There's some real nightmare fuel lurking in Hollywood's latest massive prop auction
It's all fun and games until someone loses a toe—or skins and mounts The Cat In The Hat, as the case may be.
Hollywood's latest massive prop auction may look like a tantalizing glimpse into the lives of movie stars, but it can also reveal some truly unsettling artifacts. Among the items up for grabs are those that evoke a sense of unease, reminding us that even beloved movie props have a limited lifespan.
Take, for example, the "Heavily Decayed Yoda," a prop that genuinely sends shivers down the spine. While some items are deliberately grotesque, like the masks from "The Thing" or "A Nightmare on Elm Street," or the severed toe prop from "The Big Lebowski," there are also unsettling finds that catch the eye nonetheless.
The auction features various items with a disturbing history, such as the blood diamond from "Blood Diamond" and the severed toe from "The Big Lebowski." The sky-high price tags attached to these artifacts only add to their eerie allure.
However, not all the auction items are designed to provoke disgust. There are still plenty of fascinating pieces to choose from. Fans can own items like "The Rock's" neurotoxin "pearls," the "You're Fired!!" fax from "Back to the Future Part II," or even a mosquito trapped in amber from "Jurassic Park." For those with deep pockets, there's also the opportunity to purchase an authentic "Leeloo Dallas Multi-Pass" from "Guardians of the Galaxy."
While we strongly advise against buying the blood diamond from "Blood Diamond," there are still plenty of intriguing items to consider. Some of the more charming options include a distressed "Wilson" from "Castaway," a pair of Garth's glasses from "Wayne's World," or John Oliver and Russell Crowe's jockstrap, used to troll each other in jest.
In summary, the Hollywood prop auction offers a unique look into the world of movie memorabilia, presenting a mix of unsettling and fascinating artifacts for collectors and fans alike.
