ALTERED STATES (1980) - Eddie Jessup's (William Hurt) SFX Altered Makeup Appliance with Cinefantastique Magazines - Eddie Jessup's (William Hurt) SFX altered makeup appliance from Ken Russell's sci-fi horror film Altered States. Psychophysiologist Jessup devolved into an ape-like primitive after self-experimenting with deprivation tanks.

Jessup's transformation was brought to life by SFX makeup artist Dick Smith, who designed this foam latex face appliance. The appliance is hand-painted greenish-yellow with pink lips, inset with a jaundiced urethane right eye, and mounted to a wooden base with a styrofoam bust. Also included are copies of Cinefantastique Volume 11 No. 1 and 2 featuring cover stories on Smith's makeup for the film. The appliance exhibits significant cracking and stiffening from production wear and age, and should be handled with caution. Dimensions (magazines, each): 9" x 11" x 0.25" (23 cm x 28 cm x 0.25 cm)

Estimate: $1,500 - 3,000
