If I was an audience at one of Gaspard Robertson’s “Fantasmagorie” shows in 1797, I would honestly be horrified at the sight of something I didn’t witness before. At that era, I would have no experience of seeing images and projections of something supernatural, thus it would make me react like almost like some of the people from back in that time when they used to be at the edge of their seats. I think I would simply be just scared and have excitement as well but not take it as real because I would probably not believe in the fictional creatures even at that time; the same way I don’t believe in them in reality. One way I think its possible to awaken that same fear from people as if they are seeing it for the first time is have the theaters play the horror movies with higher volume of audio when it comes to jump scares and have creepy vibes before it so it builds up that that tension. And have low light in the room so that a cosplayer can spook them in real life.
