The Creeper's (Jonathan Breck) animatronic breathing bust from Victor Salva's horror sequel Jeepers Creepers 2. The Creeper, clinging to the side of a school bus, sniffed out his prey through the window. The Creeper's nostrils and an opening on the bridge of its nose opened and closed while it was sniffing.
The bust is made of foam latex constructed around a hollow resin head, the inside of which is wired throughout to produce the animatronic breathing effect. It features the Creeper's distinctive wrinkled, scaly brown skin and claw-like features, with fake white hair adhered around the chin and jowls. Two metallic armatures protrude from the nape of the resin head, and it comes mounted on a custom stand. There is a split down the back of the latex head, and due to age the latex has dried out and is crumbling. The electronics are untested. Dimensions (mounted): 24 cm x 40 cm x 41 cm (9.5" x 15.75" x 16.25")
Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Terms and Conditions.
Estimate: £4,000 - 8,000 Ω
