THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL

Le manoir du diable

Directed by Georges Méliès
France, 1896
Fantasy, Horror, Short, Silent

Synopsis

With the help of a magic cauldron, Mephistopheles conjures up a variety of supernatural characters. Le Manoir du Diable is a mere three minutes in length, but its importance cannot be emphasised enough as the picture birthed the darkest of all motion pictures genres: horror.
