I don’t think I could imagine myself in the audience at Gaspard Robertson’s “Fantasmagorie” shows in 1797 while it looks unique and very creative I think I would be somewhat nervous or worried depending on the show and what the story would be about, the spooky candlit room along with the ghouls would scare me with all of the creepy elements that are added to the show. My reaction to the show would most likely panicky and a little afraid since this was something that was still new to people.

I believe that Robertsons show via metalonmetalblog and his lanterns on wheels called Fantoscope changing images along with the candlelit AND adding the introduction to the afterlife. Giving it a more terrifying and creepy for the audience I think it would definitely freak a lot of others in this time with all the dark and eerie elements.
