Terror Dog head set with insert shot eye from Ivan Reitman's supernatural comedy Ghostbusters. A terror dog kidnapped Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) to take her to become a servant of Gozer.
This set comes from the collection of Ghost Shop creature effects supervisor Stuart Ziff. It consists of a latex foam head and neck with an empty eye socket and half the face removed; half of a latex foam terror dog face featuring a red acrylic eye mounted to a wooden base with metal brackets and loose cables; a red acrylic bulb; and two brown painted textured, carved resin horns. The mounted half face was used when the terror dogs emerged from the stone using air compression, the remaining head was ultimately not seen in the film. This lot exhibits grime and minor deterioration from age. Dimensions: (largest) 24" x 12" x 24" (61 cm x 30.5 cm x 61 cm)
Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide.
This lot comes from the collection of effects pioneer Stuart Ziff. Upon moving to Edlund's Entertainment Effects Group (later renamed Boss Film Studios) in 1983, Ziff headed the 50-person "Ghost Shop" responsible for the groundbreaking demonic special effects in Ivan Reitman's comedy classic Ghostbusters. Numerous ghosts and spectral phenomena created for the picture, including the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man's costume, immediately landed in the American pop culture lexicon, where they've remained for nearly four decades. Propstore is proud to offer never-beforeseen production materials from Stuart Ziff's pioneering work on Ghostbusters, alongside other one-of-a-kind memorabilia from his 40-plus-year career as a Hollywood pioneer.
Estimate: $15,000 - 30,000
