An Excursion To The Moon (1908)

Over at my Scare Me On Fridays blog we are celebrating the second day of the Countdown to Halloween with a  Science Fiction theme, so here is an early Sci-Fi from Spain.  This is yet another Segundo de Chomon remake of the an earlier Melies original in English A Trip To The Moon (1902).

The Haunted House (1908)

If this looks like a Meliésé film...it's not.  It is a film by early Spanish "trick" film maker Segundo de Chomon, who, though is was influenced by Meliésé, was actually innovative in the field of set design all on his own.  And, to give him credit, he was much more narrative in his films than was Meliésé.  Happy Halloween!!
