ATTACK OF THE GHOULS!
🔥 SINBAD AND THE EYE OF THE TIGER (1977)
Early in the film, as Sinbad (Patrick Wayne) and his jolly adventurers are minding their own business - devouring spit-roasted boar while flirting with alluring belly dancers - the sorceress Zenobia arrives and conjures a trio of ghouls from the fire to attack the men.
Don't you hate it when that happens?
The bulbous-eyed demon ghouls are pure Ray Harryhausen, who both produced the film and handled all stop-motion animation.
The battle is notable for its convincing, energetic staging between the animated creatures and the live action performers.
It's a kinetic, confident opener that plays to the legendary animator's strengths. The sequence inevitably recalls the skeleton warriors of Jason and the Argonauts, with the ghouls often viewed as a variation on one of Harryhausen's most famous creations.
Sinbad ultimately dispatches the creatures by crushing them under a pile of logs.
Now let's get back to the belly-dancing,
