these are creepy, but they are also beautiful pieces of art. the amount of effort and imagination put into these almost puts some modern video art to shame.
Well the British gets
nightmare's from this type of shit lol
Welp, let's agree to disagree lmao
No it doesn't put modern art to shame
Lloyd Lee I will agree with you on that. Even in their time, cinematographers seemed to have gained some really good knowledge as to how to create things and film. Even without sound the films are just as entertaining. The mechanics were amazing too. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for them to pull off these scenes and create props and sets. I mean look at the pig or the moon for example, the mechanics and the way the faces move and the expressions are really good even from that time period. They didn't have half of the things that are used to create films such as computer generated images but they made what they could with what they had. And yes that pig is really scary just to be clear. Would I want to have that staring at me in the face at night? Hell no! Great mechanics though.
Ikr
Seeing footage from the late 1800s and early 1900s amazes me
Vrusilov NEIN! Lol
Mee to
old time my boah
Exactly!!
Number 2 is fantastic 💜
If by "creepy and scary" you mean "creative as hell", then yes.
It's amazing that they're doing that and those years
BRAT!?
I agree
it can be both
The imagination these people had to create these short films is astonishing
The fact they were able to create an articulated pig costume way back in 1907 is actually amazing.
they where probably even better at it, real artists and no computers
Body: Go to sleep.
Brain: Stay up and watch creepy vintage videos
And hope you don't have dreams like those!
yea i don’t think im sleeping tonight

The pig costume is actually very well made.

These films weren't all that "creepy" to begin with, and become even less so when you realize they were probably accompanied by goofy ragtime piano music.
They all look like really bad comedy
They all look retarded back then
the first video wasn’t creepy it’s just people overthinking about the meaning of it ( it was probably for comedy.)
I was thi king this too
Most this video are not creepy at all!
In fact, most of them are true masterpieces and show the early experimental movies of the founding fathers of today's cinema!
Just imagine the audience back then must have been completely mesmerized when seeing these truly magical creations!
I'm still mesmerized by them. Crazy stuff man!
@@itburns8053 : I could imagine people screaming "WITCHCRAFT!"
Alice in wonderland has always been mesmerizing to me
Tom Idelson master masons they are all children of satan
@@dancrosby9991 right this is a trick and a total acid trip.
these were probably terrifying in the 1900's but in 2019, I just found them Amusing and sometimes funny
but they had some pretty clever and imaginative special effects tho, I'll give them that. . .
If there's something that gave me the willies, it's the outfit the guy is wearing at 4:48. Then again, it may have been something Noddy Holder of Slade might have worn back in the day.
Dude these were spooky acary boo aahh in 1900s no other time
I actually love the electric hotel one. It’s part of the creative beginning of stop motion animation, which is hard to do today, and even harder to do back then and make it look good. Such good imagination of what they could do to show of their skills!
it reminds me of great bay in fact the haunted house of forest temple and both are from zelda
The ending looks a lot like Peter Gabriel’s sledgehammer video ending
I'm amazed my the effects they could do at the time! It makes our current CGI look like crap.
+Sclasspsycho You're right! They were so much more creative back then.
+Eskify I agree. This video is a fantastic glimpse into film past. Thanks for digging these up.
well back then the pixels weren't even close to the TVs now
Yh
*****
Yes. It was a typo.
Also, that pig was BY FAR the creepiest. That should have been number one!!
We don't need the devil to bring evil to the world. Humans do just fine on their own.
Speak for yourself!
The devil make humans do this lol idiot people are just ignorant to tthe cord easy to manipulate
Barry aLLen, Nancy Desch, Be nice.
The devil tries to get people to do things, but he isn’t the one actually doing it
Barry aLLen Nah, we do it on our own since we’re cunts
💀Stop saying that it's creepy that all the people in these videos are dead, like are they supposed to stay alive forever??
Imagine when our generations dies. We will have our social medial accounts forever
Exactly humans are scared of death when death is normal and natural
If they had just eaten their vegetables they'd still be alive today.
@@SequinBrain They ate more vagetables than todays people
@@shibba2517 bruh it's a joke
These are creepy, but there absolute works of art, the imagination and though put into them is incredible
You just copied a guy above you lol.
1908, what a great time to have an imagination!
***** True.
+Damm It LOL!
Damm It and a time to be a person of color
1950s is better
New technology, new opportunities.
The creepiest video I've ever seen was sweatshirt
This comment needs more likes
true XD
But the urban legend is true
I agree
True dat
Narrator: "They're walking into this house"
*people walk into house*
Narrator: "They than turn on the lights"
*the people turn on the lights*
Narrator: "What appears to be a flower, the young woman picks it up"
*surprisingly, without the viewer's knowledge, the young lady picks up the flower.*
What?
