Suddenly the dissolves back into the swallows and the the swallows fly to the screen and over it,leaving just black on the screen. The word "PRZEDSTAWIA" appears on the screen.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Creative animation for 1972, but very choppy. Also, what does the X represent?

Music/Sounds: The howling of swallows that gets louder over time, then finishing with a loud bang.

Availability: Seen before Partita na instrument drewniany and any films.

Scare Factor: Low to nightmare. The black swallows howling getting louder, the loud bang and the the swallows being so close to the screen can be pretty terrifying to some.
