GHOSTBUSTERS (1984) - Stuart Ziff Collection: Set of Three Terror Dog Claws - Three terror dog claws from Ivan Reitman's supernatural comedy Ghostbusters. A terror dog kidnapped Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) to take her to become a servant of Gozer.

This set comes from the collection of Ghost Shop creature effects supervisor Stuart Ziff. It consists of three textured and carved resin terror dog claws painted brown. One claw features a hole for attachment and one claw is hollow within. These claws exhibit rough edges and foam residue. Dimensions: (largest) 4.5" x 2" x 1.25" (11.5 cm x 5 cm x 3.25 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: $1,500 - 3,000
