Linda's (Denise Bixler) burial site model miniature from Sam Raimi's Evil Dead II. After Linda was turned into a Deadite, Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) killed her, buried her next to a tree, and marked her grave with a hand-made cross.

The Evil Dead films were hugely influential on subsequent horror films and helped launch the careers of both Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi.

This lot originated from the collection of Doug Beswick, an effects artist well-known for his stop-motion animation and creature effects work. Created by Beswick, this lot consists of a hand-sculpted plaster tree miniature, painted and textured to resemble craggy bark with wooden sprigs and sticks adhered to the main trunk. It is mounted to a plaster base covered with faux rocks, gravel, and production-made critter holes, giving it a realistic uneven and rocky ground. The plaster base is secured with fibrous cord which mounts it to a wooden display base. The burial site also has a model miniature cross of plaster around a metal armature designed to resemble dead wood. This lot exhibits chipped and exposed plaster in several places along the branches and along the base, as well as exposed wood and fibers underneath; the cross's ends exhibit flaking and exposed metal; and the paint exhibits mild discoloration from age. Dimensions: 20" x 20" x 26" (51 cm x 51 cm x 66 cm)

Estimate: $8,000 - 16,000
