Le Manoir Du Diable



Le Manoir Du Diable (1896) (aka The Devil's Castle/The Haunted Castle) is where all horror film roots can be traced back to. A little over two minutes long, this film was the start of the ever popular and favorite of mine horror film genre. Le Manoir Du Diable is the creation the imaginative French filmmaker Georges Melies and contains familiar elements of later horror and vampire films: a flying bat, a medieval castle, a cauldron, a demon figure, and skeletons, ghosts, and witches - and a crucifix to dispatch with evil, all very effective and spooky elements to give us all a pretty chill.

I'm so excited for Halloween!
Do you guys have any costume ideas yet?
If you do, please share!!