Godzilla can kick your ass though.
1v1 me kid nuke town 2025 quick scopes only, radar on.
It on.
+james ramirez People Walk into a house....it hurt................
Considering the time these short films were made, they are absolutely incredible. They are very creative and I can imagine how difficult it would have been to make costumes with eyes that move etc with the little amount of resources they had back then. It's amazing.
It just goes to show people had wicked imaginations in the past.
Nothing new under the sun.
Well they do give you a cool hair tutorial at 5:22
Was thinking the same. Always wondered how the process was to make those ugly hair up dos from that era. I should redo it more modern.
Anananas Challenges lol
Anananas Challenges ,fuk u!
*moon eats telescope*
SAVAGE AF
Damm Damm Damm Damm
Lol
Vulgar!
it looks like a george méliès movie 🤔
Some of these are just bizarre.And just think, no CGI to creat the affects.
These short films were most definitely creepy,but also very impressive.From the costumes to the set decorations,everything was quite creative.Considering,as well,that these were created when film was still in it's infancy,makes them even more amazing:)
I just want to know how they made these effects
@Reesemalo:I was thinking what if those wasn't effect but human experiments gone wrong cause in those day their wasn't that much technology made up Back then to make or do things they look real life like. Like the creatures that washes up on beaches now on videos recorded that's look deformed human animal creatures just think people doing experiments on animals mixed with humans have always been going on. I don't think they were fake but I could be wrong but if you look real close they are to life back then to be fake cause no technology that we have now or c.g.i was you use or made back then!
@@aalonnaalibooker they didn't have computors right, but they probably wore costumes or somehow added in other frames. I don't really think they could really be experiments gone wrong because come on, I don't think anyone could just form a giant dancing pig.
The most part of the movies back then used doble exposure to make them appear. Obviously they make props just a little bit weird, for our standards
And a looooot of stop motion to make the things move around
Ig people just forgot practical effects been a thing since forever
They would photograph parts of the sequence separately and then superimpose them, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit but with live action instead of animation. It was a a technique invented by the stage magician Georges Méliès.
And others are just stop motion or makeup, obviously.
These films were made in France, which explains everything.
Whats even more creepy is the fact that most of these people are actual ghosts now.
There's a theory that what we call "ghosts" are a sort of psychic memory, much like a photographic film. It was in fact quite a popular theory at the time these movies were made, and is credited to either Thomas Edison or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, both of whom were very much interested in Spiritism.
PokeDude011 as are you Cell
PokeDude011 Yes, considering that they would all be well over 120 years of age!
that's a lie that dancing pig is my grandfather
@@jkbikers2823 what happened to him
All of these came about just by the filmographers trying to show off and figure out what they could do with SFX. The ending of the Dancing Pig one, with him wagging his tongue and rolling his eyes, is creepy for sure, but it was just them showing off what the suit could do. Same with the frog one. And The Electric Hotel isn't electricity making everything "go mental," it's a attempting to speculate about the future. If anything, it's an early low sci-fi clip. And No. 3 is just them showing of stop motion and reversing the film to bring things in and out of existence, that's all. The only one I'd say is actually meant to be a horror is the last one.
+ventricle experimenting and showing what you can do so someone else can top it is how the art of film evolves, the same can be said for many things like games and other visual forms of art.
MetalFoxT Dugan Completely agree. Still applies to modern film, I mean what was Avatar if not "look at this MoCap" and so on. All I was saying is that that was what the filmographers here were doing, as the OP seemed to think they were doing it for unknown or dark reasons.
+ventricle I dint know that
+ventricle Creepy is creepy, no matter if it's intended to be so or not.
+ventricle *mentow
I love creepy things and vintage things so this is right up my alley lol
missxpanda same
Vintage means wine
Mind too

missxpanda same
These are hilarious not creepy. Early art on film. I can dig it. In fact, I’d love to study them in film class. It’s amazing what was done with early animation and editing. Not to mention the actual scripts themselves. Also, early costume design. There’s a lot to be gleaned in these old works!
I love that he didn't talk over each one. We could actually sit and enjoy them
These are amazing! Can you imagine how people must’ve reacted to this new and fantastic technology? And a new art form born? These are beautiful!
When "L'arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat" ("Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat") (1895) was first shown, the story goes that audiences reacted as though they were actually getting run over by the train, since they were unused to films and the realism they brought with them.
Anything with later special effects were new, and a source of wonder for movie-going audiences then.
