A mechanical Engineer head from Clive Barker's horror film Hellraiser. The demonic Engineer chased Kirsty (Ashley Laurence) after she inadvertently solved the Lament Configuration puzzle box, causing a portal to open in the wall of her hospital room.

The head, made by Bob Keen and his team at Image Animation, comprises a fibreglass skull featuring a pair of cat-like eyes; a menacing set of yellowed sharp teeth; and a moveable lower jaw section. Contained within the skull are multiple cables and radio-controlled servos, which once operated the facial movements.

The majority of the head's foam-latex skin has worn away over time, but some remains around the cheeks and chin areas. The head remains in a fragile state and there are signs of wear, including scuffing and paint wear, and the lower jaw section has warped slightly over time. Dimensions: 28 cm x 23 cm x 44 cm (11" x 9" x 17¼")

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

Estimate: £1,000 - 1,500 M
