A Tale of Horror, Van Beuren-Style

Van Beuren goes in for some effects in its horror cartoon The Magic Mummy (1933).

There is silhouette animation in a couple of scenes.



A fight scene in a cave reveals moving sets of eyes and a few lines and stars.



Here are a couple of backgrounds, with varying shades of grey. The first one has some light shadows, the second goes for a light-into-the-crypt effect.



As you might expect in almost any Van Beuren cartoon, there are oodles of skeletons and piano playing. John Foster and George Stallings get a “by” credit.
