Most of these pictures are from The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland and Disneyworld. The yellowish portrait near the end is from a Ghostbusters movie.
The picture morphs into one showing a greedy relative who did away with the miser to get his money.
Here's a couple who might be decribed as mean and cheap. You'd expect that they'd be friends of the miser but that's not likely. True misers have deep disdain for those who are merely cheap.
Let us not forget the rides many interesting mini-portraits. That skull character on the left is beautifully designed.
Back to the large portraits; here's (above) Jack the Ripper.
And here's (above) Rasputin and his famous penetrating stare. Disney's good at making morphing pictures.
Here's (above) The Cat Lady....
....and here's the lady cat.
Above, Count Dracula.
Here's the morphing Medusa.
I know this guy.
Here's a concept drawing that may never have been fully painted.
I notice that the Mansion contains no "mystery" paintings, i.e. pictures that contain a hidden picture or message. Can you see the hidden picture in this (above) one?
I'll end with this (above) over-the-fireplace portrait from the Ghostbusters movie. It inspired me to consider leaving a creepy portrait of myself behind when it's my turn to kick the bucket.
It should be underlit and spooky. If I become the family patriarch my relatives would expect no less.
I'll include lots of esoteric symbols and a hint of a hidden fortune in the house. If I have greedy successors then they'll obsess over the supposed meaning of the thing.
