A Dreadful Night (1905) Segundo de Chomón



This film by creator/director Segundo de Chomón was released in France during the silent film era, circa 1905. This short comedic film shows a man getting ready for bed and attempting to go to sleep. His bed magically disappears as he is about to lay on it a few times. Then appears on it's end and he falls out. It later disappears and a few men appear to be hoisting the man into the air on his blanket. After the men disappear he finally manages to lie down but the the room magically explodes leaving the ceiling and wall blown open. He is obviously quite surprised and shocked.
