Scary House Illusion

Inspired by the Roy Lichtenstein House illusion, I created my own House Illusion. I call it “scary house illusion”. The house appears to follow you around the room. I also have a printable cutout sheet, so you can make your own - and if you close one eye, or look at it from a distance, it really works! I’ve done all the work, all you need is a pair of scissors and some scotch tape, and you can have your very own scary house illusion. Want the template? Post a comment in this subject and include your email, I’ll email it to you for free.

UPDATE: Sorry, I just added the sound to help explain what is going on! Please rate 5 stars if you can.

    That was cool man! Would you mind if I can also get this awsome illusion? I am trying to make these illusion with faces like the dragon illusion but then with human faces and kind like of that.
