Satan S'amuse (Satan at Play) is a 1907 French silent film directed by Segundo de Chomón. The film is spooky, filled with magical imagery, and gets bonus points for having been made over 100 years ago and being as cool as it is.

Chomón is regarded as one of the most important Spanish silent film directors, known for his camera tricks and optical illusions. You can see one of these super innovative optical illusions at 4:44 in the video, when potion bottles on a table contain miniature people inside of them.
