This is an interesting page out of Reel Life Magazine, especially the last letter on the bottom right.

You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

What a tragic accident—that material really was dangerous. It's surprising there wasn't more loss of life than there was from it—and when you consider that it ran through hot projectors with arc lights... Somewhere on YouTube there is a demonstration where a man sets afire a reel of nitrate film to demonstrate what it would do.
