# Seconded!
Seriously though, most slides will come apart to get at the film by itself. They should scan better if they are flat against the scanner bed.

# There are such things as slide scanners.
They're kind of old now, you might be able to pick one up cheap on ebay.
Alternatively, you could try projecting them onto a surface and photographing that... might be interesting actually, but probably useless if you're looking for the best reproduction quality.

# i got a new scanner about 6 months ago, purely because i wanted to scan slides.
most new scanners seem to come with the necessary attachments/etcs.

# I did this once.
You can just display the slides on a screen and takes a digital picture of the screen.

You may need to change some settings on your camera to get the photos right, but after some trial and error I got useable results. They got very useable after some 'shopping.

Also, be sure to set up your camera on a tripod front and center of the screen. Then you don't have to 'shop too much to make your pics look okay.
