In this video, I cover the history of one of the earliest dinosaur films ever produced, The Lost World, directed by Harry O. Hoyt.

This is a very important film in both dinosaur and monster movie history as it was the first to pioneer many elements that creature features would use in the future, including both King Kong and Godzilla.

Special thanks to Nigel Dreiner for offering assistance.
