Is My Palm Read (1933, Directed and Animated by Dave Fleischer, David Tendlar, William Henning)
Koko and Bimbo worshipping a black shadowy figure on the wall. A cruise ship is lifted by the hands of the ocean and turned upside down, with many people falling out of it and into the water. A house with an evil looking face has arms that are reaching towards Betty Boop. Betty is inside a building, looking at the fireplace, while a ghost is behind her.

Is My Palm Read (1933, Directed and Animated by Dave Fleischer, David Tendlar, William Henning)
A circle peephole view of Betty Boop in a white dress, gloves and hat. Betty applying her lipstick: a tiny creature lives inside her lipstick, and has paints and is painting her lips for her. Betty lifting up the ends of her dress before she walks through a mysterious entrance which magically manifested. Betty is in the middle of the room which has gone dark, but a spotlight peers over her, showing off the shape of her legs from under her dress. Bimbo and Koko look on.

Two images from the scene where a Walrus-like ghost is rotoscoped to dance like Cab Calloway as he sings the sing "Minnie the Moocher". He is in a cave and there are giant skull formations behind him.

Betty Boop is arguing with her parents. Her father's head has been replaced with a gramophone. Betty Boop is talking to a pair of lips that have appeared on her napkin. Betty and Bimbo are running away. It is late at night, and there are mysterious dark shadowy figures frightening them. Betty and Bimbo, worry on their faces, as they are about to head into a cave.

Betty Boop and Bimbo are in a dark scary cave, both are looking off towards something off-screen. Betty Boop and Bimbo are looking ahead at three skeletons drinking mugs of beer in unison. Close-up of the three skeletons drinking from their mugs, their white bones are turning black. The three skeletons are white again, and they've fallen to the floor, drunk, a smile on their faces.

Wabbit Twouble (1941, Directed by Bob Clampett, Animation by Sid Sutherland, Virgil Ross, Rod Scribner, Charles McKimson, Robert McKimson, Rev Chaney)
Angry bear looks at Bugs, as Bugs is laying on top of Elmer, as Elmer is reaching for his gun. Elmer is running away from the bear, as the bear's giant mouth is open, Elmer's head is partially inside of the bear's mouth. Smear animation frame of the bear and Elmer chase, with the colours of Elmer and the Bear bleeding into the background, to convey speed. Elmer's head looking out from behind a tree, trying to find the bear. The bear's head, slightly lower, is looking out from the behind the same tree, in a different direction, trying to find Elmer.

Past Perfumance (1955, Directed by Chuck Jones, Animation by Ken Harris, Richard Thompson, Lloyd Vaughan)
The sign next to a door that reads "Le Painte Dept.". The walls surrounding the door to this room are slathered in paint strokes and blobs of oranges and yellows. A set for a movie, two sides of cardboard walls and an oval entrance leading out to a balcony, with cardboard trees propped up just off the edge of the balcony.. The set is for a bedroom with a large bed in it. A wooden staircase leads up to the set. Pepe Le Pew standing next to cardboard pink arches. A label reads "Romeo et Juliette Scene 61" on the set behind him. Pepe running to the edge of an artificial cliff, and Penelope Pussycat taking the plunge. In this frame, it's unclear how far the drop is. There is a fake yellow sky backdrop behind everything.
