Here is a 3 minute and 18 second version of it that someone has posted on youtube. It appears to end abruptly, so I'm not sure if this is even the whole thing. The IMDB page claims it to be only 2 minutes, and this is 3:18. So it could be even longer, based on the fact that the IMDB page is already proven incorrect.

If you have the means, I would capture this for your personal library before it disappears. :)

In HD, not that you will notice. English translation should be The Devil's Manor, I guess Devil was too controversial in the US! Wikipedia:
The Haunted Castle (French: Le Manoir du Diable which means "The Manor of the Devil") is a 1896 three-minute-long French film by Georges Méliès and number 78-80 on the Star Films catalog. The film contained many traditional pantomime elements and was intentionally meant to amuse people, rather than frighten them. Nonetheless, it is considered by many to be the first horror film, as well as the first vampire film.

Absolutely amazing. The 1800s must have been such a awe-inspiring time to live in. Most of the world's greatest inventions were invented in that century. Steam trains, automobiles, telephone, audio recording, photography, motion pictures, telephone, lightbulbs etc.
