Our expert's notes

A full-size alien creature costume used in the Steven Spielberg sci-fi drama Close Encounters of the Third Kind. This costume was made for the friendly aliens who revealed themselves during the extraordinary climax of the movie at the secret landing strip by the Devil's Tower. As the mother ship’s ramp lowers, these creatures wandered out to greet the humans and finally make contact.
The head is made from durable slip latex and painted a green-grey colour. The eye detail is painted over the latex, and the pupil is left open for the visibility of the child actor who wore it. The outfit’s unitard is made from spandex, with rubber grips attached to the soles of the feet.

The alien costume is presented on a bespoke mannequin. It includes a certificate of authenticity from Warner Brothers. At the time the film was made, Columbia Pictures and Warner Brothers shared a costume department at The Burbank Studios, which is the WB lot today. Costumes from TBS remained when the costume department became Warner Brothers exclusively. Dimensions: 30 cm x 40 cm x 100 cm (12” x 15¾” x 39½”)

£5,000-7,000
