Hey folks, Harry here... I'm so proud to join in the Alamo Drafthouse in Welcoming RAY HARRYHAUSEN to Austin, Texas later next month. Ray wanted to screen and introduce the original KING KONG - so we'll be screening one of the finest most beautiful film prints of KONG in the world - and I couldn't be more delighted, I've seen THE LOST WORLD with Harryhausen in Dallas over a decade ago, but never KING KONG. I hope to see y'all there! To see this great film on the big screen is reason enough to show. To see, hear and meet Ray Harryhausen... who, in my opinion, is the most magical human being I have ever had the honor to know.... well that's a rare chance in a lifetime. Finally, he's here in Austin!

RAY HARRYHAUSEN PRESENTS KING KONG AND SIGNS COPIES OF "THE ART OF RAY HARRYHAUSEN" AT THE ALAMO SOUTH LAMAR MARCH 28

We can hardly believe we're announcing that the great Ray Harryhausen will be gracing our stage to present KING KONG. The word legend doesn't even come close to describing Ray Harryhausen. He is indisputably the most revered living special effects technician and has either created or perfected almost all of the techniques moviemakers have used over the years to create movie magic. From THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS through CLASH OF THE TITANS Ray Harryhausen's creations have been the stuff of dreams.

Mr. Harryhausen will present a rare screening of the original 1933 KING KONG, the movie that set the then 13-year old Harryhausen on his singular path and ultimately led him to enlarge upon and perfect the techniques of his mentor Willis O'Brien, the man who animated the great ape.

This screening is a Big Deal to everyone who cares about fantastic films and we are honored to host it.
