Variants:

Sometimes, the snipes would demerge and return the way they came.
The merge is faster on some snipes.

Technique: Camera-controlled animation.

Audio: An abridged version of a 1968 go-go-like tune called "Funky Fanfare" by Keith Mansfield. Sometimes it's silent.

Availability: Used at drive-in theaters by various companies in the 1960s and 1970s. Made a surprise reappearance on the following Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino films: Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003; directed by Tarantino), Machete Kills (2013; directed by Rodriguez), and their 2007 double feature Grindhouse (Planet Terror/Death Proof).

Legacy: This is a cult classic among moviegoers.
