We are so used to computer-generated special effects in movies that we sometimes forget how difficult and ingenious old-school practical effects were. Terminator 2: Judgment Day came out 30 years ago. Recall when gunshots were fired at the T-1000 terminator, which was made of an intelligent liquid metal. Bullets wouldn't stop him, they just made a metallic "splash" on his surface. That wasn't CGI at all! Instead, those were foam rubber and metal splashes that burst from the actor's clothing, created by master effects artist Stan Winston. You can see that they worked well in the test footage here, shared by the Stan Winston School of Character Arts.

Bonus: Here is test footage of the later effect in which the T-1000's head gets blown in half.
He recovered rather well from that one, too.

The specially trained mice would be attached by their tales to the rows of connectors. Then by pressing the top of the connector a circuit would be completed and the mice would emit their tonal squeaks. The diagram in the front shows the mouse setting pattern for the key of C.
This organ was not much more successful. While still emitting the dulcet mouse tones of the manual version, the aroma of slowly frying mice was somewhat off-putting.

Frankenstein's monster never could grasp the concept and, in frustration, he grabbed a heavy mallet and bashed it to smithereens. This is the last remaining example of the game which later morphed into what we now know as Whack-A-Mole.
