If I was an audience member who lived in 1791 and was watching “Fantasmagorie”, I would’ve been terrified. I’m able to enjoy horror movies not only because I find them entertaining, but also because I know nothing that’s happening in the movie is real. During that time period, it would be very difficult to decipher what was real and what was staged. Some would probably end up traumatized considering that feeling of terror and anxiousness is a new experience. A similar feeling to this would probably still be horror movies considering production has developed greatly when it comes to special effects, camera work and sound design.
