Well done to the filmmaker and his crew. Great use of stop-motion and double exposure for the visual effects, these artists were way ahead of their time.
What's interesting to me is that in the few years that cameras had been around at this point, they had learned very well how to manipulate the medium! These effects are fantastic for the year they were created........very imaginative!
The level of experimental effects for the time was groundbreaking. To commit this to film and inspire other film makers is what makes it all worthwhile

It's mesmerizing when you think about how the early 20th century was still an era where capturing motion pictures was already considered ahead of its time. Then there were filmmakers who went over another level, producing short films with special effects and camera tricks that most people wouldn't even think of doing by that time.
Amazing how they used the camera movement as the house moving, you don't see that much in older films like this, at least the ones I watched. Also the scene where it changes from the real life house to a miniature version is really something. Really impressive overall.
The name of this movie is called The House of Ghosts and the french name which is the original title called La maison ensorcelée. The Haunted House is a different movie made in 1928 which is also a good movie.
Glad to know these other movies commented by the guys above, but I think that the misunderstood of the name is because the American version of that film is called The Haunted Hotel (J. Stuart Blackton, 1907). Or maybe not. Who knows?
Although no sound but there's a dramatic sound being played in my head with the video. Excellent, can't believe it was created in 1908! Who knew a kid like me would watch this in December 2022? Really time is a mystery. Maybe kids in 2122 will read my comment the way I'm watching this after more than a hundred years
I've always wondered why there aren't very many haunted house movies where there are ghosts. I mean scary ghost movies where there isn't just blood, gore and a mass murderer. This short is really quite good.
That was excellent! Much more entertaining than a lot of modern special effects. I can only imagine how amazed people must have been when they watched this in the cinema in 1908; it must have seemed like magic. Thanks for uploading.

mystiemyth I think horror movies started going down in the 2000s I like all horror movies up till 2000. Dracula, frankenstein, psycho, michael myers, jason voorhese, freddy krueger ect ect
I still can't forget the day, as an 8-year-old, when I saw this movie first time with my parents when it was released in 1908. I really thought that the theater was haunted and it took me another 16 years to muster all the courage to watch a movie, the Greed, again in theater!
So you are the same age as queen Elizabeth mom and by the way how were theaters back then? Did they have snacks or anything like now? Pls tell me i am so curious to know
Same as today, go to a haunted house and everyone starts taking their clother off! Great FX for the time. Thanks for posting this classic. A true part of film history!
This is a fascinating use of physical comedy. The way the keep rolling off the disappearing chairs and how the attack the ghost. It's both brilliant and insightful. Seeing where cinema has come from to where it is now.
They most likely used stop motion with very short takes to do the knife sequence one tiny speck of a teeny bit at a time, and used strings to raise the tea kettles etc.
But even still, the effort for stop motion is significant. And it's not like stop-motion had been in the repertoire for decades! This is very well done.
The realism comes from the flawless timing of the stop motion. If you slow down the video 0.25x you will see that there aren't as many frames in the cutting scene as you would expect for such a smooth looking sequence. My guess is that they used a reference film of someone cutting the sausage and 'staged' individual frames accordingly, like a sort of early rotoscoping process, but this is of course just speculation on my part.
That's all stop-motion animation with great attention to detail, very tedious work. When I saw Empire Strikes Back with Luke riding the Taunton, I hadn't seen Tippett's work in a long time.
when this came out the Cubs were on their way to being world champs and San Francisco was still cleaning up after the 1906 earthquake two years earlier. It also cost under two bucks to feed a family of four at a decent restaurant. It wasn't buffet on the Vegas strip but you feed the family on 16 bits as they called it.
Excellent! I laughed out loud HARD all the way. This was truly riveting. Not only was it funny it was unnerving. These old movies were creepy in a way that movies today aren't despite or perhaps because of the lack of technology.
Wow, such a messy and onerous job for just one six minute scene! And nowadays, from a far far far future they certainly could not even imagine, we are comfortably watching and commenting them through a bright handheld screen. How fascinating and bizarre, isn't!?
Gosh imagine experiencing paranormal activity back in those days, no way to record it or even pull out your phone to feel safer…in those times it was just pitch black at night. 😱
Films as old as this one are truly amazing. Despite having no sounds (movies with sounds were introduced in 1927 or 1928, I'm not sure), moviegoers did not complain. They simply enjoyed the movies, and the sounds were up to their imagination.😊
HEY!! That's the way I prepare food for company! Exactly! Glad to see ghosts are just as slovenly housewives as I am when it comes to this! (using guests napkins to clean the knife, gathering up the crumbs with the knife and tossing them onto the plate!) Ah, people.
Yes, it is a comedy. :) The house had that silly funny face on it right before the people entered. The people also had clown make-up on and it all was very funny. :) I enjoyed this, too.

