The Merry Frolics of Satan

*Halloween 2025: Film XLVIII*

This as of now has got to be my favourite of Georges Méliès' work.
Of course Méliès himself must star in it and as always he is the evil/devil character and as always he is amazing. Very comical and cartoon-like but still so in a way he is seen as a threat. Thanks to the pop of colour, he really stands out among the characters because of his sharp red soaked cloak.
The set design is phenomenal with trains going over German tracks to a celestial carriage with a skeleton horse and then literally hell.
The story itself is quite basic with the whole "be careful what you wish for" shtick but it is still a beautifully crafted film by one of my all time favourite directors. Superb!

21st Watch of October 🎃😈🔥

Méliès, what kinda shit did you smoke before making your short films? I’m gonna be so honest with you as weird and as ridiculous as this is, it’s actually still pretty impressive to this day visually. Obviously some effects look dated but for the most part I was really impressed with how magical and weird it all felt. I know it’s Méliès were talking about and magic is kinda his thing but it’s still really impressive to this day I think. 

Weird ass movie, so damn weird. Basically consists of Satan going around fucking with people for 20 minutes and I loved it. Not really scary until the end cause again Satan was really just messing around but the ending with Satan torturing people in hell yeah shit got dark quick and it was a pretty spooky ending. I love weird shit so I can’t help but like this.
