Melies doing what Melies did. A lot. 122 years ago. Damn important to the history of film, though, and fascinating to watch.

According to Wikipedia in August of 2011, Le Manoir du diable by Georges Melies is the first horror movie. Well, actually its a short film (about three minuets or so) but film was really hard to come by in that time so this counts as a film to me.

The plot of the film is basic, you have your hero More
