The Devilish Tenant (Le Locataire diabolique) it is a 1909 film by Méliès:    • Georges Méliès  

A traveler finds accommodation in an inn, he is placed in a room without furniture and still being restored so, annoyed, he throws out the window the painter who is painting the walls. Alone, the man pulls out of his suitcase a sheet from which he reveals a table, a trunk, a bedside table, an armchair, a fireplace, a clock, two candlesticks, a piano, some paintings and two large mirrors. The strange gentleman sets the table and, again from the trunk, he takes out some chairs and then his guests. Suddenly the hotel keeper bursts in and runs away scared at the sight of so many people. At the end of the meal, the gentleman sits down and reads the newspaper. The usher arrives with the bill to be paid, but the man refuses to pay and flees the room. At this point all the objects in the room come to life and the distraught caretaker runs to his wife. Meanwhile in the room the magician is packing his bags, then he pulls out a staircase and escapes from the window. The caretaker, accompanied by the hotel owner and a policeman, enters the room and finds only the bedside table: in anger he hits it with a broom making it explode and causing the collapse of the ceiling.
