I'm looking for a short clip I can sample for something I'm working on, it only needs to be 20~ seconds and can be in color or b/w.
What I'm looking for is some kind of spooky, foreboding message or siren about nuclear war or an apocalypse. Animation or film, both will work. I've seen plenty of clips on youtube of people filming routine siren tests, but they all have this low res shaky cam stuff going on and i'd prefer the look of something maybe more professional. Looking for audio to sample for it as well but they don't have to be in the same clip. Appreciate any replies or leads. thanks /tv/!
Can't help you on the video, but I would combine audio from these:

The old mechanical air-raid sirens didn't "talk" like modern ones do. The spoken warnings were on Radio and TV.
Radios made prior to ~1963 actually had the Civil Defense channel (CONELRAD) frequencies marked on the dial.

that siren is eerie as hell, that will be perfect thank you. I like the radio warning, but i think the person i'm working on this with wants something slightly more sci-fi or more humanistic. maybe something with more of a "god help us all" touch instead of something so official. I was originally thinking Orson Welles' War of The Worlds radio play would have been perfect but I couldn't find anything worth using in there.

Some autist did a full-blown simulation of an early '60s nuclear war broadcast. Towards the end, he does an impression of JFK delivering a speech in that vain:

You may want to see if he'd let you sample that. It's a little hammy, but it could still trip people out.
Alternatively, you could try perusing these old B-movies for suitable dialog:

Finally, I would advise looking into some old monster B-movies. A lot of those are allegories for nuclear war, and I'm sure they've got good monologues which imply it.
