Ray Harryhausen's special effects handiwork has been a highlight of fantasy films throughout the years before the advent of computer cinematic enhancement. An especially outstanding segment of his work has to be the animation of skeletons to battle human defenders in both Jason and the Argonauts (1963) as well as in The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad (1958), scenes from both movies are included below.
