Story by Beverley Cross and Ray Harryhausen
Based on an original story by Ray Harryhausen

Music: Roy Budd
Cast: Patrick Wayne, Taryn Power, Margaret Whiting, Jane Seymour, Patrick Troughton, Kurt Christian, Nadim Sawalha. Filmed in DYNARAMA Main on-screen technical credits: - Creator of Special Visual Effects Ray HarryhausenTrog, the three ghouls, two baboons (one large and one small), the walrus, the wasp, the Minaton and the sabre-toothed tiger all still exist. Also two sizes of the baboon’s cage
There were several scenes that were not included including a fight on board ship with a worm-creature and a fight between Trog and an arsinotherium (a two-horned rhinoceros-like creature). And there was to have been a sequence that showed how the Minaton was assembled with Shadowmen (zombie-like creatures) working a Frankenstein-like laboratory. The gateway into Hyperborea was a tribute to the gates in King Kong. All the live action snow scenes were shot on the island of Malta in temperatures in excess of 85 Fahrenheit. There are two different sized baboons and two cages made for the animation. Zenobia’s boat almost sank. The latex on the model of the Walrus was so thick that it wouldn’t hold its position so Ray had to cut sections away to allow for animation. The ice, which covers the tiger in the pyramid was made of cellophane.
