A romantic couple are transformed into skeletons via X-Rays. The film combines two very recent innovations: Wilhelm Roentgen's discovery of X-rays in 1895, and Georges Méliès' accidental realisation of the special-effects potential of the jump-cut in 1896.
The X-Ray Fiend was directed by George Albert Smith.
The X-Ray Fiend runs for 1min, and was released in 1897.