It was all new to people then they were basically just testing the technology out at that time that’s why the films were never very long
Knowing WHEN these films were made, it's beyond amazing seeing what could be done back then with so little...
Sadly, such… "craftsmanship" (that's the best way I can describe it at the moment) and practical effects wizardry seems to be a lost art among modern day filmmaking.
@@spectre9792 That's because CGI makes unbelievable worlds and concept seem realistic. While I miss practical effects it's really understandable why they were replaced.
guy paone Maybe. I personally like when it’s not realistic. Makes the movie seem more wonderful.
I think it's more terrifying knowing that all the people in the videos are dead....
That's a strange thought
The Transgender Black Sheep the narrator isnt;) (soz i had to be that guy)
@The Transgender Black Sheep
OH MY GOD, HUMANS DIE! _How scary..._
True it is crazy that there are people who made videos like this....... an now there gone.
Why. These are over 100 years old. People get old and they die. Part of life.
We need more of these. I was wondering is there a collection out there? Maybe on dvd or Blu-ray? These amazingly strange pieces of art need to be preserved. Where did you find these?
Yes, they are creepy, just like they’re supposed to be! A horror film for the time! Really impressive skill with the filming and editing
I don't think it's creepy, I find amazing what could be done with those days technology.
The Frog one is awesome actually...creative af!!...
Goo The Guru agreed
is it weird that all the people in these videos are now dead..
+Heather Rae No.
+Sesseur wtf
+Heather Rae Creepy as fuck I watched a Robin Williams movie the other day & he's dead.....that's creepy! ;)
+Sesseur Fuck off
All the people I've seen in those old photographs are dead...
It is worth mentioning that most of these were made by one film director: Spain's Segundo de Chomon, a prolific surrealist probably influenced by Georges Melies (director of 'The Astronomer's Dream').
The way the ghost in the painting from the last clip moved his hands made me think of that one monster from Pan's Labyrinth.
what makes these videos scary is the background sound effect
Am I the only one who only found all those vids very very *very* funny and not in the least bit scary or creepy? O.o
Yea meh too
Yep..and quite artistic for their time..they were hand coloring film frame by frame.
SingenStatt Atmen yeah, IKR
Tom Lahr it's impressive, I must say
a bit creepy,but interesting and funny.
still better than superman vs batman
The pig one was in a Ghostemane music vid
thanks fbi
Yep
Nihil
Le porcin danceur
Me: *looks at the Moon with my telescope*
Moon: oof I'm desperate I'mma eat this
Moon: *eats my telescope*
Me: WTF I SAVED SO MUCH MONEY FOR THIS WHYYYY
I like how he yeeted those kids back into the moon
We need to destroy 6 the moon 6 for good 6
🤦♂️ unfunny af.
What the hell is wrong with you people??!!! There is nothing creepy about this stuff!!!!
+JGS Music I agree, none of this is as creepy as your mom.
Lord Funface The Atomic Toaster lol you stupid man.
JGS Music OOOOOOH PASS THE SAVLON, I JUST GOT BUUUUUURND!!!! (intentional miss-spelling for comedic effect)
Lord Funface The Atomic Toaster Only because of your epic youtube channel name, I got to let you win this one.
+JGS Music This guy hasnt got a single clue has he even watched the futage he's put up. What a fucking joke just because you put slow, low music behind film futage from the early 20th century doesnt make it creepy.
Dont give up your day job, Hack.
12:26 I absolutely love that haunted house, the witches flying by, the lightning bolts, the clouds rolling, just the look of the house, it's so classic Halloween.
dennisbergkamp17 To me, every day is Halloween 🎃
These short films are scarier than any recent horror film, by far.
Wow thank you for opening my eyes to these vintage horror films that I had no idea existed for that time period. I'm going to love watching as much as I can. Thank you! Inspiration is a wonderful thing.
The pig one reminds me of an evil Barney and Friends character lol .
* watches alone in my room*
*does same*
+W0lfie Silver you're alone in her room too? Now that's creepy!
same
Angel Marie me too
well I'm under my sheets and I don't want to look out.
