Uncle Josh's Nightmare
Poor Uncle Josh is trying to get to sleep, but being constantly bedevilled by a fellow in red long underwear with horns. A short early trick editing film using a stationary camera much more valuable for its historical, rather than entertainment value.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a simple spooky comedy relying entirely on a single trick—stopping the camera to change the set behind the actor. It explores the most fundamental power of editing to create a magical apparition.
What lingers after viewing is a sense of witnessing the humble origin of cinematic illusion, a historical curio rather than a narrative. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Edwin S. Porter
Best Watched
Watch as a historical curiosity, with context about early film tricks.
