    @@jeffmcdonald5901 I think you're overthinking it. People generally find older material like this to be creepy because they view the almost alien time period to be creepy in and of itself. No more, no less. Just people getting creeped out by "the olden days." As for Frankenstein, phantom, etc, that's largely your opinion. Most modern people do not find those characters to be particularly scary, they're basically pop culture these days. While Jack Pierce and Lon Chaney were masters of their craft, it would be daft to claim that no make-up artist since has been able to do a better job as there are scores of them I could name from Stan Winston to Rick Baker to Tom Savini.

    @@GilbertSyndrome You could be right in the case of most people. But at least for me personally, I honestly feel that's why it does for me. So I am only assuming it's the same for others. I don't find the olden days creepy at all in and of themselves. But their scary stuff, even when done in a comedic fashion like this, fills me with the heebie jeebies. Frankenstein and Quasimodo and the Cheney's Phantom, for instance, on the other hand compared to Freddie Krueger or Predator - no comparison. Leatherface scared me when I was a kid because I hadn't seen much other modern scary characters because my parents wouldn't let me see such things. Somehow I did manage to see Leatherface somewhere once and he was scary. But I did have a lot of exposure to old scary movies because we had a channel that would show the old-time scary movies - often even from the silent years - late at night when my parents couldn't control what I watched. As I got older and saw more and more modern visions of scariness and I grew to find most of it laughable and even Leatherface still holds a twinge of creepiness in me only because I remember being creeped out by him once, but not anymore. But the old stuff? Scares the Bejebas out of me every time. I've even seen documentary footage of the History of Halloween and old black and white footage of kids before mass-produced costumes, when they had to be homemade and they nearly always fill me with dread far beyond what anything they come up with nowadays does. In credit to this film, I find even the "human" characters truly creepy because they're not truly human in appearance. They have creepy makeup on too. I do make an exception for Alien though. Alien has always kinda creeped me out. Probably because his features are kind of unique. All the other details of the modern scary characters seem to be amalgams of one another. This whole film I found hard to watch only because it creeped me out so bad, even though on a technical level it was amazing that they were able to pull off the effects they did so early on. I applaud the makers of this film. The only reason I couldn't watch it to the end was I just got too creeped out.

    Fascinating to see that many of the tropes used in this early film are still in common use over 100 years later. The creativity and technical skills are groundbreaking. The early pioneers were creating a whole new vocabulary of film, the audiences had to learn a whole new language to understand and interpret the images. The effects are iboth ambitious and impressive

    Important to remember that at the time, seeing something with your own eyes that wasn't real was a novel, and foreign concept, roughly the equivalent to if you saw these things IRL right in front of you. If I saw a performer make a chair vanish with no cover, transition or slight of hand, right in front of me, I would react exactly like this audience originally did.

    I was wondering the same thing. The film Metropolis had a fully scored soundtrack but wasn't actually recorded by anyone until 2001 according to Wikipedia. There's a huge list of artists that have done their own interpretations over the years. I had a gig playing a vintage theater organ back in the day and I would just play whatever felt appropriate or just make stuff up - little vamps to kill time, maybe throw a quote of something familiar in there. I think it was much the same back in the day. Silent films may have been distributed with sheet music scores but different theaters would have had different available instrumentation - and talent. If you saw it out in the boonies you might get Elmer playing chopsticks along to it 😄

    How the hell did they do that part at 2:58 in 1907? It almost looks like stop-motion but I start to wonder how this kind of fluency could even be done back then, even the best stop motion films nowadays are or as fluent or not even as fluent as this. If this is about being impressed, I agree with another commenter here, these Marvel special effects have become a joke with how boring they have become in combination with bad stories and without actual props (there is a reason why the special effects in Jurassic Park look so good), but this simply makes me wonder how they did it.

    The impressive thing isn't so much the smoothness (that's a feature of the upscaler/frame interpolator), but, rather, that the original editor managed to splice all those frames together in a way that is still naturally fluid when up-rendered via AI algorithm. I can imagine some scraggled guy with bloodshot eyes sitting at a cutting table, poring over and trying to glue together a bunch of frames.

    Stop motion was being done as early as 1898, with the film, "The Humpty Dumpty Circus". And yes, they were very good at it, especially French filmmakers at the time. They took their time. And 100% agreed, practical effects, when done well, beat CGI every time.
