I used to dig the Harpies(not to be confused with herpies!) Mighty Joe Young was a favorite of mine too.

Love em all, but have to go with TALOS. I always loved the moment when he comes to life, he's one scary statue!!
Monster lovers never grow old....

Ghost

They are all great but these are my favorites. If you go to the site you can see quick clips of the creatures in action! There are far more than I was aware of (over 70) and they are sorted by films!

Calibos and I love the Neil McCarthy portrayal of the character

I was always very impressed with the Skeletons

The Cyclops is probably my favorite closely followed by the Rhedosaurus, Kraken (man do I wish I still had the big toy of him) and Ymir
Crazy am I? We'll see if I'm crazy or not!

I like the elephant that fought Ymir. If not him the skeleton warriors

I think the Medusa from Clash of the Titans was the best.  Not only was it a great looking creature, but the animation with the snakes on the head was awesome.

I really like the all the skeletons and dinosaurs as well as the spaceships, Dioskilos, scorpions, Minoton, rhedosaur, and mighty Joe young, all the giant lizards and dinosaur creatures are great

For me, it was Medusa, the Kraken, Hydra, and the skeletons from Jason.

Cyclops, Hands down.

Or should I say "eyes down".

Or "eye down".

Not only my favorite Harryhausen monster, but my favorite monster, period.

Cyclops is #1 for sure, then Medusa#2 (even though snakes don't have segmented bodies nor do octopi have segmented tentacles why does Ray keep doing that?), Kali#3, the Homonculus#4 and the wooden#5 statue off the bow of the ship chick from Sinbad.
I liked the idea of the giant two headed vulture in Clash of the titans and BTW was Charon's animation/sculpt done by Harryhausen in that flick? If so I gotta change my whole line up.
