So, here's an old mystery I've been pondering for almost fifteen years. This is a local news broadcast in 2011 where due to either a hijacking or studio mixup it began playing audio from some old movie or TV show. The sound cuts out at the 3:02 mark, at which point the channel was silent for about a full minute.
It's probably something horror or sci-fi adjacent since it sounds like a monster attack. The music and sound effects make me think it's an older movie, maybe 80s or 90s, it just has this campy quality to it that we don't get much anymore. There's some sort of zapping sound effect that feels particularly retro to me. (Side note, I've always thought that bit at the end was people cheering and celebrating a successful hijacking. It may be the monster howling though.)
I posted this to TipOfMyTongue on Reddit years ago but it didn't get any traction. I'm really curious if anyone can identify it!
