Our expert's notes

An original production-made evil clown head from Tobe Hooper’s horror classic Poltergeist. This head was made for the terrifying scene in which Robbie Freeling’s (Oliver Robins) toy clown came to life and dragged the boy under the bed where it tried to strangle him. There were three heads created by Annette Little for the scene, with this head being the second stage showing the clown’s face transitioning from a happy smile to an evil sneer. The first and third are the only stages to appear on screen.
This head was seen pictured in volume 13 of Cinefantastique magazine. The head is made of plaster and has bushy orange hair protruding from holes cast into the sculpt. The clown’s hat is made of a satin material that is decorated with stars and crescent moons that are pasted directly onto the fabric. The hat fits over a blue wire support that protrudes from holes cast into the scalp. The clown’s face has been sculpted to appear twisted and evil and is painted in a dark beige colour with red and white clown makeup. This item shows wear due to production use and age with chips to the paint and plaster and fading of the hat’s original colour. The piece otherwise remains in good condition. Dimensions: 25 cm x 20 cm x 33 cm (10" x 8" x 13")

£2,000-3,000
