Susanna and the Elders (1731) by Willem van Mieris

"A strategically placed copy of Susannah and the Elders (ca. 17–18th century) by Dutch artist Willem van Mieris concealed a peephole used for peering into room number one. Like a Baroque version of Psycho’s famous shower scene, Susannah and the Elders pits a vulnerably nude bathing woman against the violent voyeurism of a male predator."

The Shining (1980) by Stanley Kubrick Identical Twins (1966) by Diane Arbus

"He [Leon Vitali, Kurbick's assistant] was also responsible for discovering the creepy twin sisters on the final day of auditions. The pair, in fact, weren’t twins in Kubrick’s script, and it was Vitali who immediately suggested Diane Arbus’ infamous photo of two identical sisters as a point of reference. Kubrick loved the idea, and now resentful twin siblings around the world know who actually deserves their ire."
