GHOSTBUSTERS (1984) - Stuart Ziff Collection: Terror Dog Foot with Claw Set - A terror dog foot with a claw set from Ivan Reitman's supernatural comedy Ghostbusters. A terror dog emerged from stone before it kidnapped Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) to take her to become a servant of Gozer.

This lot comes from the collection of Ghost Shop creature effects supervisor Stuart Ziff. It consists of a brown latex foam terror dog foot; three brown painted textured and carved resin claws; and one unpainted resin claw. The claws were used during the emerging scene. The foot exhibits extremely brittle material on the toes and the claws exhibit rough edges. Dimensions: 14" x 9" x 7" (35.75 cm x 23 cm x 18 cm)

This lot comes from the collection of effects pioneer Stuart Ziff. Upon moving to Edlund's Entertainment Effects Group (later renamed Boss Film Studios) in 1983, Ziff headed the 50-person "Ghost Shop" responsible for the groundbreaking demonic special effects in Ivan Reitman's comedy classic Ghostbusters. Numerous ghosts and spectral phenomena created for the picture, including the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man's costume, immediately landed in the American pop culture lexicon, where they've remained for nearly four decades. Propstore is proud to offer never-beforeseen production materials from Stuart Ziff's pioneering work on Ghostbusters, alongside other one-of-a-kind memorabilia from his 40-plus-year career as a Hollywood pioneer.

Estimate: $4,000 - 8,000
