Скачать или смотреть Classic Horror/Epic Mob Scene: Medieval Rioters Storming Castle Gate (Stock Footage, 1950s)

This is a short, dramatic reel of silent, black-and-white outtakes and trims from the Sandler Film Library, likely shot around 1952 (Edge Code: Square Plus). This highly sought-after stock footage was utilized to depict chaotic, large-scale confrontations, particularly in classic Gothic Horror films (e.g., Frankenstein sequels) and sweeping Historical Epics.

Key Scenes of Mass Action:

Medieval Mob Riot (0:05–0:29): Features a chaotic, dense crowd of extras dressed as peasants or militia. The scene is set at night in a castle courtyard or town square, lit dramatically by a central bonfire and numerous torches. The mob is armed with pitchforks, axes, and pikes, suggesting a riot or a legendary attack on a fortress (often used in the "mob attacks the castle" trope).

Barricade Confrontation (0:24–0:29): Focuses on rioters actively waving weapons and advancing towards a large, ornate stone structure or palace facade, emphasizing intense conflict.

Historical/Biblical Epic (0:32–0:34): A brief, contrasting clip shows soldiers on horseback in Roman or Biblical-era garb (armor, shields) massed outside a walled city under a dramatic, cloudy sky.

Celestial Shot (0:30–0:31): An abrupt cut features a striking black-and-white shot of a distant celestial nebula, possibly used as a transitional or special effect shot.

This reel is essential for historians of film special effects, stock footage library usage, and classic horror/epic cinema from the mid-20th century.
