For example, in one shot a statue of a man may be smiling, and in another shot the statue will be frowning. This can be used as a Funny Background Event, but is often used in horror, and can possibly be a source of Paranoia Fuel. Sub-trope of Anomalous Art and Spooky Painting, possibly a Sister Trope to Offscreen Reality Warp. May overlap with Expressive Accessory. See also Portrait Painting Peephole. |

In Batman: Arkham Asylum, there is the visitor center. A hall, seen entirely in first person, with no access to detective mode , which leads to a window through which you can only see a mannequin dressed like the Joker with a TV for a head, showing messages by the Joker himself. Creepy enough? Each time you turn and look back at it, it changes poses! Of course, that happens because that's no mannequin, but the REAL Joker sitting there just to mess with you | |

Billy Summers: While Billy is using a cabin close to where the Overlook Hotel used to be as his writing room, he notices how a picture of the hedge animals that used to be outside the hotel keeps changing, with the animals moving positions or getting closer to the camera. Much like how the actual hedge animals did in The Shining. | |

In Five Days A Stranger: There is a painting in the dining room of Roderick Defoe. Each day, the man in the painting gets older and older. By day four, it's a corpse. By day five, the painting is blank except for a blood splatter. Another example is the landscape painting in a different room. Every so often, a dark, vaguely-human figure appears on the horizon. It's subtle enough that most people don't notice. The painting was done by Matthew Defoe, one of the first deaths linked with the manor's past. Its origin is explored further in Trilby's Notes. |

In the PlayStation game D, once the player, as Laura, has started the second disc (after the Indiana Jones-esque boulder escape) Laura can walk over to an innocent looking painting of an indifferent-looking girl. Upon pressing the action button, the girl in the painting will inexplicably smile (with a non-lipped laugh) before the painting flips to a clue for the next in-room puzzle before it goes back to the same girl who goes right back to looking indifferent. | |

In Super Castlevania IV in the gallery level there are two types of paintings that are notable. Both of similar looking old woman. One if you pass it, it will mumble something inaudible which summons bats to attack you. The other will reach down and try to grab you. Unless you try to pass them they both seem like perfectly normal paintings. | |

In Eternal Darkness, after each level (interpreted as Alex Roivas reading a page of the Tome of Eternal Darkness), her sanity will have decreased a bit more and more. A serene mountain landscape hanging on the hallway will warp into a hellish landscape of torment when this happens. It can also happen in the cathedral level; if Paul's or Peter's sanity level drops very low, one of the pictures in the side room near the cathedral's entrance will turn into a picture of a zombie. |

Dungeon Keeper Ami features this in an interesting way. When her dungeon is under direct attack by the dark god Crowned Death things start falling apart or warp in eerie ways as his rot-everything power infects them. Strangely, it is noted that parts of her Dungeon under observation are more reluctant to succumb to the effect. | |

Then the sweets on the screen begin changing into medical supplies. Then Ai gets a frightened look on her face as Yuki begins gradually dragging her off the screen. Then Yuki's human appearance changes to that of a skeleton. Then the screen goes completely blank with both Yuki and Ai gone... | |

A very minor case in Young Frankenstein. A scowling portrait of Victor Frankenstein is highly visible in Fredrick's room. When Frederick finds his grandfather's instructions and decides to continue his work, a lightning-illuminated close-up shows the portrait looking very pleased. Related is the joke of Igor's hump moving from one shoulder to another. | |

A game on the official website for Garfield called Scary Scavenger Hunt had a painting in one of the early rooms that depicted a man sitting in a chair, but the picture shows too little to know who it is.