For some reason I find vintage videos like these so, SO interesting. I can barely put into words how much I love them. It's like they creep me out but in a good way, even though a lot of them weren't meant to be creepy. It also makes me feel like I'm living in that time period, and at the same time I wish I could go back even though I was never there, and... yeah. See? I can't even explain my love for things like these. But please tell me I'm not the only one like this 😂
Hee hee at one point the Electric Hotel footage looks like a Peter Gabriel video :-)
Sledgehammer 😁⚒
0:19: The Original Brain that Wouldn't Die
If Diane Arbus directed a 50s B movie, the result would be The Brain That Wouldn’t Die. And if she directed any movie, the result would be Gummo
the electric hotel clip is all about the fact that in the early days of electricity people were afraid to have it in their homes because there was a myth about secret "vapors" floating around as a by product of electricity. These vapors created all kinds of mental issues, supposedly.
fact: 3:17 was lady gaga's inspiration for her applause music video
😭😭😹😹
Yuri Aegyo lol
I doubt it inspired her personally
I'm on the wierd side of youtube again. I need a taxi to pewdiepies channel.
same omg
i was looking kurilian bobtail then endup here creepy
+mintje solael the magic of youtube
+Blad3rTheWind you can take me to zoella's channel instead then XD
The taxi is here! Anyone gonna hop on?

These aren't meant to have a meaning, They were meant to show off camera tricks and blow the minds of people who had never seen motion pictures before. To unironically call them creepy is to be more sensitive than people were in the 19th century!
Except that pig video. No one knows what happened to the footage between the dancing and the pig smiling.
9:33 I’m pretty sure it represents what happens when you give people the power of a god. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and all that.
"Don't do drugs".

The short part with the pig sticking his tounge out and everything is the makers of the costume showing it off. They were trying to show how it works :) Pretty cool machine/costume if you ask me
For #5, the bible actually states at one point that God sent Lucifer to "Hell on Earth". That could be heavily interpreted as Earth being Hell, and if you aren't good you come back to live another life, if you're amazing you go to paradise.
Damn early 1900s you scary!.
Pretty much all of history is terrifying!
@@cannagrodaily643 you need therapy.
1:22. "Young Girl Having a PigNick"! LMFAO! Nice!
Kudos to the filmmakers for creating special effects without software like Adobe Premiere Pro, etc. Painstaking work, frame by frame. 👍🏼
For some reason I'm feeling a nostalgic happiness from watching those, I mean I didn't find any of them creepy... I was just smiling and giggling thinking about the people reacting to these "moving images" for the first time. Btw I'm not an old person, I'm 17.
Same
I love this stuff so much
Yeah it's so genuinely cool and interesting I don't understand why people find it so creepy.
For me, these movies are magic. The magic that movies are supposed to be. I don't get that sense of magic from modern ones, they just don't make them the same anymore.
saaame
Chicken Permission this shit i creppy if i was born 1256 thats gannna be the time were these movies were not here i would kill my self if i wad born 1904
*was*
These are actually fucking awesome and fascinating.
Welcome to the comment section you are safe here have a fucking cookie 🍪🍪🍪
Ok thanks
How many fucking cookies can I fucking have
+Fifi Lonek exactly how many do you fucking want cuz I got a fuck-ton of comfort cookies
Yay my people
🍪🍪🍪🍪🍼🍼🍼🍼
It's so awesome that special effects were one of the first things experimented with when film was invented.
If I’m being honest the dancing pig is creepy but also quite fascinating considering the made such a high quality realistic pig costume such a long time ago when society didn’t have access to fancy hardware along with other tools
This is GORGEOUS! I really hope you have time to do a part 2. Thanks for a wonderful video :)
+Mrs Bunnyrabbit That's a great idea! I shall do a part 2!!
+Eskify YAAAAAAY! Thank you so much!
#3 it doesn't seem that she's torturing the animals with fire like you said, just that she uses the fire to create the animals and transform them
Plus the movie is called metamorphoses
Remy Balboa IKR?
This Dumbass hands out false descriptiond to scare kids on here.
Typical Clickbait.
Dislike.
Thank you. This is pretty obvious.
scary? not really... Bizzare? Definitely.
Hotel? Trivago
I love watching the creepiest videos right before bed so I can have the most voracious nightmares.
4:27 Their bedroom and room is much nicer than probably anything we have at home, and that was 1908 Plus the hair scene on that one must have taken hours!
not creepy just disturbing... and weird..
Which makes it creepy.
You're using a synonym to describe its synonym
Same
Most of these are all by the same director George Melies, a french surrealist film maker. He was one of the earliest film makers of all time, as a stage magician he was obsessed with creating new magic with the power of film. Most of the comments state that a lot of these seems like they are testing the costumes, while they were, Melies was trying to create new illusions to surprise audiences. I only posted this comment because I was surprised at how many Melies film's made this list.
+Michael Royer I love Melies. I have a DVD box set that contains most of his existing work. It's fantastic.
