A Stay Puft Marshmallow Man unfinished head skin from Ivan Reitman's supernatural comedy Ghostbusters. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man ghost attacked the Ghostbusters after a failed attempt to stop Gozer.

This lot comes from the collection of Ghost Shop creature effects supervisor Stuart Ziff. It consists of a rubber foam skin, originally intended for use on a mechanical costume head, over a sculpted foam Stay Puft Marshmallow Man head mounted to a wooden base. This head exhibits extensive cracks, flaking, and scuffs from the skin and grime to the foam. Dimensions: 16" x 14" x 17" (40.75 cm x 35.75 cm x 43.25 cm)

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: $3,000 - 6,000
