H. Schneer. Directed by Robert Gordon (Tarzan and The Jungle Boy), the newly colorized film, depicting a giant octopus attacking San Francisco, stars Kenneth Tobey (The
Thing From Another World), Faith Domergue (This Island Earth), Donald Curtis (Earth vs. The Flying Saucers) and Ian Keith (The Ten Commandments).

20 Million Miles to Earth: 50th Anniversary Edition on Blu-Ray HD
20millionmilestoearth.jpgSpecial effects genius Ray Harryhausen (Jason and the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans) brings you one of his earliest groundbreaking films, now available for the first time in vibrant color! When an American spaceship crash-lands off the coast of Sicily, a rescue team discovers that the crew has brought back a gelatinous mass that soon hatches and evolves into a strange bi-ped creature which increases in size rapidly. Soon 20-feet tall, the creature rampages through Rome before being destroyed as it seeks refuge in the Colosseum.


This prize has a retail value of nearly $237 (USD), but 3 lucky winners will get all 3 DVD’s FREE!

To enter — send us an email, Put Ray Harryhausen in the subject line. Include your name and shipping address (NO P.O. Boxes Please) in the body of the email.

Enter often and good luck to you all!

    I love the Harryhausen contest! I was lucky enough to see him speak a few years ago and get his autograph. I would love to add these dvds to my collection.

    Ray Harryhausen is amazing! He is the Grandaddy of Special Effects as we’ve come to know them. He’s often been copied, but never matched in his SFX style. These DVD’s for your contest are a fine example of some of his finest work! Great prizes!!!!!

    God bless the troops
