48 second Horror Film

"Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat", a French film from 1896. And it's nothing more than a 48-second film of a train arriving at a station.


--What makes it a horror movie. . . and possibly the FIRST horror movie EVER. . . is the fact that when audiences in Paris first watched it, they didn't quite get the whole concept of "moving pictures".


--In fact, they were TERRIFIED, because it looked like the train was coming at them. According to legend, many even RAN SCREAMING from the theater
