Hollywood auction house is having another big auction of film memorabilia, including a few interesting SF-related items:
The fourth issue of the fanzine Imagination, which includes Ray Bradbury’s first published story.
Willis O’Brien’s very shoggothian concept art for an unproduced film called The Bubbles, featuring “bubble-like creatures in Baja, California that devour everything in their path.”
Electrodes from both the James Whale Frankenstein and Young Frankenstein.
A diving helmet from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
Concept art from Forbidden Planet.
Charlton Heston’s torn Planet of the Ape pants, plus ape masks.
Props from Alien and Aliens
A bunch of Star Wars posters and props.
Lots of The Nightmare Before Christmas props and sets.
Some Matrix stuff, both from the good one and the crappy ones.
That farking annoying robot from The Black Hole.
Frank’s bunny mask from Donnie Darko.
Enough stuff from The Wizard of Oz. and The Sound of Music to start your own museum.
Plus Bruce Lee’s nun-chucks, Conan’s sword, the Terminator’s gun, Jason’s machete, Maximus’ axe, Legalos’ arrow, Indiana Jones’ whip, Jack Sparrow’s sword, Captain Kirk’s phaser, a Ghostbusters proton pack, The Comedian’s pistols, Freddy Kreuger’s fingernails, Rambo’s knife, James Bond’s gun, and Scarface’s “little friend.”
The auction is online in a “Flipbook” format, evidently invented because HTML was insufficiently annoying.
