The truth about the first horror movie ever made – Looper

Le Manoir du Diable wasn't the first comedy film, but it did have comedic elements. Unlike many modern horror films, or even early horror films released in the decades immediately following Le Manoir du Diable'sdebut, Manoir wasn't necessarily intended to terrify audiences. Mlis crafted this film to amuse viewers as well as spook them.

For instance, as the Devil's assistant plays tricks on the cavalier, he pokes him in the backside, causing him to jump in a moment of pure slapstick. At one point, the cavalier tries to sit down, only for a skeleton to appear underneath him at that very moment. When the young woman turns into an elderly crone as the cavalier kisses her hand, he's clownishly shocked. All of these moments are very physical in nature, heralding later comic cinema from the likes of the Marx Brothers and Charlie Chaplin. It seems clear that Mlis wanted to get a laugh out of his audiences, and even today, these silly moments can easily make you chuckle.
