    It's definitely a fucking movie. So it's hard to find out which one is the original first movie, this or The Haunted Castle, but this one is similar in the case it uses jump cuts and props. The only thing that hurts this is it looks like there is a usage of black face. Obviously, it was a different time, but if we view the movie on how it is NOW, and not how it was back then, that does take some points for me....
