Released under different titles in France--and not surprisingly, often confused with its analogous 1896 movie, "
The House of the Devil (1896)"--Georges Méliès' Haunted Castle is considered, by all means, a remake. Once more, there are a plethora of supernatural manifestations and threatening apparitions, including ghosts, a creepy skeleton, a teleporting chair, and of course, the prince of darkness himself, however, this brief representation of the eternal battle between Good and Evil inserts an armoured phantom, and above all, is painstakingly coloured by hand. Nevertheless, who wins in the end?
