Original Items Included in Propstore Horror Auction
There’s nothing like the intoxicating thrill of a high-end auction for horror memorabilia enthusiasts. For those lucky souls, the moment has arrived, courtesy of Propstore, hosting an epic film fest auction this August. While walk-ins are welcomed, virtual participation requires pre-auction online registration.
Topping the big prize list is a face only a horror fan would love to wake up next to. Yes, we’re talking about the Ghostface costume. Billy Loomis and Stu Macher made it famous in the 1996 hit Scream. Originally crafted as a standard Halloween disguise by Fun World, the white mask and hooded black robe earned legendary status after its cinematic debut. This costume is expected to fetch six figures, currently exceeding $100,000. Let’s hope a true horror enthusiast, not just an affluent dabbler, expands their trophy room with this piece.
Next on the Auction Block
Adding to the Scream fervor, Sidney Prescott’s Omega Kappa Beta necklace, the romantic token from her ill-fated boyfriend Derek in Scream 2, is also expected to vanish during the auction. Considered a steal, the bidding is estimated to hover between $3,000 and $6,000.
Moreover, Propstore’s auction list isn’t limited to Scream. For aficionados who dig the Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street franchises, the auction features Jason Voorhees’ hockey mask and Freddy Krueger’s razor glove respectively.
A Horror Buff’s Dream
Now, let’s dive into the complete rundown for the categorically inclined horror fans. A top crowd-pleaser, pulling in an estimated $80,000-$160,000, is the stunt Necronomicon Ex-Mortis from Evil Dead II. Hot on its heels is the special effects Facehugger from Alien, boasting an estimated price tag of $60,000-$120,000. Other items with tantalizingly morbid histories include Chucky’s Good Guys Doll, Tiffany’s animatronic puppet, Jason Voorhees’ screen-matched hockey mask, and Freddy Krueger’s bloodied razor-claw glove.
Additionally, the auction features Dr. Satan’s surgical machine from House of 1000 Corpses, R.J. MacReady’s shotgun and lantern from The Thing, Jigsaw’s pig mask from Saw V, and the “Handbook for the Recently Deceased” from Beetlejuice.
So to all you blood-thirsty enthusiasts, whether you’re ready to lighten your wallet or just enjoy the adrenaline rush of an auction, set your alarm and grab your lucky rabbit’s foot. This is one horror show you don’t want to miss!