This must have been akin to watching real magic unfold to people in 1908. To us it may seem mildly amusing in this "modern age" but in 1908 I'm very certain that people would have been amazed. I am frankly amazed myself in 2022.
What fabulous stagecraft turned to cinematography. Thinking of the creators: "Hey. Check this moving camera trick. Look what else we can do with it!" The inventiveness is fascinating. Interesting to see the probably earlier literary tropes that we still see in haunted house films: the haunted picture or mirror, for eg. I'm just at the start of the film, settling down to a Sunday after Thanksgiving morning movie. Loved the way they were sucked in the door!
The stop trick and stop motion are two different techniques of filming. Just about every Meiles picture had the stop trick (which he invented) and those old Christmas claymation movies used stop motion. This film is actually better than I expected. No doubt directly influenced by "The Haunted Castle" by Georges Meiles but still a clever film of its own, with very impressive special effects. Considering that most of the best films have been produced by America, Japan, Britain, France, and Germany; I applaud Spain for producing such a quality movie.
Segundo de Chomon sounds Spanish to be sure, but at the time he filmed this, he was a French national, used by Ferdinand Zecca (which also looks a Spanish name, sort of.)

It's harder to get rid of annoying tenants these days.
I can't believe how advanced these special effects were for the time. I've seen short films from the late 1910's that weren't even close to this.
I've seen films from the 2020's which special effects look like crap compared to this.
Or TikTok where every untrained fool thinks they are making great videos.
The table sequence. WOOOW! It must have been beyond words for people 100 odd years ago.
These effects still hold up well now, imagine how awe inspiring they must've been in 1908.
I've never seen so many action in 6 minutes, loved it

Right? The guests are ungrateful. The house ghost was serving them food and everything and they didn't tip.
And how polite of it! it even cleaned the bread crumbs
But everything disappeared when they sat down to eat!
because they didnt thanks for the food
And a house with a goofy smile 😂 too.
Better special effects than certain UA-camr's videos in 2015 lol.

Well produced stop motion techniques
Was the ultimate technology of its time
Still scarier than anything Eli Roth has ever made.
Eli Roth should resign or trying making silent movies. Mel Brooks sort of made one.
Wellch Except it had only one spoken word in it. XD
Eli Roth seems to have alot in common with those who were stars in silent film era and then fell out when sound films got started.
He's still trying...
They did a good job on this one. I didn't know that stop motion photography was perfected that long ago.
How on earth did they made that scene where that knife cutting the sausage?? Thinking about that this was made in 1908 it is pretty impressive... :)

This film is actually better than I expected. No doubt directly influenced by "The Haunted Castle" by Georges Meiles but still a clever film of its own, with very impressive special effects.
Considering that most of the best films have been produced by America, Japan, Britain, France, and Germany; I applaud Spain for producing such a quality movie.
And Sweden or Russia ?
Segundo de Chomon sounds Spanish to be sure, but at the time he filmed this, he was a French national, used by Ferdinand Zecca (which also looks a Spanish name, sort of.)
what a gem!!!im happy for found it here in YT to watching it and enjoy👻🏚🎐
How bizarre, I think them 3 were the scariest thing there.
