Ever wanted to own a piece of horror history? Well, now you can, thanks to Julien’s Auctions! The auction house is partnering with Turner Classic Movies to present a week of sales dedicated to items from Hollywood history — notably including several pieces from some of our favorite scary movies.
The auction, which runs December 11 and 12, features items from across the more recent history of Hollywood, including plenty of horror and horror adjacent titles. David Lynch fans will be thrilled to see listings for items like Black Lodge floor panels from Twin Peaks, original scripts, and prints and concept art from films like Lost Highway and Dune. Also included are signed posters from Halloween and The Fog, clapboards and scripts from Jurassic Park, a screen-used puppet from Critters, production-made facehuggers from Alien, and more. (My personal favorite is Dee Wallace’s Halloween costume from E.T., though I can’t promise I wouldn’t just wear that around my house.)
Of course, horror films aren’t the only ones included in the auction. Also on offer are scripts, costumes, storyboards, and more from films like Back to the Future, Pirates of the Caribbean, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Mystery Science Theater 3000. There’s event prints and concept art from the development of the Disney Parks and cruise liners for sale!
The Contemporary Hollywood auction is one of three being presented by Julien’s in partnership with TCM under the “Hollywood Legends” banner. One focuses on Joseff of Hollywood, a jewelry company that’s supplied glitz and glamour for over 1000 films across cinema history, including classics like Sabrina and One Touch of Venus. The other puts its focus on classic Hollywood, which includes items like photos and signed checks from Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Mae West’s gowns, and costumes worn by the likes of Claudette Colbert, Debbie Reynolds, Natalie Wood, and Cher.
