The Haunted Castle 1896 Silent Film. Early Geoge Melies filmed.
Le Manoir du diable (English: The Haunted Castle) is a three-minute-long French film directed by Georges Méliès. The film contained many traditional pantomime elements and was intentionally meant to amuse people, rather than frighten them. Nonetheless, it is considered to be the first horror film.
In English, this film has been known as The Haunted Castle, The Devil's Castle, The Devil's Manor, and The Manor of the Devil. It was released on Christmas Eve, 1896, at the Theatre Robert Houdin, 8 boulevard des Italiens, Paris.

Primo montaggio della storia, prima vittima di pirateria, primo film horror, prima retrospettiva cinematografica della storia. Della serie "nostalgia di epoche mai vissute". Fuck yeah.

Is this the first 'horror' film ever made?

@vermillion303 Yes, you'd have to consider that most films before this point were very simply they had no real stories. It was just a lot of clips of someone dancing, maybe juggling, simple very short videos.
