Medusa was a character in the 1981 film, Clash of the Titans.Wilk, Medusa: Solving the Mystery of the Gorgon, pg. 209. Special-effects creator Ray Harryhausen used stop motion animation to depict the battle with Medusa. Although "the essential story sticks closer to its sources than any other interpretation", the film takes creative liberties as Medusa's biology differs from "any previous representations, ancient or modern", with the lower body of a snake rather than legs.Wilk, Medusa: Solving the Mystery of the Gorgon, pg. 210. Medusa is also featured in the 2010 remake of the film, with a more human face that contorts when she turns her victims to stone.
