The First Horror Movie Ever Made- "The House of the Devil" 1896- Georges Méliès- Le Manoir du Diable

People watching this in 1896: h o r r e n d o u s People now: ahah satan go brrr

[@gradypusateri]

the transition from bat to vampire/devil at 1:54 is actually pretty smooth

[@isabellam1936]

This is the actual length of the full movie incase anyone was wondering as if there was a bigger film, this is it. It’s said to be the first horror film.

[@mesofius]

I have to say that plot was kinda boring but the special effects impressed me

[@Muryxkitteh]

For 1896, this is freaking brilliant. For 2024, it's still surprisingly entertaining--and funny!

[@chocolateteapot737k]

For 2152, it never ever yings (electronic term for "dies")

[@smushedtheaterfloorpopcorn]

It feels like such an honor to be able to watch this

[@strangerkitties9996]

How many people were actually scared of this when it came out? Cause I heard that one of the first films ever was of a train moving and everyone watching it ran to the back of the theatre cause they thought they would get hit, so I’m curious on how many people were scared of this

[@JoseMolina-jz9hh]

By this time films were popular. The first ever film of the train was literally the first ever Hollywood theatre viewing, so folks thought they’d get hit by the train. Buster Keaton

[@orb938gmail.]

Back then, even ankles were scary.😂

[@maccaattacka]

@@JoseMolina-jz9hhidk if this is the one you’re talking about or not but I looked it up and apparently that was said to have been in 1896 (same time as this) and it was a myth that no one is sure if it ever actually happened. Keaton would’ve only been 1 at that time and I can’t find anything other the one from 1896 unless you mean smth else..?

Here because of Cynthia Pelayo. I never would have known this existed if not for “The Shoemaker’s Magician.” I don’t really like horror, by today’s standards with gore and blood, but I loved her two Chicago books, and I found the history she sprinkled in there about horror and this silent film interesting.

[@Kevmaster2000]

Blood and gore is literally the best part of horror. It’s also not “today’s standards”. It’s been that way since the 70s.

[@matt-eo2nq]

[@k41lxsh95]

If it didnt say that it was a horror movie I might’ve thought it was a comedy

[@DrVillainous]

Honestly, it's probably more accurate to call it a comedy, just one that uses some horror conventions to show off a bunch of newfangled special effects.

[@K0tuku]

It's meant to be a comedy. The filmmakers aimed to make the movie evoke amusement rather than fear, its just 'technically' called the first horror movie ever.

[@GhostRider-uk3xv]

Yeah I didn't think this movie was meant to scare people.

[@luiscavalcanti3431]

This is fascinating... I didn't know films in the 19th century even existed.

[@muaddib5079]

Uh, that when they were created, it's not a new technology

[@LiveFreeOrDie2A]

I’d have to argue this is NOT the first horror film- and “The Execution of Mary Stuart” (1895) should be considered the first horror film ever. It was actually made by Edison Laboratory. It depicts the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. It is only 18 seconds long, but depicts Mary having her head placed on the chopping block beheaded by an axe! It was the first ever use of the “stop trick” special effect. Considering the fact this came out among the very first motion pictures of any kind, and the very first to use this special effect the beheading would have been very convincing looking to audiences! If a film depicting nothing but seeing a woman beheaded and her head then held up to the camera by her executioner isn’t considered a horror film- how else would you classify this film?! There’s no comedy or other narrative elements of any kind! Just 18 seconds of what audiences of that day would have considered.. horrifying!

[@HGmolotov]

Could be considered a documentary, in all fairness

[@grumpygumplikesmovies]

this is actually really well made, I'm really surprised. Very well edited!

[@paperclipped6223]

THIS FILM IS FILMED IN 4K THE QUALTIY IS SO GOOD

[@metalvideos1961]

well funny you should say that. but movies back in those days had a higher resolution then what we consider high def now. like 4K for example. Hence the reason why they can still upscale old movies in 4K.

[@eiffeltower2479]

someone should remake this and make it scarier and a bit longer

[@KBH27]

yeah, like 5 minutes 😁

[@chicken-films10]

I think they used the same name for a horror movie in 2009 idk if it was a reboot

[@MillBRoo]

@@chicken-films10 The House of the devil. Nah I don't belive it was a remake at all. That movie is about a baby sitter who ends up getting told that she'd be actually taking care of the mother, and weird things start happening

[@michealgilliland8830]

And to think this was released a year prior to the novel "Dracula".

[@smigget3415]

Thank you for the upload. I may show this to my guests during this year's Halloween. Although, to be fair, this is closer to slapstick comedy than it is to horror, so not sure I consider it the first in its kind. I always considered Nosferatu to be the first genuine horror movie.

[@CrankedUpFilms]

It's widely considered the first horror movie by film historians, but yes, it's much sillier than what we consider horror today! It's fun to see how times (and genres) change! Thanks for watching.

[@corganight]

Seems silly and comical, but gotta remember that at that point, filmmaking was new and they didn’t know how to act for the camera, all they knew was stage acting, which requires more exaggerated expressions, especially with the lack of sound.

[@BloodInkFilms]

Nosferatu isn't even considered close to the first. There were dozens that came before it.

[@blondejesus]

@@BloodInkFilms like what? Genuinely curious

[@evandymon]

@@blondejesus don’t know about the others, but a pretty famous one called “Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari” or “Dr. Caligari’s Cabinet” was made a couple years before Nosferatu

[@Mredits-m2012mkkboy]

I’m pretty sure bloodshed, mystery and more scenes that take place in more than one location. Makes a horror movie and since it doesn’t have any of that, it’s not a horror movie. But still very interesting and good.

[@screwthenet]

This would likely be the second " horror film" as George Melies made a 1 minute film before this called " the Nightmare" . YOu can also guess this because THIS FILM, the House of The Devil, was made in late December of that year, so it sands ot reason with lal the productions and props and rehearsing, even for what would end up as a 1 minute feature, that The Nightmare logically came First. ^~^ Thanks for putting this up though! PE@CE!

[@BloodInkFilms]

"A Nightmare" wasn't considered horror, so that's not really the first.

[@moshaw1235]

128 years have passed since this film. If I told one of those who participated in it that there are those who will watch your work after 100 years, they would have laughed at him. Praise be to God for the blessing and progress that we have achieved. I hope that it will not end because of the stupidity of some countries that consider themselves advanced with weapons and bombs Death

It is actually a misconception that this is the first horror film. While this film introduced many horror tropes for the first time, the first horror film was introduced one year earlier with a special effect that is also incorrectly attributed to this film. You can see the first real horror film here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imGyfouQfNh-eKc

[@sarugard9115]

People considered this to be horror back in the day?

[@BlueBirdMasquerade9]

You’re thinking from the perspective of someone that is familiar with movies and film. When this was made, “moving pictures” were new and unfamiliar. Combine that with the supernatural elements and you get a pretty unnerving experience for the 19th century
