Get ready for the 2nd Annual Dias De Los Muertos And Monster Factory Exhibition!

This year local and national artists where invited to interpet their own vision of Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's Monster. 80 busts were handed out and each artist was given free reign to bring to life their own interpretation of one of horror films most iconic characters.
