A woman with long hair is shown in close-up across four frames, her expression shifting from concern to alarm. A voiceover reports on verified, ghastly events involving a wave of masks, stating that no one is safe.
“More ghastly with each report. It's difficult to imagine such a thing actually happening, but these are the reports we have been receiving and passing on to you.” 40:10 · “Reports which have been verified as completely as is possible in this confused situation.” 40:17 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
Public domain through a copyright notice omitted on release in 1968, a rule this registry does not yet apply; the finding is the film's own documented history, not a catalog check. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
