This is a little clip from 1964, from 16mm film shot by my step-grandfather Wallace Franklin "Archie" Archibald (1896-1970), part of the Amanda Pape Collection digitized by the Texas Archive of the Moving Image (TAMI). I'm the tallest, my sister Karen is the other gypsy, and our brothers Mark and Brian are a ghost and a skeleton respectively. Sister Mary was a newborn and isn't in the film. Kind of fitting to post this today, as on Halloween in 2020, I submitted fifteen 16mm home movies (each ranging from 15-20 minutes long), recorded from July 1958 to August 1965, as well as ten Hi8 videotapes recorded from May 31, 1993 through March 1, 2003 (each about two hours long), to TAMI for digitization, with possible inclusion of clips on their website.
Here's a link to the segment in case the embed below isn't working:

Happy Halloween, everyone!
That's great, Amanda. How cool that you have a collection going!
