Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Hitchcoc A couple of Egyptians stand in front of the Sphinx, probably at Giza. The one is missing his wife and prays to the gods to return her. He has her skeleton and, sure enough, through magic, she is returned. Her skeleton regains its body. But things don't always turn out the way we want, especially when the gods are involved. It has a dramatic conclusion.

Leofwine_draca Another of George Melies short films, this one lasting only a couple of minutes. The protagonist is an Egyptian prince grieving after the death of his beloved wife. Desperate to hold her in his arms once more, he employs the services of a mystic in order to make it happen, and the scene is set for a series of supernatural events...Once again the director jams as many camera tricks as possible into such a short space of time. We are treated to such delights as a spooky skeleton standing up and dancing. Its head then floats off and it eventually turns into a beautiful young woman before turning back into a skeleton. These effects are still enjoyable to watch after all these years. The background image of the Sphinx also looks very realistic. Melies once again impresses his audience with his skilled camera-work.

JoeytheBrit This is another typically macabre little number from visionary French pioneer Georges Melies which, while head and shoulders above the work of most of his contemporaries, is fairly inconsequential when compared to much of his output from the same year. It's a one-scene shot set against the sphinxes of Egypt and features the resurrection of a dead princess at the behest of an Egyptian prince. The princess's skeleton is removed from her coffin and brought to life by a magician. Shrouded in veils, she dances around manically for a while, performing unnatural contortions before turning back into a skeleton when her lovelorn prince attempts to kiss her. Enjoyable enough, but only average for Melies.

antropos01 Two minute show about a magician who takes a skeleton, and brings it to life. When he throws it at the poor girl who sits besides and watches in horror, the movie reaches its top. The sfx of this movie consists of very much noticeable clips, but it's really entertaining for those interested in the history of movies.
