About The Ghost of Slumber Mountain (1918)

Willis H. O'Brien, the stop-motion pioneer who later animated The Lost World (1925) and King Kong (1933), made this early dinosaur comedy.

The Ghost of Slumber Mountain is a 1918 film written and directed by special effects pioneer Willis O'Brien, produced by Herbert M. Dawley, and starring both men. It is the first film to show live actors and stop-motion creatures together on the screen and is often cited as a trial run for The Lost World. An advertising tagline for the film read "These giant monsters of the past are seen to breathe, to live again, to move and battle as they did at dawn of life."
