I'm thinking whoever created the The Dancing Pig,wanted to show off how good the puppetry was of the pig out,so the filmed facial expressions you didn't see in the main part of the film.
With the pig costume, it almost looks like the actor inside the puppet was showing off how much it could do in regards to facial expressions. I'd wager that it wasn't intended to be in the 'film', or at least genuinely wasn't a part of the prior film, just from what I can assume is the context. That said, for such an early time period, that costume is REALLY well made. I can only imagine how much effort was put into the thing, gosh...
I agree, I had the same thought when I saw it. I believe it's possible that it was simply intended to show off what the costume was able to do, sort of like an early version of Animatronics.
The teeth are actually pretty realistic, I remember doing dissection in biology class and we got to see how pigs have fully erupted teeth before they are even born...
I'm sure the frames at the end of the Dancing Pig were just to show off the rigging in that costume. If I spent all that time on a costume - I'd wanna show it off too. It's incredibly expressive!
That ending scene in the Pig movie looks to be simply a montage of shots showcasing how complex and "realistic" the puppet was. I'm sure back then, that puppet was an incredible achievement in special effects and they simply wanted to show off how articulate the puppet could be since it wasn't shown in the sequence itself.
For a creepy movie it did have the kind of happy ending with which we're familiar - just with a different sort of people. Maybe that was the message behind it - we're different, but the same.
Those who gripe about "Freaks", including those who don their Protector of the People costumes, have obviously never seen it. It's the so-called "normal" people who are bad, the freaks, and the real life "freaks" in the circus might strike folks as a bit odd, but they are portrayed in nothing but a positive light. You can't help but feel compassion for them when they finally get even with the baddies, who had it comin'. And for those who aren't aware, Olga Baclanova's makeup at the end is a resurrected working of something Lon Chaney devised when he worked with Tod Browning in "West of Zanzibar". The footage of Chaney working as "The Human Duck" was discarded, Chaney passed on in 1930, and presumably, Browning gave a nod to his old friend by reusing something that hadn't "officially" been used. For what it's worth, just MHO, if there's something "creepy" about the movie, it's that the two little people who were love interests were played by brother and sister, Harry and Daisy Earles (aka "Doll").
"Freaks" has been a favorite of mine since I first saw it about 25 years ago. I celebrate it as brilliantly done and bold in the face of budding film censorship in the early 1930s. A lot of Tod Browning went into this film in particular, but certain themes ran through all of his movies and became the signature of his work. Never before Freaks, nor in any film since, has such an extraordinary cast been assembled and portrayed with such humanity and tenderness. I love this film, and I love Tod Browning for it.
I've never understood how the Peanut Vendor is creepy--- Like come on the guy's just tryin' to sell you some peanuts before he leaves, give him a break - m -
I appreciate that you include the names and dates of these movies. There are other channels that have tried talking about them, but usually just describe what the plot is.
Saw this in my recommendations, clicked on it because of the thumbnail. Great list, I have heard of such movies like "Freaks" and "Un Chien Andelou", but most of these I've never heard of. I think the one that stood out for me the most was "The Dancing Pig", as freaky as that pig looked, the costume work looked both ambitious and ahead of its time.
This was a very educational video! I love horror movies but had never heard of any of these before which is a shame, so I know now what I'll be busy watching :)
I think that goddamn Peanut Vendor puppet would make either version of the girl from The Ring just back away slowly. Jesus Christ, I'm a grown adult horror junkie and that thing is terrifying.
@@dougstyles5091 Once I left the house at five a.m. on a dark winter morning to walk to the train station. I lived in a remote unincorporated area with few street lights. When I got to the street, I could see standing under the only streetlight, about fifty yards away, a motionless figure. It was standing in the centre of the road, facing in my direction. It had its head down, so that its face was facing the road, like the girl in Ringu. It was a creepy sight and for a moment I stood staring, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, without raising its head, the figure's arms shot up into the air and began waving wildly. My heart started pounding in fear, but I still couldn't move. After two or three seconds the figure, its head still lowered and its arms still waving maniacally, began running as fast as possible straight in my direction. This broke my paralysis spell, and I ran desperately back to my house, threw open the door and slammed it shut behind me, quickly locking it. I called in sick and stayed in the house until the next morning. I never saw the figure again. This is hands down the most frightening thing that's ever happened to me.
The call for help in "Au Secours" harks back to a stage routine of the Victorian era. Horror shows were popular during this time, and in one stage routine, a man gets a phone call from his wife. During the call, an intruder murders the woman, and her husband hears her screams and death throes over the phone. Oh, those crazy Victorians!
"Freaks" was very curious. Deeply honest and sad, at a time when empathy and care for the different and disabled was pretty bleak, it showed the hard truth. Truth is, real horror and documentary films aren't common enough. It would be nice if we appreciated "scary truth" more these days.
yesp and now france is seen : dante is the profile at the right side of france . what did burn? notre dame? and many churches in france? that must have been god in france who have spoken in dantespeak lol : mottofrankrijkaard spoken is a goduchtwing world in 1 word do you notice that there is near no difference between the word word and world? the l is for evil and live and than you have written a cross
Luis Buñuel is a spanish director. Even thou his films have french names (given the artists predilection for the french audience and art scene in the early 20th Century)
#140, here. i can't comment on numbers 2-10, as the OP's commentary about 'The Peanut Vendor' warranted the down vote; Anyone who thinks that the target demographic of early animation was kids, was either lax on the research, or lacks a sense of history and context.
Awesome video as always, Deburke. Glad to see new material instead of the rehashed crap other channels are showing. BRAVO MY BROTHER!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Haxan is a 1922 Swedish movie in my opinion is The Scariest thing I have ever seen. Haxan is Swedish for witch and it is a docu-drama about medievil witch hunts. The soundtrack alone is creepy as hell. Also The Man Who Laughs is a German film made around the same time that you should check out.
Pretty sure the scene at the end of the pig video is just a filmed costume test, director/producer/editor probably laughed hysterically at the footage and spliced it in thinking others would find it just as funny. Little did that person know, that that decision would make the film go down in cinema infamy.
I watched "Freaks" back in 2010! It was such a great movie! That's one night I will never forget. And when it made in appearance in American Horror Story, I was overly joyed to watched that Season! 😃
One film from the 1930s has a really creepy ghost scene is "the Testament of Dr Mabuse" directed by Fritz Lang. Dr Mabuse's ghost looks like it came out of a nightmare.
The pig costume was great! I felt bad when she took his clothes, though... Also, I just realized that was the Todd Browning that Bowie referenced in his song.
The creepiest thing about Un chien andalou is what happened to the main actress some years after the movie was made. She committed suicide by setting herself of fire out in the street.
I don't know about "creepy", but maybe "potentially disturbing to some", and I enjoyed your video. Don't forget that people were weirded out at the end of "The Great Train Robbery" in 1903 when Justus D. Barnes fired his gun at the camera/audience.
I saw Freaks on TV back in the 1970's. I wouldn't call it a horror film - more a revenge thriller. Most of the movie however, really just showcases the various individuals starring in the Freak sideshow, and as the narrator says, shows them in a sympathetic and humane light, despite the obviously exploitative nature of the whole film.