The Twilight Zone (1985): In "The Hunters", Dr. Klein studies the paintings found on the walls of the recently discovered prehistoric cave. After a week, she notices that one of them has changed. According to a photograph, a figure who was previously on the right of a depiction of a ceremonial altar is now on the left. She assures the sheriff that she can tell that the paintings are genuine because of her extensive experience in the area. That night, Dr. Klein realizes that all of the figures have disappeared from the walls, having entered the real world. One of them kills her with a spear. When the sheriff enters and discovers her body, he sees that the figures moving on the walls before his eyes. Dr. Klein's body then disappears from the cave and a figure representing it appears on one of the walls. In order to defeat the threat posed by the ghosts of the prehistoric hunters, the sheriff washes the figures away. | |

Mrs. Munson talks to her dead husband's portrait in The Ladykillers (2004) by the Coen brothers, and while the portrait never talks back, it does react to the events around it (most obviously with an expression of surprise at an explosion, and a satisfied smirk at a Karmic Death). | |

Education for Death: A Nazi-run classroom is shown to have smiling portraits of Adolf Hitler, Hermann Göring and Joseph Goebbels hanging on the walls. When Hans gets in trouble for expressing sympathy for a rabbit that got killed by a fox, he looks up and sees their faces staring down at him in disapproval. Finally, after Hans tearfully rescinds his answer and denounces the rabbit as a weak coward that deserved to die, the Hitler portrait is smiling once again and winks at the audience. | |

In The Facts in the Case of Mister Hollow, an Occult Detective examines a photo of four figures at a campsite for evidence of paganism. The campsite photo first appears simply examined in detail, then the camera zooms in to a degree and angle impossible to achieve if the photograph remains two-dimensional, craning to reveal the reflection in a car's sideview mirror as though the viewer had stepped inside the photo rather than looked at it. From that point onward, elements change through the course of various dizzying zooms, with facial expressions altered, limbs positioned differently and other figures revealed in reflected surfaces and hidden behind trees. The film is vague as to how much the changes represent the investigator piecing the story together, and how much is the explicit manifestation of the paranormal. | |

During the inspection, the faces in the photoes become freaky with solid white eyes, scaring the holder and making them drop the photo on the floor. | |

In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Laura Palmer describes her feelings of loneliness and isolation by saying that "the angels won't save you because they've all gone away." In a later scene, she glances at a painting of an angel serving food to some children... and the angel suddenly vanishes right before her eyes. It returns in person after Laura is murdered, to comfort her and, presumably, guide her to some kind of afterlife. | |

An iconic example is The Picture of Dorian Gray. The eponymous portrait changes when no one looks at it, and its first change is a subtle alteration in the expression. Most of the remaining changes are more obvious. The character depicted by the portrait doesn't change at all—in appearance, anyway. | |

In The 7th Guest, several paintings in the Stauf Mansion change in various ways, from one where a pair of hands attempt to push through the canvas, to a picture of a boy that talks and bares some vampire fangs at you, and a large portrait of Henry Stauf himself which, after a puzzle of altering his face is solved, shows Stauf's head slowly warping out of the painting and trying to attack the player. | |

Münchhausen: Not played as creepy, but as part of the light comic fantasy setting. In the opening scene, a portrait of the Baron winks at the camera. When the Baron admires Cagliostro's portrait of a nude woman as seen from behind, Cagliostro has the woman in the portrait turn to face them. And at the end, a portrait of the Baron comes alive and blows out a servant's candles. | |

By first glance, the front of the box depicts a family and their dog playing the game and having a good time, but when Remy looks at it after the Greens begin to get in a war over the rules, the faces of the family on the box suddenly change into angry, feuding expressions, realizing how destructive the game is and it's supposed to cause feuds. | |

Played for horror in Clive Barker's Undying where, near the beginning of the game is a large painting of all the Covenant children. Using the Scrye spell on it makes everyone except Jeremiah turn into their demonic forms on the picture, the exact same forms you have to bossfight one-by-one later in the game. As for Jeremiah, he's simply decapitated in the picture... foreshadowing the exact manner in which he dies. Both times. | |

VeggieTales: In one episode, Larry the Cucumber has a paper bag mask which changes expressions based on the wearer's expression. Bob the Tomato notices it, and is very freaked out by it. It is later hinted that the mask doesn't change because of the wearer's emotions, but the wearer's emotions change because of the mask. This also happens in the first episode. Junior stares at his family photo before his mum, dad and him (in the photo) turn into franken-asparaguses causing Junior to run up the stairs and into his room. |

