15. Gothic Frame Lenticular Art
Tap into the love for classic haunted house vibes with gothic frame lenticular or changing art. These are decorative frames that feature a portrait that transforms into a ghastly monster or skeleton when viewed from a different angle. You can purchase bulk packs of lenticular changing portraits online, but the real value lies in how you present them. Source ornate, vintage-style plastic or wooden frames from thrift stores or dollar stores.
Paint the frames in matte black, and then use metallic wax or dry-brushing techniques with silver or gold paint to highlight the intricate, carved details, giving them a heavy, antique metal appearance. Mount the changing portrait inside the gothic frame. These look incredibly high-end and spooky, perfect for creating a “haunted gallery wall” in a customer’s home. They are a staple for Halloween party hosts and dark home decor enthusiasts, offering a great return on investment.
