An art gallery isn't usually where horror and sci-fi movie buffs are found, but if they're paying attention to the current lineup of visual art in the Valley, they'll head to monOrchid's Bokeh Gallery to check out "Scream Queens."

The exhibition is a series of photographs by David Miller that include models "conceptually using 20th century pop cultural references in an attempt to critique old attitudes, appreciate past art forms, and replicate styles as faithfully as possible," according to Bokeh curator Justin Germain.

The photographs are meant to explore and poke fun at female archetypes in film -- femme fatales, good girls, vamps -- especially in the fantasy fear genre. "Scream Queens" is on view throughout April and every Friday night.

Fridays, 6-10 p.m.; Fri., April 26, 6-9 p.m. Starts: April 5. Continues through April 19, 2013
