Special Effects creator Ray Harryhausen was devoured by one of his creations this morning as he was on his way to breakfast. The incident was caught on camera by this iPhone snapshot taken by one of the assistant cooks.
The breakfast would have consisted of hotcakes, genuine Vermont maple syrup, eggs over easy, a bit of whole grain toast and coffee, milk and cream. Harryhausen's breakfast will be resin-coated and preserved at the Film Museum in Denmark.
