Wow, I was pretty sure it's going to be "Smirking Horror". It fits pretty well with all the clues.
Even with the first picture of the first clue - I thought we were supposed to see "smear king" --> smirking :)

Nope, the first picture is quite graphically depicting what it is supposed to depict When you know that word you only have to find another word for the same thing.

Probably not this one either, but worth a try:
Jester's Jaunt?

Jeez Alex, the more clues you give, the more confusing things get! :)

So, another shot in the dark:
Terrore a Dunwich?
Terror referring to the ghost, dung -> Dunwich.
I know that royalty doesn't come into the picture (so to speak), but it's my best guess.

Sorry, both wrong. Is there a reason why you guys do have such a negative approach toward ghosts :)? "Doom, terror, curse, horror" I mean nothing of that kind.

I don't have much time right now, but tomorrow I'll try to upload another picture.

Meanwhile think about the first picture and just tell what you see. Then search on the internet for another meaning of this word and find another name for it.

shithead = fool/ jester ?
This also links to the "card" clue in your last post (at least that's what I think).
But there's nothing in the database containing neither of those which also fit the other clues.
Madcap Manor maybe?

Well done!

Some explanation for the ones who didn't get it: With the first picture I was referring to the card game "Shithead" which is also known as "idiots" or "palace". In order to know which name to choose I gave the hint "if you think royalty is part of this title, you're not crazy". The second picture was "paranormal". The hint about the wealth refers to the name of the author which is Richmond.
