Deadite Linda's (Betsy Baker) special effects decapitated torso from Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead. After Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) decapitated the Deadite Linda, her headless body continued to attack Ash, pinning him to the ground.

This torso, from the personal collection of special effects artist Tom Sullivan, consists of a feminine mannequin torso made of fiberglass, a beige foam latex neck and shoulder appliance, and a clay neck insert depicting the gore of the open neck hole. The mannequin torso exhibits stains; the fragile neck appliance exhibits paint lifting and chipping, as well as some crumbling and breaks in the foam; and the clay neck insert has come out of the neck. Dimensions: 12" x 9" x 17" (30.5 cm x 23 cm x 43.25 cm)

Estimate: $2,000 - 4,000
