The Internet is a wonderful place filled with all manner of goodies just waiting to be discovered. Such is the case with Ray Harryhausen and his unused test footage for a film based upon H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds.

Harryhausen was a master of the art of stop-motion, and this snippet, which was first brought to our attention via Bloody Disgusting, makes us wish that Ray would have been given the green light to work on the flick.

Check out the footage below, which is also home to Harryhausen’s various sketches and audio from the infamous 1938 radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. You just have to marvel, man. Wow.