Certain posters in Five Nights at Freddy's will change, and they change more often the further you get in the game. Children's fan art will become crying faces (or vanish entirely, leaving 'IT'S ME' written on the walls), management's posters will turn into newspaper articles about a mysterious Serial Killer who lured children into a back room and murdered them, wearing an animatronic suit, and the poster of Freddy in the left hall will occasionally change to show Freddy pulling his head off, or a yellow version of Freddy's face without eyes, which will trigger a slumped-over yellow Freddy suit to appear in your office, where he'll crash your game unless you bring up the monitor again. | |

On this very site In the forums for Halloween 2012, a system was implemented for the forum avatars that had this effect. When first viewed the avatar pictures are normal, but when you scroll offscreen then return to them, the picture is replaced with a random picture of something scary. Among these include a Weeping Angel, demonic Regan, the Slender Man, and Cthulhu. There were also a few humorous ones like a sprite of Cofagrigus and a Weeping Angel with a "ಠ_ಠ" smiley for a face. It was popular enough to inspire the special image for this very page. | |

Then when Patrick denies it, the picture is seen again, only this time the parents are frowning. In "Sentimental Sponge", SpongeBob uses Gary to clean a portrait of an old-looking Patrick, causing it to change to one of him smiling and looking fully clean. |

After murdering his ailing uncle, the nephew realizes that his uncle's painting of the family cemetary (where the uncle is buried) is changing every time he sees it, and it's showing his uncle rising from the grave...The butler, who both wants to avenge his old master and take the inheritance from the nephew, is gaslighting him with multiple paintings to drive him crazy. It works, and the nephew falls down the stairs to his death in the grip of insanity. As the butler gloats in triumph some time later, he watches in horror as the painting starts changing on its own right before his eyes. It's showing the nephew rising from the grave... | |

Amnesia: The Dark Descent: Paintings found in Castle Brennenburg change depending on the player character's sanity. Under normal conditions, the portrait of Baron Alexander depicts him as an old long-haired gentleman; if the player's sanity is low, then the portrait's face becomes melted and monstrous - possibly revealing Alexander's true face. The castle's other paintings also appear to change depending on your sanity level; this usually manifests as distortion in the figures' faces and the addition of skeletons in the scene. This makes for excellent Paranoia Fuel, just like everything else in the game. | |

Take the time to observe it, and you'll see that Mary mummifies from a young woman and a skeleton, and then back again. Not that surprising, considering you only traipse through areas that are, or have been, under the Cabal's influence. | |

I'm On Observation Duty has anomalies that you have to keep a watchful eye for, including some that alter the content of paintings within the houses you watch. Rarely, you may be able to spot them change right in front of your eyes instantaneously! | |

The photo of the couple in Serena will change according to what/how much the protagonist has remembered. There's also a framed poem on the wall that will change depending on the current tone of what he's discovered. | |

Two in Spec Ops: The Line: In one chapter there is a giant tarp with Col. Konrad's face on it stretched across a building, which you can see from the beginning of the level. When you get closer to it near the end of the level, it has changed into a mundane advertisement for a pre-sandstorm circus act. In another, a double staircase you must climb is set around a tree which is in full bloom. When you reach the top and turn around, however, the tree is completely barren. Both of these are good indications that your character, Cpt. Walker, doesn't have the strongest grip on reality to begin with, and foreshadows just how mentally unstable he's going to become. | |

The Arrangement: Done with photographs, as just one of several surreal effects in the movie. Florence stumbles across some hidden photos of Eddie and Gwen cavorting at the beach. She tears them up and then flings them down on Eddie's desk. The images in the pictures are then shown to move. (The movie doesn't definitively say whether or not Eddie is a wizard.) | |

In One, Two, Three, Jimmy Cagney is throwing a wild bash for three Russian commissars in the Russian zone in Berlin. While the music is playing, his hot secretary/mistress is dancing on a table and people are stomping, a giant picture of Khrushchev slips out of its frame revealing the picture of Stalin it is covering. | |

In The Witches, one of the children is cursed to live in a painting. No one ever sees her move, but she lives her entire life in the painting, even aging gradually into an old woman, and then disappearing altogether. | |
