G. A. Smith's "The Haunted Castle" of 1897 is now a lost film. In truth, the short hand-colored movie on YouTube (which is sometimes labelled as Smith's ripoff of the original Méliès 1896 classic) is in fact Méliès's own remake of his earlier film. If you hate the remake, don't blame Smith because he had nothing to do with its making. (He was, however, among buyers of it). I have no idea how people were fooled by this since both are practically identical in visual design. Smith's movie is forever lost.
