Nice hand coloring, and the ghost effect is kind of new.

A favorite from Melies, probably because of the Guignol/macabre-ness of it all.

Méliès burns humans to death, but he is excused as the resulting ghosts are wholly convincing apparitions. And fireballs!

Short, silly, and you just gotta admire what it took to make color back then.

Unusually dark for its time, with human sacrifice and summoning forth of spirits and whatnot.

The special effects (and story) aren't much for today's audience, but this was probably amazing to the original viewers. Melies really liked the flashy, fire-y stuff.

I'm a sucker for hand-painted coloration technique, and the ghost and flame effects are pretty impressive.
