Well people were afraid to make horror films so I am pretty sure it wouldn't have been made in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. I'm talking 30, 40 years.
If Melies didn't make those 700 horror films the films in the 1900-1910's would have had no courage whatsoever. You know horror films at that time were made in Europe, and Melies is French. Melies was a famous person at the time. He had his own theater, and he had quite a famous background at being a Magician.
Also Melies kind of kicked off what real films should look like, and that films deserve alot of creativity, and effort. He introduced us to the term "LET THE CAMERA BE THE AUDIENCE". He also introduced special effects. GREAT special effects which were AMAZING, like things floating in the air, and disapearing into thin air.
