The Haunted House (orange) Print

his is part of The Haunted House series of 4 original drawings. The drawings are based on the French silent movie The Haunted House, 1908 and was directed by Segundo de Chomón. Synopsis: of the movie: Three people, evidently travelling across the countryside, are caught in the rain. They spot a house that, frankly, doesn’t look too inviting. Between bolts of lightning, a trio of witches can be seen flying through the sky. One bolt strikes the house and it’s transformed into a googly-eyed face. Inside, the travellers are immediately taunted by spectral beings of various sorts — finding their belongings moving around on their own, and their coats and hats standing up and walking away. They sit down to a meal. A knife lifts itself and slices the sausage and bread. The cups slide into place and an invisible hand pours out the coffee and drops sugar cubes into each. It turns ugly when the house starts spinning and the travellers are flung to the ground. They seek shelter under the covers of the bed, but the back wall fades away and a giant demon appears that sweeps them up in one hand. In the forest, he leaves them dangling from a high tree branch.
