The Skeleton Dance

The short film begins with an owl perched on a branch, in front of the full moon: it lets out long whistling hoots as it inflates and deflates its belly. A branch appears from the owl's right and turns into a sinister hand and tries to touch it, which frightens the owl. Subsequently, the short film shows an empty graveyard with a church in the background. In front of the church is a trunk with several branches, which are moved by the wind. The minute hand on the church's clock strikes twelve, causing its bell to start tolling, which causes a group of bats to flee from the belfry. The last two bats fly towards the screen before a spider drops down from the tree and crawls right, going offscreen.
