Family portraits are always a bit unsettling. They represent fleeting moments in time where, for just a moment, no one was arguing, embarrassing anyone else, or flirting with the babysitter. These cult movie family portraits kick the creepiness up a notch by portraying waxy-faced, happy movie families just moments before all cinematic hell breaks loose.
The portraits were created as submissions for the Crazy 4 Cult art show. So far, the artist, Kirk Demarais, has completed the Griswolds, the Lundegaards, and the Torrances.
