From Matt Ryan Tobin: “SOCIETY is a completely original, tongue in cheek, thought-provoking 80's gem...and its absolutely batshit crazy. So when Mad Duck reached out to me to do a poster for it, I said yes without hesitation. Upon more research into the film I learned that director Brian Yuzna was heavily inspired by the work of Dali. As soon as I learned this, Dali's 'In Voluptas Mors' came to mind...and fully inspired this 80's redux/homage to his incredibly legendary and iconic work. I wanted to capture the era of the 1980's and 80's poster art itself but also create something elegant, statuesque and upon closer look...grotesque.”

Brian Yuzna's Society (1989) is an outrageous body-horror satire skewering upper-class conformity, culminating in one of horror's most notorious practical-effects finales. Tobin's print, an homage to Dali's “In Voluptas Mors,” captures the film's grotesque elegance, a compelling piece for collectors of cult '80s horror.
