For those wondering about that old Dick Cheney/demon/'O Fortuna' clip...


Long ago, Conan occasionally showed a clip of a skeletal, horned demon wearing a sparkly cape while "O Fortuna" played. If I recall, he would always show the clip in reference to Dick Cheney. I enjoyed it and was curious where the clip originated. I once asked here and on the I Need to Know board but could never get an answer. I believe a few others were curious, too. Well, I finally found it. I'd asked a friend, and he said it looked like a Melies short. After YouTubing a few different things, I came across this short. It's not by Melies, but I never would have found it if my friend hadn't mentioned that name.
