The Haunted House 1908 

😂😭😂😂

Perhaps it was their tenacity, but I think it's far more likely the characters stayed because its what was written in the script.

Family's a lot like that too!! lol

@@Birdnerd33 LOL I say that to my husband too... we'll be watching a movie, and he'll be like, 'now why did that happen' and I'll say 'because it was written in the script' and he'll look at me like I just knocked his ice-cream out of the cone! Ha, ha, ha, ha....

It's harder to get rid of annoying tenants these days.

That's such a cool fun fact!

Wow!

beg to differ - this signifies 'courage' - a bar brand [inhe sense of 'dutch courage' ]derived from the national emblem of france ... it can still be seen today on quainter drinking establishments thruout europe ...

How would this prevent piracy?

@@davidkinnear1905 its an incidental pub sign, not an intentionally-placed logo ...

OrangeTabbyCat that means, be careful in posting nude photos coz it might be around for another 100 years 😂😂😂😂

OrangeTabbyCat🐈, I think it's amazing too that everything in this film is more than a century old, and it's still in good condition. And, the special effects such as the things on the kitchen table moving around was great

Cool film

You think that's nuts, the guy who voiced Happy Dwarf in Snow white was born in 1865.

113 years now!

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.

true 😁

I did not expect a comedy skit in a haunted house!

Much*

@Cincoat hahaha .. true .. you got me on that one man

​@@tenhirankeiYeah, it makes it seem more like a fun-house than a haunted house.

Segundo de Chomón invented stop motion.

0:53 lady gaga 😂

@@Iceis_Phoenix )))))))))

@@Emilio_J.J.L. Blackton and Smith first used it in an 1898 silent film. Sr. Chomon was very gifted, but there's no record of him ever inventing it. Try again.

@@jessfrankel5212 "The Humpty Dumpty Circus" is an allegedly lost American short film, shot using stop-motion animated toy animals, directed by J. Stuart Blackton and Albert E. Smith. The short was originally believed to have been produced in 1898, but more recent research dates it to around 1908 (which makes Smith a liar). "The Haunted House" is from 1907. The first stop-motion effects (in Spanish, "paso de manivela") were probably made by Meliès in 1896. Chomón systematized it, turning a "technique" into a "technology". Try again you.

Absolutely reveling in the possibilities of the new medium, Moving Pictures. TikTok artists take note....

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E7oqe0SwaR4.html The same thing but colourized, rescaled to 4K and with interpolation for 60fps Maybe not the best way to watch it, but interesting nonetheless.

With piano music and sound effects…

The distressed condition of the emulsion adds to the disconcert.

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.

I don't know, I kind'a liked their Tom Petty "Mad Hatter" hats, myself =)

@CNT-FAI Universe Heck, what's wrong with you? You know if it weren't for these old movies, there wouldn't be the MCU, or DC, or anything? You tell us to f*** off? Why don't you just leave us alone? We're not hurting you.

I'm afraid for my own generation. I'm a high schooler. And no, I'm not offended. I just think that conflict isn't something that will be positive in both our lives. I don't like "The birth of a Nation", but I don't think we should destroy it. It's a piece of history, weather we like it or not, and any history we can learn from. You can learn some extreamly interesting facts about the times from these films. You can see what evolved into what we have now. Actors such as Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton are what influenced Jackie Chan. They invented a lot of things we use today. Now I know that a lot of silent films might be unpolitically correct, but they are the foundation that all cinema is built on. That alone makes me respect them. Then there's the level of genius they had to put it in to it. They had to invent most of the ways for their practical effects. Nowadays we can just use green screen, but back then they had to find out a way to get the desired backdrop. In Harold Lloyd's Safety Last, they build a set on top of a sky scraper so that it would look like he was in actual danger. In reality, it was only a twenty-ish foot drop. And then in others, there was no trick photography. In Buster Keaton's Steamboat Bill Jr, a whole wall falls on him, with him standing in just the right place for a little window at the top. He could have died, as the wall weighed two tonnes, and he had two inches of clearance. In short, though some silent films are stupid, politically incorrect, or disturbing, (some of the old horror movies are horrible) some of them were also ingenious, with fantastic practical effects, and sometimes literally neck breaking stunts (see Buster Keaton's Sherlock Jr), and are worth a chance. I am aware that as a high school student my opinion isn't popular, but please have some respect for it.

They really do---this one was actually funny, and just plain fun to watch, period.

Mature? You come into this section interrupting, Screaming for no reason. Did your daddy not hit you HARD ENOUGH?! Fascists are superior !!

@CNT-FAI Universe yes as well all know every old film is an act of white supremacist what a genius

Yeah surreal paranormal stuff is cool, it should be done more. Relying on creepy out of place imagery over just cheap gore for kicks.

agree

I did some of this kind of thing with camcorders in the early 90's..When you have limited technology, it forces you to be creative.

@CNT-FAI Universe better than being a lazy shit that just sits down while having their face super glued to a television those are the real pigs.

Yeah, really liked the stop-motion animation in it. =)

This is amazing and really enjoyable!

“A trip to the Moon” is very well known but still a marvel as well

There's a "The Haunted house" by Buster Keaton, made a few years earlier than the date you gave. Is that what you meant or is there another? ( If there is, I'd love to watch it)

@wolfman02 Ah. That makes sense. Thanks!

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?

Happy 122 birthday 🎂🎉🎂🎉🎉🎂 .. and many more!!

You weren’t born in 1900.

@@thelasttaarakian Yes they were. I'm their father.

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

@@TastyChevelle if you were their father how old are you?

What is cinema but stage magic writ large?

True. And I think that's why people like texting so much.

mystiemyth agreed

Amen, sister!

mystiemyth scarier than IT

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

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 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.
