THE CAVE (2005) - Full-Size Cable-Controlled Cave Creature - A full-size, cable-controlled cave creature from Bruce Hunt's The Cave. Demonic mutant creatures hunted a group of explorers trapped in a Carpathian cave.

This cave creature was created and fabricated by SFX company Patrick Tatopoulos Design. It is constructed primarily from foam latex with rubber wings, a fiberglass skull, and long resin spikes and claws. Puppeteering wires designed for a performer to move the "legs" are set into a puppeteer's body harness concealed inside the belly. The creature is hand-painted yellow, pink, and green, and distressed by production to appear rotten and mutated throughout. It is affixed with an elastic harness mounted to a steel display rig screwed into a wood base. The back legs are presented loose from the body.

This creature underwent sympathetic restoration and stabilization following production. It exhibits holes in the face and body and torn rubber from age and production. Dimensions: 56" x 33" x 74" (142.25 cm x 84 cm x 188 cm)

Special shipping required; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $6,000 - 12,000
