The Most Terrifying Film Ever Made...or not. And some early special effects.



Lumiere Brothers, Arrival of a Train at the Station, 1895





Georges Melies, The Astronomer's Dream, 1898.

Unlike the factual films of the Lumiere Brothers (and Edison's company in the US), Melies used film to produce fictional scenarios where things move and appear and disappear in strange ways.
