POLTERGEIST (2015) - Griffin Bowen's (Kyle Catlett) Screen-Matched Clown Doll - Griffin Bowen's (Kyle Catlett) screen-matched clown doll from Gil Kenan's horror remake Poltergeist. Griffin was terrorized throughout the film by an evil clown doll he found in a box. Intentional production distressing to the face and fingers of this doll photo-matches to the popular poster promoting the film and to shots of the doll lying still in Griffin's room.

Designed in homage to the evil clown from Tobe Hooper's seminal 1982 original of the same name, this ornately detailed doll originated directly from production company Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). It features a cast resin head, hands, and feet painted off-white with a sculpted, toothy rictus smile, red and black-painted shoes, sparkly blue acrylic inset eyes, and a red clown's nose mounted to the front by a twine string on a retractable pulley. The head and appendages are affixed to wood blocks and a soft polyfill and foam body dressed with a foam-padded and mesh-lined red yarn wig, a maroon-tasseled yellow stretch knit vest, and a tricolor linen and polyester blend jumpsuit.

The doll is intentionally distressed by production to appear well-worn with black grime applied, paint smudging on the face to appear damaged, and flaking paint on the fingers and legs. It exhibits some pilling to the wig, which has come loose from the head since production, as well as fraying threads on the sleeves. Dimensions: 33" x 10" x 7" (84 cm x 25.5 cm x 18 cm)

Estimate: $8,000 - 16,000
