Le squelette joyeux, Lumiere Brothers, 1895
I still can't tell if this is an early example of stop motion or just decent editing.
Le Manoir du diable (The House of the Devil), Georges Melies, 1896
I am writing about both of these films a little bit in my paper on Jean Rollin. What I can't figure out with this film is whether or not it may be the first vampire film. I've read some articles that say that this film is based more on Faust. I consider it a haunted house film with a sorcerer. But the sorceror can change into a bat...so I don't know. Thoughts?
