Early Film Scavenger Hunt

I found an early silent film called "The Haunted Castle" by George Melies. I thoroughly enjoyed it because an element of fantasy was introduced with the elaborate costumes and special effects, which I've never seen before from other films of the time. I was surprised that this short motion picture included special effects like smoke and the disappearing and reappearing of objects, because I didn't know the technology was around yet to make that possible. I thought the filmmaker did a good job with the overall story because it was easy to understand the dilemma of the main character as he tried to escape the spirits, skeletons, and witches that kept appearing. While searching for a video, I found that all of the ones I browsed over didn't have sound, and they all had a background that remained the same throughout the duration of the video. Although Melies' film had both these attributes, I still found it entertaining because there was so much action going on in the foreground, that it wasn't necessary to change the background, and on top of that there was a new surprise every couple of seconds.
