The X-Ray Fiend

1897 · 1 min · Comédie, Horreur

Réalisé par George Albert Smith

A romantic couple are transformed into skeletons via X-Rays. The film combines two very recent innovations: Wilhelm Roentgen's discovery of X-rays in 1895, and Georges Méliès' accidental realisation of the special-effects potential of the jump-cut in 1896.
