Midnight Dance (Danse Macabre)

As it is the case every year for my countdown to Halloween, I post here an interpretation of the Danse Macabre of Camille Saint-Saëns. This year is no exception. I was wondering which one to choose, among all the ones available on YouTube. After many hesitations, I decided to follow my heart and go for the one I had already uploaded back in 2012. The animated short movie Midnight Dance by John McCloskey. It is so atmospheric, it is autumnal, the Grim Reaper is simultaneously playful and sinister, it is so perfect for Halloween. Every time I watch it I discover something new in it. So here it is. Tell me if you enjoyed it.
