‘Tis the season for some of the most evil movie props of all time to go up for auction.
Child star Harvey Stephens, who played little evil Damien Thorn in the original 1976 version of “The Omen,” has held onto the prop tricycle he rode into his on-screen mother (Lee Remick), causing her to fall over a second-story banister. Four years ago, Stephens said he wouldn’t part with the piece of scary cinema history because he wanted to give it to his baby daughter, but he began making public appearances with it earlier this year. The live auction will start with a $30,000 bid.
Hollywood dentist Henry R. Dwork wants to cash in on his little piece of film history – specifically, the molds he made for Linda Blair’s tongue extension and teeth, used in “The Exorcist.” If you were wondering, Dwork says he has also “assisted many of Hollywood’s biggest stars with all their necessary cosmetic dentistry, including: Robert DeNiro (for The Deer Hunter and The Untouchables), Sean Penn, Dustin Hoffman (for Marathon Man), John Belushi, Marlon Brando and Al Pacino (for the Godfather) and many more.” The doc is looking for $2,500 or best offer.
A seller by the name of “ectoplasm” has a number of props from the Hellraiser movies for sale, including one of the puzzle boxes used in the film, which apparently has some “secret” about it that will help the buyer verify that it’s legit. It also includes oversized corneal black contact lenses worn by “Pinhead” actor Doug Bradley, a resin bust of the creepy character, a hand-painted maquette of the “Pillar of Souls,” and a piece of prosthetic makeup that Bradley donned somewhere in between all of those shiny nails. With three days to go, the bidding currently stands at just under $1,400.
On the lighter side of soul suckage and cinematic carnage, the stop motion puppet used to portray Sigourney Weaver’s evil alter Hell hound ego in “Ghostbusters” is for sale. That live auction begins at $12K.
