The Wood Beast from Flash Gordon

Thanks to a recent Tweet by Famous Monsters of Filmland about the upcoming 35th anniversary of the 1980 film version of Flash Gordon, I was inspired.

I remembered that I had wanted to make sure there was at least one animate GIF of the Wood Beast on the internet. I did a fairly thorough search and I came up short. So I figured I would do my good deep of the day and fix this minor bug in the internet. It was easy with this YouTube video and Imgur’s Video to GIF tool. Making GIFs has never been easier!

In fact, it was so easy, I made two.

One of the things I did find, however, was this GIF of one of the seers from Flash Gordon who rock back and forth and are the all-seeing eyes of Ming the Merciless’s empire. It’s a good one.