No Peanut Vendor/Experimental Animation from 1933 wasn't directed by Dave Fleischer it was Directed by Len Lye & the Monkey is at the New Zealand Film Archive also I made a review on this short animation BTW.
Thanks for watching! Let me know which one freaked you out the most, see ya next week!
Freaks, definitely. would love to see Page of Madness
Please re upload with subtitles, I can't hear it:(
I'm thinking whoever created the The Dancing Pig,wanted to show off how good the puppetry was of the pig out,so the filmed facial expressions you didn't see in the main part of the film.
has "gone" on. (I think)
I am shocked that 1922 Haxan didn't make your list... But, of your list I like Freaks, I actually own a copy.
That pig costume is amazingly realistic! Especially when you consider it was made in 1907.

Agreed. It's very impressive.

Ok good I’m not the only one lol
Did any of you know the girl from A Page of Madness is still alive! She is a 110 years old
Yes she is - her name is Eiko Minami, and she was a dancer.
Jesus Christ that's old.
Now she’s 111.
She has passed away from the time of post but yes she is and was still living during the you tube pice

That scene of L'Inferno where Satan is eating a human being reminds me so much of Francisco Goya's painting "Saturn eating his son"
Yeah I too thought it looked very Saturnine.
I’d be surprised if it didn’t take direct inspiration from the painting
I always read saturn wrong as satan for some reason
Actually Satan was based off the god Saturn.
@@corpse00xx0 cause Satan=Saturn
Freaks is one of my favorite movies of all time glad to see it getting love on lists like this. It's a shame some of the footage was lost.
It was lost because apparently a test audience didn't like the original scene in which one of the main characters was castrated.
you're still naked
For a creepy movie it did have the kind of happy ending with which we're familiar - just with a different sort of people. Maybe that was the message behind it - we're different, but the same.

The pig one. The last scenes are testing the costume to make sure it is going to work and be seen on the screen working.
So it's basiclly like the Extras or Bloopers.
i guess this scene is very funny

I think it was a very important film. And still is. Even now can't really think of a film that really did what 'Freaks' set out to do.

The Peanut Vendor is probably the earliest version of Slender Man.
hes a monkey????
He's a spider monkey and he's cute!
They all are pretty creepy but very avant-garde for that time period.
I LOVE THE PEANUT VENDOR!!! I think it's absolutely adorable.
Same here
Anything from Max and Dave Fleischer will be interesting.
I appreciate that you include the names and dates of these movies. There are other channels that have tried talking about them, but usually just describe what the plot is.
"Freaks" is a beautiful film and one of the most important ones ❤️
Land Without Bread is hardly creepy. It shows disturbing poverty, which is sad, but not creepy.

Cartoons weren't commonly targeted at kids before the 1960s.
Still to this day. South park, American Dad, Family Guy, Daria and Duckman.
@@uriah9638 "To this day" makes it sound uninterrupted. Cartoons for adults were pretty rare from the 60s to 80s
The dancing pig and the HELP one creeped me out
That pig costume is amazing. I've seen very recent movies with much, much poorer effects/costumes.
This was a very educational video! I love horror movies but had never heard of any of these before which is a shame, so I know now what I'll be busy watching :)
film has come such a long way it’s amazing
It makes me wonder if 100 years from now they'll have such different technology that our movies will be seen as so strange they're creepy
