Incredible GIFs explain how silent film effects were achieved

I had that book!! I got it at a garage sale when I was really little and tried doing as many of the monster effects as I could. I remember that it had instructions for all the movie monsters including Blackula and Blackenstein, which tells you when it was written. I thought about this exact page when i saw the ‘leper’ gif in the link. Thank you. (EDIT: there’s copies of this book on AbeBooks for up to $300.)
