Spooky: Old Danse Macabre Filmstrip

[lady_branwyn]

For those of us who even know what a filmstrip is, lol. My elementary school class watched this filmstrip each year on Halloween, and I loved it. I can't believe I found it on YouTube.

Filmstrips were so much fun! Watching this, I could totally visualize the little canisters the rolled film used to be in, loading them in the projector, clicking each frame forward and the filmstrip curling out at the bottom. Ah, nostalgia! My dad was a science teacher and used them all the time. And when I was in library school (a long time ago!), we had to learn the proper way to set up the filmstrip projector so as to awe everyone at our technical prowess. ;-)

But this video was missing that distinctive "chunka" sound the projector made with every frame forward.
I never felt so old as the time a young clerk in my office held up a sheet of onionskin paper and said, "I don't know why they used to use this weird paper!"
