One Way to Camouflage Those Creases
On the suggestion of other reviewers, I cut these pictures out individually and mounted them on poster board. I used a heavier duty black board that I got at Wal-Mart for .97 each. I opted to used double-stick tape around the edges instead of glue. As double-sided tape can be a pain to use when positioning things that can't necessarily be lifted up once stuck down, I used the type with backing on one side.I didn't like the deep fold lines that would NOT come out even after trying online suggestions of ironing with low heat in between two pieces of fabric, using a hairdryer, and putting them in the dryer on a low setting. I was feeling a bit disappointed when it dawned on me...if I can't get those deep wrinkles out, maybe I can camouflage them by adding more wrinkles?Here's what I did:1) cut out picture2) crinkle into a ball and work it until the creases are sufficiently camouflaged3) un-crinkle the picture and flatten it back out4) put double-sided tape around the four edges5) remove backing strip along one taped edge and position onto poster board6) continue removing backing strips from tape and positioning picture on the poster board -- because the plastic has been crinkled, the edges will no longer be perfectly straight and will take some coaxing to position7) cut poster board around pictureFor the pictures that were not square, I used a tape runner. First I traced around the picture on the black poster board with a white pencil. I ran the tape runner around the inside edges of the outline. I then began positioning the picture onto the poster board from the top down. Then I cut it out.Not a perfect process, but I'm happy with the results! Aside from cropping, I didn't enhance my photos before uploading so they can be seen as they actually look.

Thank goodness for reviews!
Thank goodness for reviews & reviewers! Even knowing how it looks,I was still disappointed when I received this. However, I bought foam board(black) from the dollar store, used a super sharp scissor to cut each picture out, crinkled it up, smoothed it out and glued it with a new glue stick then used a cutter to cut the excess foam away. With the oval witch, I simply centered it in the middle of the foam board and gave that one the place of honor above my fireplace. Crinkling each picture up was scary but it definitely improved it in my view and even gave it a vintage look. I was surprised by how large these pictures are, too. Two sheets of large size pictures. All in all, I'm satisfied for the price. Spooky pics are hard to find and add a lot to my haunted porch and fireplace settings. As long as you are aware these need some help to look decent, you should be satisfied.

Cut them out and use year after year
These are awesome! We go over-the-top when decoration for Halloween at my house and this really adds to our other decor. Like other reviewers, I also cut out each picture to put up separately. I decided to frame some, but not others. They all have a frame design around them, so actual frames are not required, but I felt it added to the authentic feel to have some real frames around them. There are many large sized, or irregular shaped portraits (oval, circular, etc.) that I could not find frames for. Even with only 1/4 of the portraits in real frames and the others hung up with the frame outlines, these look really cool in my hallway.The product arrives folded in a sealed bag. This means that there will be wrinkles/lines in some of the pictures. I was able to easily get the lines out by flattening the portraits inbetween 2 heavy books overnight. For the more stubborn wrinkles, I ran a warm, wet dishcloth over them and then glued all portraits to heavy cardstock before framing or just hanging them straight on the wall.I would recommend this product-especially for the price! Great looking decorations that would add to anyone's space.

Inexpensive, creepy and haunted manorish.
These are a cool way to add creepiness to a Halloween decor. Read previous reviews about the wrinkles in the plastic ( This product is a series of printed images on a whole sheet / sheets of plastic. Rather like a plastic tablecloth. ) The reviews mentioned the fold line creases if the plastic, and mounting the images on a foam core board. Thought I would treat these images like wallpaper and used a wallpaper smoother to set them on the foam core after I had sprayed the foam core with a spray adhesive. Thought the results were really good. Most of the creases can not be seen, and if they do, they are pretty faint. Love how inexpensive ( dollar store black foam core sheets. Can easily get two on each sheet. ) these were to do, but they are gonna add such a big impact to my Halloween decor.

Impressive
I love the way it looks. The material is rather flimsy plastic. Similar to the one used in those disposable table "cloth" but when you look at it mounted in the wall it looks really nice; albeit a little shiny.The pictures come in two giant sheets. Becuase I wanted to re-arrange them differently to how they come in the sheet I cut them all out individually. The plastic cuts farily easy.Be careful when removing them. The plastic is so flimsy that the first one I tried to remove broke.NOTE: In the attached pictures there is a frame of a creepy Mona Lisa. That one is not part of this item, but one that I had from years before. In fact, it's the reason I bough this. So that I didn't had that lone picture on my wall during October.

fun decorations
This comes out of the package in two big sheets--I cut them up so I could use the different pictures throughout the room rather than use them all in one place. They are folded up plastic and don't completely lie flat, which detracts from the overall look. I received a lot of comments about how creepy they were--exactly what should be said about Halloween decorations.

Great with a little modification.
As other reviewers have stated, it is creased and looks bad out of the package. However, I did as suggested and wrinkled them up completely and glued them to black foam board and they looked great. I used glue stick as suggested and it didn't mess up the ink on the plastic at all. I am not sure about the durability, but at the price I got it at I can get new ones every year if I have to.

vraiment parfait
Sur les coups j'ai cru que c'était simplement 2 tableaux à coller au mur.Grande surprise quand j'ai ouvert le paquet : ceux sont 2 grands panneaux en plastique transparent avec une dizaine de tableaux imprimer dessus. ils font vraiment leur effet.Si bien que certains de mes invités ont cru que j'avais accroché de vrais tableaux au mur.J'ai collé les deux, ça doit faire entre 1 m 50 et 2 m.L'électricité statique n'a pas accroché sur mon mur j'ai mis un peu de ruban adhésif ils sont très facile à installer et pour les ranger je vous conseille de les rouler.

Holes in product
Seems like a nice product but there were two holes in it when it arrived. The Package was intact though.

Bon produit, fait son effet d'horreur dans une salle tamisée !
Les portraits font peur donc c'était super pour Halloween. La décoration vient sur 2 grandes feuilles de plastique avec les portraits les uns à côté des autres comme sur les photos, mais à vous de décider de les garder ainsi ou de les couper en plusieurs portraits pour en mettre sur les murs de différentes pièces de la maison avec du scotch. Léger bémol: avec les plis de la feuille dans le paquet, certains portraits ne sont pas plats (on voit le pli), et pas possible de le repasser au fer bien sûr. Facile à ranger et re-utiliser l'an prochain.

la galerie des portraits
Je me suis servit de cette décoration pour faire une ambiance Harry Potter sur les murs de ma maison. La galerie des portrait.C'est un film électrostatique en deux parties, il tient tout seul sur les murs, pas besoin de punaise ou de scotch.Vous pouvez découper chaque cadre pour les placer à des endroits différents ou bien pour tout simplement l'utiliser comme je l'ai fait dans son ensemble.Je recommande vraiment ce produit qui fait toute de suite une ambiance très "sympa" sur vos murs de chez vous, pour des événements comme terreur, halloween, maison hanté.
