A static walking claw sculpture model miniature from Tim Burton's supernatural comedy Beetlejuice. The newly-deceased Maitlands (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) tried to scare the new inhabitants of their house (Catherine O'Hara and Jeffrey Jones) by making their hyper-modern furniture move.

This lot comes from the collection of Doug Beswick, an effects artist well-known for his stop-motion animation and creature effects work. It is one of several stand-in static models created for the stop-motion "Banana Boat" scene. It is molded around a nine-fingered metal armature and painted green with black shading. The foam is crumbling and cracking throughout, exposing the armature, and it remains fragile from age and production use. Dimensions: 4.5" x 11" x 4" (11.5 cm x 28 cm x 10.25 cm)

Estimate: $1,000 - 1,500
