"Haunted House" Silent film from 1908

Feb 20, '13, 8:45 PM

This is absolutely FANTASTIC film making. To put yourself into the minds of the filmmakers and the audience of the time, I imagine this was a fantastic experience. I would love to have seen the audiences reaction to this one. The true pioneers of Special Effects in film. Brilliant. http://youtu.be/Zo2EKNRIQlE

Another reason why I love the modern world we live in. Thanks to technology we can enjoy these gems any time where our great grandparents may have a had a shot on a Saturday afternoon... maybe. Fascinating when you think about the evolution of entertainment iin OUR lifetime guys and gals. Embrace and enjoy it!

That's pretty neat. The guy in the painting was a little freaky, actually!

I love silent films. You show kids silent comedies and they still laugh.
