Does anyone know how I might get a good image of this? I’ve found a few partial shots online and watched clips but they don’t include it in it’s entirety. I realize you all probably have about the same access to such a thing as I do, but all you smarties never cease to amaze me so I figured I’d give it a try. If you haven’t guessed, IT is the theme of my Halloween decorating this year.

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you don’t have any luck, you could substitute a random **Modigliani** female portrait.

You might try a screen shot around the :20 second mark.

Without spoiling anything, how does that picture figure in the movie?

I don’t think (at least I hope) I’m not spoiling anything by saying it figures in what is, to me, the creepiest, most effective scene in the film.

I LOLed at that!! **WOOKINPANUB** , I’m guessing you want it for a Halloween decoration? That would creep me the hell out to have it permanently hanging on the walls of my house!

Hee, no kidding. The director has spoken about how the premise of being scared of a painting is based on his own childhood.I bet most of us can remember something around our or a relative’s home that freaked us out. For me, it was [Mrs. Ming](https://starstruckworld.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/chinese-girlrobin.jpg) (my Dad’s name for her; the real name is _Chinese Gir_l). I guess that’s what makes the scene so relatable, for me anyway.
