These are interesting: Pictures that change as you walk by them. Very effective for Halloween parties and such, I would think, if a bit pricey—$75 for an 11×14” print, $19 for a 5×7”.

How do they work? Well it’s not a closely guarded trade secret. The effect is created by a lenticular lens mounted to a computer interlaced print. As the viewer changes perspective he sees a different part of the interlaced image, causing the image to shift. The entire effect is completely self contained and requires no power source.

Here’s another, turned into an animated .gif:

    Andrew, are you familiar with a website called http://www.RightGoths.com? It too takes particular interest in Cthulu and Lovecraft. It is run by Ivan Groznii, who is also known as MadIvan on Free Republic. Also recommend his other site he’s entitiled RingWraith, which has his writings posted. He just recently posted a VERY good story with a Cthulu theme.

    I’ve found magic motion haunted pictures, paintings and photos, that are both cheaper and bigger than the ones you mentioned at http://www.dappercadaver.com
