anyway this shot makes me thing of 'the House on haunted hill'... dont wanna know what was on these reels - dissections? experimnets?
I just love this photo so much, too bad the film probabally turned to poop after all those years. :[
The peeling paint is a great accent along with it.
Cellulose film has a half life of 10-15 years if not properly stored, my best guess is this film is toast and you could not get a viewable image off it. It will begin to cloud and harden pretty quickly and does worst in hot, humid areas. You can usually tell by "sniffing" the film. If it has a vinegary smell the acetyl acids are proably starting to leach from the film. The acids from your fingers can also break it down, so films that got touched a lot fall apart pretty fast too.
there is more on the whole process here

Most of the stuff you find will fall into this category. If you find 35mm film it is probably also unusable if it is Kodachrome as the last shop developing it finally stopped this year.
