A friend of mine helps out at a local artist co-op, and he invited me to come through to see the Deadly Prey exhibition. Deadly Prey Gallery. I wish I had snagged more photos of the artwork, but hopefully what I grabbed was interesting enough. Accuracy to the films being advertised did not appear to be a priority in many cases, such as the Dune poster featuring a Lynch worm, a Villeneuve worm, a Beetlejuice worm, and a tongue worm from Tremors. I'd crosspost this to some of the movies communities, but I don't know how :(
