Phantasmagoria

What was the Phantasmagoria?  After reading this article, write a reflection on what elements of the Phantasmagoria became adopted into the development of movies.

Phantasmagoria loosely translates to "a gathering of ghosts." These spooky shows were inspired by Paul Philidor’s magic lantern shows, but they added a slight dark twist to them. Multiple layers of painted glass panes were added to give the illusion of moving monsters, projected on the wall. The elements of these shows were adopted into the development of movies, as music made by glass harmonicas were used during these shows to enhance the visuals being shown.
