Clash of the Titans (1981), which interpretated many aspects of the Perseus myth loosely, redefined the image of Medusa as much more monstrous (to having a serpent-like body along with the traditional snake hair). You can see Clash's influence on many modern pop-culture depictions of Medusa - including the video games (Castlevania, Monster Party, God of War) - below.

Don't Forget Medusa in kid Icarus. Even the first boss in the game Twinbellows came from Clash.
