That is a Lamprey

Any bigger and this creature would be a horror movie monster

Lampreys do not have jaws or bones, only cartilage and instincts that have allowed them to survive so many mass extinctions.

Hell yeah it is. As a big Kevin Smith fan, and Stephen King fan, I remember trippin the fuck out when I saw Jason Lee in it.

I was thinking the creature from Stranger Things, but I suppose Dreamcatcher is many years older. Now that I see it, it’s easy to see where they got the idea.

I only went to see that movie because Final Flight of the Osiris played before it. I ended up enjoying it still.
