A SFX Smoking ghost trap from Ivan Reitman's action-comedy sequel Ghostbusters II. Ghostbusters Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Raymond Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis), and Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) used traps to capture ghouls haunting New York. The ghost trap props made for Ghostbusters II were smaller and lighter weight than the first-film versions which were larger, heavier, and more challenging for the actors to work with, especially when worn on the belt.

This ghost trap consists of a resin-cast body that is adorned with aluminum plates,a handle and four practical wheels, a red plastic light fixture, a V clip at the bottom for mounting to the belt, a flippable switch on the top and a series of dummy switches and knobs on the sides. It is affixed on the top with two yellow striped pieces of caution tape as well as three smaller sections of fabric. These smaller pieces of fabric were soaked with a chemical which caused the trap to appear as though it was smoking; ghost traps were seen smoking at various points in the film. One of the switches activates a flashing red light by the handle while a rectangular bar-graph yellow light on the top of the trap also illuminates. It exhibits some paint chipping and wear on the decals throughout. Dimensions: 20" x 6" x 6" (51 cm x 15.25 cm x 15.25 cm)

Contains electronic and mechanical components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $50,000 - 70,000
