Horror movie firsts that built a foundation for the horror films of today.
The Big Picture Every genre of film has its starting point. For comedy, it was 1895's L'Arroseur Arrosé . In 1901, Fire! was the first drama . The first surviving animated film came in 1906, with Humorous Phases of Funny Faces. 1920 saw actor Douglas Fairbanks take on the role of the iconic hero Zorro in The Mark of Zorro, the first film of the superhero genre.
The Devil reenters the room as a skeleton, who transforms into a bat, who transforms into Mephistopheles himself but is vanquished by the sight of a large crucifix. The film is less scary and more a chance for Méliès to amaze viewers with his innovative camera trickery, like the illusion of transformations by having stopped filming, replacing a skeleton with a bat, and resuming filming .
