Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth (6pc) [VHS] $16.04 Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth is essential viewing for anyone old enough to appreciate its vital teachings.

The Storyteller – Theseus and the Minotaur/Orpheus and Eurydice [VHS] $12.95 One of Jim Henson’s finest hours was the Storyteller series that aired on HBO in 1987. As with his other non-Muppet creations (Labyrinth), Henson fills the screen with wonderful creatures that have a wisp of a J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy. Half of the eight-part series was adapted from Greek myths by Anthony Minghella, who became an Oscar-winning filmmaker a decade later with The English Patient. Mingh…

The Storyteller – Perseus and the Gorgon/Daedalus and Icarus [VHS] $2.72 One of Jim Henson’s finest hours was the Storyteller series that aired on HBO in 1987.

The continual peppering of in-jokes and cultural references becomes less irksome on video. That there’s no majesty or awe invested in the beloved Greek legends also seems less of an error. Also on the plus side is the bounciest Alan Menken music since Little Shop of Horrors. W…

Jason and the Argonauts $6.49 Arguably the most intelligently written film to feature the masterful stop-motion animation of Ray Harryhausen, Jason and the Argonauts is a colorful adventure that takes full advantage of Harryhausen’s “Dynarama” process. Inspired by the Greek myth, the story begins when the fearless explorer Jason (Todd Armstrong) returns to the kingdom of Thessaly to make his rightful claim to the throne, but t…

Clash of the Gods: 3 – Disc Set $15.49 It’s paradoxical that the most heavily invented and imagined parts in this 10-episode Clash of the Gods series are so much less riveting than the simple storytelling by scholars cast to recap the myths in classroom-lecture style. In these hour-long episodes, myths are dramatized with acting that borders on farce. Men pumping their muscles and grunting or monsters’ eyes glowing flaccidly into the c…

Werewolves of Millers Hollow $7.89 Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow is a game that takes place in a small village which is haunted by werewolves.
