Houston Art for Midnight-Movie Loyalists
The River Oaks Theatre marquee glows under a gradient sky with Rocky Horror on the bill — a love letter to Houston's last great art house. Betsy Crum painted the 1939 art-deco face of the West Gray landmark at the hour it earned its reputation, when the line outside was half the show. This is the square cut, 8x8 through 24x24; the vertical print is here.
Where It'll Work in Your House
It belongs in a media room or a den, and it makes strong entryway art in a house that takes movies seriously. On a gallery wall it sits beside the rest of the Houston art for a full night out. It is a reliable housewarming gift for a first apartment in Montrose.
Midnight movies built this marquee's legend. Take your seat for more from Betsy Crum, or keep the costumes on with Halloween art.

Product FAQ
What is on the marquee?
Rocky Horror. Betsy painted the theater at the hour that earned it its reputation, when the line outside was half the show and the Time Warp was imminent.
How old is the building?
The art-deco face on West Gray dates to 1939, and it is the reason the place reads as Houston's last great art house rather than just another screen.
Where does it hang?
A media room or a den, and it makes strong entryway art in a house that takes movies seriously.
What hangs with it?
The rest of the Houston prints, for a full night out on one wall, and the Halloween work if the costumes are the part you like. This is the square cut, and the same painting exists as a vertical.
Will this look like an original painting or a print?
Crum Art takes the scanning and photographing of original paintings seriously — we work to capture the texture of the canvas or paper the original was created on, so that texture shows through in the print. Combined with the cotton rag paper’s own subtle surface and the hand-signing, many customers say they cannot tell if it’s an original or a print. That’s intentional. These are not flat digital reproductions — they are fine art prints that carry the soul of the original.
What sizes does this print come in?
Our fine art prints are available in standard rectangle and square sizes. Rectangles: 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Squares: 8x8 unframed matted to 12x12, 12x12 unframed, 16x16, 20x20, and 24x24. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.
How do I make a gallery wall with art prints?
Start with an anchor piece and build outward — many Crum Art prints are part of series designed to group together as a statement gallery wall, or hang individually as standalone pieces. Since every image is sized to fit standard frames, mixing sizes is easy: lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep about two to three inches between frames, and center the whole grouping at eye level.
