Boney M (M for Meat)

If you like cartoons filled with skeletons, then Spooks (1932) is what you want to see. Flip the Frog ends up in an old mansion populated by...well, you know.

Here Flip runs away from a skeleton into the darkness. Slowly the scene lights and Flip skids into a...well, you know.



The skeleton invites flip to sit down in a chair that gallops toward the table, then asks him to dinner.



The dinner is a, well...you know. Except it’s alive. Its neck bone sways back and forth across the plate until the human skeleton cuts it off.



Flip has a pretty good line after being served the neck bones. “I don’t like dark meat,” he tells his host (the bone has turned a dark colour for this part of the scene).

The opening titles say the cartoon was drawn by Ub Iwerks but by 1932, he had other people doing that for him.
