A cut Ghostface mask with a photograph from Wes Craven's Scream, both autographed by Henry Winkler. After he removed the masks from two students for playing a prank, Principal Himbry (Winkler) cut up one mask while he berated the students before he expelled them.

Scream won various awards, including three Saturn Awards in 1997, and has since been praised for its originality, meta commentary, humour, and ensemble cast, which were instrumental to the film's success.

Production used two types of masks during filming: commercial-made PVC masks from Fun World DIV, where they were used later in the film, and a limited run of masks designed by effects studio KNB EFX. Production intentionally cut up several masks for the scene with Himbry. This KNB EFX mask with a cut through the face originated from Winkler's personal collection.

Made of soft PVC painted white, it comes with black mesh inside the eyes, a blackened nose and mouth, and a black poly-blend fabric shroud. The forehead is signed by Winkler in black ink. Also included is a black-and-white still of Himbry with Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) signed and inscribed "I loved this" by Winkler in black ink. This lot exhibits discolouration on the interior of the mask, notable pen marks, and adhesive residue. Dimensions: (photograph) 20.25 cm x 29.25 cm (8" x 11")

Estimate: £30,000 - 60,000 Ω
