about

"I am only satisfied if my spectators, shivering and shuddering, raise their hands or cover their eyes out of fear of ghosts and devils dashing towards them." These were the words of the impresario Étienne-Gaspard "Robertson" Robert, whose Phantasmagoria combined traditional stagecraft lighting and sound effects with the innovative use of Magic Lantern projectors mounted on wheels to entertain Parisians in the 1790s seeking distraction from the turmoil of the French Revolution. It can now be recognized as a precursor to movie theaters and theme park attractions.
