I couldn’t imagine myself being an audience member at one of Gaspard Robertson’s “Fantasmagorie” shows in 1797 because I’m not really a fan of supernatural horror. As for my reaction? I’d imagine as an audience member, I would’ve been impressed by the creativity in the show, but during that time I probably would’ve been terrified of the magic and very unsettling atmosphere of the show. Another form of entertainment that would get the same reaction out of me today would be modern day horror movies because with modern technology, animation is so much more refined, and it can produce the same reaction now as it did back then.
