Lot 305
A radio-controlled hero ghost trap and pedal from Ivan Reitman's supernatural comedy Ghostbusters and its sequel Ghostbusters II. The Ghostbusters ۠Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Raymond Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis), and Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) ۠used traps to capture ghouls haunting New York. A small number of electronic trap props were made for the production by Academy Award-nominated special effects supervisor Chuck Gaspar, and reused in the second production. This piece comes with a letter of authenticity from producer Michael C. Gross. The trap consists of a black aluminum box with a handle and four wheels, an illuminating red plastic light, an illuminating electronic charging meter, a yellow plastic light, and two doors with yellow striped caution tape applied on top. When charged, the trap doors open to reveal five 9V batteries in a battery pack, an array of four small light bulbs, and circuitry connecting the doors to the batteries. The original plastic and metal Futaba radio-control system used to operate the trap is labelled with numbers corresponding to the mechanism that each button controls. The trap has several pieces of functionality: the remote button labelled "5 DOOR" opens the striped hatch doors on top; the throttle labelled "3 BARGRAPH" operates the light bar graph at the top of the piece which illuminates up and down to confirm that the trap is filled up; the "6 FLASH" button initiates the internal strobe-light used for on-set interactive lighting effects when the trap opens; and the mechanism labelled "7 RED LIGHT FLASH" operates the red flashing light at the rear of the unit that signifies it is holding a ghost. The hydraulic foot pedal is made of steel and wood painted black, with red and yellow wires underneath. Also included is a plastic-and-steel cable that connects the trap and the pedal, and a red-and-black AC charging cord for the trap. The round silver bars on the side of the trap's body were originally painted orange for the first film, and were stripped back to raw aluminium when the trap was reconditioned for the sequel. All pieces exhibit signs of use and wear, including scrapes and scuffs throughout, as well as chipped wood on the pedal. Operating instructions for the functional electronic components are also included. Dimensions: 75 cm x 58.5 cm x 24.25 cm (29 1/2" x 23" x 9 1/2")£80000-120000 Ω Δ*Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide
Lot 619
Jack Torrance's (Jack Nicholson) hero axe from Stanley Kubrick's classic horror The Shining. Jack used his axe throughout the film's terrifying climax as he hunted his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall), despatched Hallorann (Scatman Crothers) and memorably pursued his son Danny (Danny Lloyd) through the Overlook Hotel's maze, before freezing to death while still clutching the axe. An axe was also used in a flashback sequence showing the murder of the twins. The terrifying images of the deranged Jack Torrance stalking the corridors of the Overlook Hotel resonate as vividly today as they did on the film's release. Jack's line from the film's most famous scene, "Here's Johnny", is a reference to the opening of The Tonight Show and its host, Johnny Carson, and is one of the most quoted in Hollywood history. The axe, a true icon of horror cinema, is a custom made fire axe, that needed to be practical for the shots in which Jack broke down the apartment door and then the bathroom door in pursuit of Danny and Wendy. Wendy ultimately thwarted Jack's attack by slashing his hand with a kitchen knife, after which he retreated and went after his son. This axe was purchased by a crew member at a sale of the movie's assets at the end of filming, along with other props, costumes and set decoration. It was specifically selected as the crew member involved needed an axe to chop wood at home. Fortunately, the axe was never used for this purpose, and has been kept safely for decades. It remains in excellent condition, with a few knicks and scratches present from use on Kubrick's notoriously long shooting days. Dimensions: 90 cm x 29 cm x 2.5 cm (35 1/2" x 11 1/2" x 1")£40000-60000 M

Lot 319
A hand-drawn piece of advertising concept artwork from the promotion of Richard Donner's family adventure The Goonies. The final version of the art features on promotional Goonies merchandise and depicts the scene in which Andy (Kerri Green) plays an organ made of human bones to open a door to the lagoon. The artwork was hand-drawn by Greg Winters, who created promotional art for The Goonies and drew from life on set, even posing the actors for specific setups. The artwork is in pencil on an illustration board with a tracing paper cover sheet indicating the colours to be used on the finished artwork, marked in black pen. This item shows signs of age on the delicate cover sheet, which is discoloured and has some small tears and rips around the edges. Dimensions: 39 cm x 34 cm (15 1/2" x 13 1/2")£600-800 M *Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide
