JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY (1993) - Mario Kirner Collection: FX Head - An FX head from Adam Marcus' slasher sequel Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. This lot comes from the personal collection of Friday the 13th collector and historian Mario Kirner. After Jessica (Kari Keegan) drove her knife into Jason's (Kane Hodder) heart, an orange ball of energy shot into the sky and demonic hands broke through the ground dragging Jason down to hell. This foam-filled latex FX head, sculpted by Wayne Toth and cast by special effects artist Brian Rae, features thin strands of real hair glued across the top. It has been airbrushed in blues and purples to encapsulate his rotting flesh and enhance the shadows and bulbous structure during the brightly lit scene. The head has been affixed to a metal stand and exhibits wear from production use and age, including splits and torn foam sections, including a large disintegrated section of the left neck. Dimensions: 11.8" x 13.4" x 11.8" (30 cm x 34 cm x 30 cm)

This lot comes from the Friday the 13th Props Museum collection of Mario Kirner. The Museum was created as a private collection that showcased not only Jason's iconic hockey mask, but also a number of other movie props, costumes and additional materials that were used during the production of the Friday the 13th movies.

An avid contributor in the screen-used prop and costume collecting field for more than 20 years, Mario Kirner has been a dedicated in his work and efforts to help to transform what was once a niche hobby into an popular culture phenomenon. Mario is not just a collector, but a true historian and curator of all things Jason Voorhees and Friday the 13th, also publishing a book dedicated to showcasing the museum's content and their stories.

Estimate: $3,000 - 6,000
