Our friend and talented artist Patrick Ballesteros is back with another great print – this one with a Halloween/horror movie theme. (And I’m not gonna be the one to tell the big guy in the back to get off his cell phone during the movie.) From the Cave:

Growing up, sneaking out and catching the newest horror flick in the theaters was an adventure in itself.  What was even more exciting was getting ready to seat in that seat and get the Begeezus scared out of me. Each time going you never knew what to expect. That was the whole fun, not only the movie but the environment, stale air and popcorn, overpriced soda, and sticky seats…..well maybe not that. This image is not only a tribute to my favorite holiday of the year, but to those Friday nights were I lay awake in my bed ready to fend off Freddy, Jason, or Michael from entering my room. It was quite terrifying but a part of my childhood that I will always remember and cherish.

The print measures 9″x18″ and sells for $20 plus shipping and handling. It is available for preorder here.