+Michael Royer thank you for saying something about george melies and explaining that it was just movie magic george melies the father of special effects
The movie 'Hugo' can help you learn more about him
+Michael Royer ...and knowing how little knowledge of film came before George to give him ideas and develop techniques, it should make people realize just what a genius he really was. I mean, without looking up the names I used to know (F.W. Murnau, Edison, etc...?) I think there were very few others before him or at least working with film at the same time. We have some great film makers from every era afterwards including today, but many get to learn (or nearly imitate) from someone prior. George Melies must have some pretty sore shoulders from so many people standing on them.
Sadly, I believe there are many more films of his that have been lost. Is this true? Though most are gone forever, it's painful to think about some of them possibly sitting somewhere rotting.
I think these films are quite unique ;) Film makers could really get inspired by them for sure. Great work!
+emmyland I think you're right. Some of the best films are the old ones.
It's almost 3 o'clock here. Time to scare to death.
They say that 3 o'clock is an Hour of Satan
Aww, I keep coming back to this upload. I actually love it, so, thank you for sharing it! Still a fan of these old recordings. Such history! :)
in 2116 kids are going to watch antique youtube thinking we were fucked up
Heth Rham lmao
1:24 "Interrupted by a dancing pig" the pig was trying to mount her.
"She decides to humiliate him (pig)" ---> 1:37 That pig looks happy.
The "scary house" one is quite silly once you watch it the second time
+TheSpyt67 They all are :P
lol yeah really
The dancing pig is actually about a woman dancing with an animatronic pig. She humiliates the pig, and then he (apparently) exacts his revenge by eating her offstage
This shows that nothing changes, we still fantasise such creatures and happenings.
X
The actual backstory for the first one (about the creepy science experiment) is that the guy was one of the first people to make some sort of special effects by compositing film strips together, it is his own head that he is experimenting on, and it's one of the first videos where effects were achieved using layers of different film, not a creepy science experiment lol
It's obvious it's his own head and I loved it 😂
at like 1:45 (the pig) that looks so real its deff creepy....
That's some amazing puppetry.
relax its just a puppet
As creepy as Your pic...?
Silent film really had good physical actors who knew how to take a pratfall, make great faces, and could successfully react to the concept of the film. Now modern actors only want to play the ironic mouthy comedian, superhero, femme fatale or messed up addict. The magic and great antics of silent film seem to be gone. Would love to make some light hearted film pieces with lots of comedic acting like the one in the last clip. Anyone interested in collaborating let me know.
I remember watching the one with the frogs and the head in a fountain on a video with loads of weird old stuff on it some of it quite lewd from Weimar Germany. Some friends and I watched it while we were tripping.
Ooohh, risky thing to watch while tripping! Of course it does depend on your state of mind going into the trip, as I'm sure you know. Did any of you get freaked out by it?
Val O'Brien I got a little freaked out by the pig as did a couple of my friends. It really didn’t help that my friend had a little pigs face mask in his brothers room (no one else was in the house, they’d gone away for the weekend) and he kept putting it on. The one with the frogs and the head just made us laugh.
@@jackduncan4228 I just re-watched the one with the frogs, and yeah, can imagine that being hilarious then. Especially the way the frog keeps going round and round, disappearing and reappearing, reacting to the different things that appear on the rotating stage. Mad stuff!
WOw! The Pig suit capabilities, the stop-motion hair brushing... This stuff is actually pretty next level for its time!
These videos are pretty interesting, and IMO, well done for the time.
"This must be Hell."
"How do you know?"
*“…Striped stockings.”*
I honestly think these are way better than the shit special effects of today. I liked the actual made up creatures from The Dark Crystal and diff movies 🎥 Today's stuff sucks. This is art.
And full of meaning, pity none did understand, they were more symbolic and subtle than now
I also prefer practical effects, but that doesn't make cgi any less of an art.
Fuck you. Modern cgi is way better than this crap. Its just that people like to hate on popular thing to go against the grain.
@@Marcus-gh8bh mhm
its_a_trab 100% agree, but there’s no need to say “fuck you” over that 😂
Proof that good drugs have been around for a long time!
These old videos were very creative. I really like them! The face on that house to me look like Mrs Puff from SpongeBob SquarePants
shane should watch these and try not to cringe
i was just thinking that
Analise ugh someone needs to show him haha
His reactions would be amazing
True amazing
Shane?
Literally the one with the moon reminded me of majora's mask
I'm pretty sure this all passed for comedy back then
The film maker is Georges Méliès. I learned about him in a college photography class. His films were pretty popular and well received by public in those times. He was the pioneer for film editing techniques..His movies are pretty creepy and it's hard to believe people liked them in those times
THIS is the most fascinating video compilation out there. I love it.
