# Movie Family Portraits The Griswolds, Lundegaards, Torrances By Stefanie Hutson | Published 2008-08-26 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/movie-family-portraits References: [secretfunspot.blogspot](http://secretfunspot.blogspot.com/2008/08/this-time-its-personal.html) 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](http://www.crazy4cult.com/) art show. So far, the artist, Kirk Demarais, has completed the Griswolds, the Lundegaards, and the Torrances. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Movie-inspired Artwork:** Opportunity to create and showcase unique, movie-inspired artwork for art shows and exhibitions. - **Nostalgia Art:** Creating portraits of iconic movie characters in nostalgic poses presents an opportunity for art galleries and museums to tap into the nostalgia market. - **Retro Pop Culture:** Capturing and showcasing iconic pop culture moments in retro style provides business opportunities for merchandise, collectibles and exhibitions. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Creating and showcasing movie-inspired art is a significant opportunity for artists, galleries and museums. - **Retail and Merchandising:** Creating and selling merchandise featuring retro pop culture can have a high demand in the nostalgia market. - **Entertainment and Media:** Creating exhibitions, showcases and other forms of media that highlights retro pop culture can attract audiences interested in nostalgia. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Movie-Themed Art NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-kyser.md) - [Horror-Themed Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-stays-club.md) - [AI-Generated Christmas Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-posters.md) - [Haunting Film-Based Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deetz-residence.md) - [Spooky Slasher Movie Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-studios-halloween-horror-nights.md) - [Cult Movies-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/film-club-collection.md) - [Horror-Themed Overnight Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warner-bros-icons-of-horror.md) - [Gothic Puzzle Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/addams-family-lego.md) - [Spooky Charming Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crown-paw.md)
