GHOSTBUSTERS (1984) - Stuart Ziff Collection: Bound Revised Third Draft Script with Production Paperwork - Ghost Shop creature effects supervisor Stuart Ziff's personal bound, revised third draft script with paperwork from the production of Ivan Reitman's supernatural comedy Ghostbusters. This lot comes from Ziff's collection. It consists of a brass brad-bound, 138-page script credited to Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, dated "7 October 1983," hand-marked "1006 Stuart Ziff" on the cover, and enclosed in a red folder; eight yellow script revision pages handmarked "Stuart"; two white production memoranda handmarked "Stu"; and five green script revision pages. The paperwork exhibits edge wear, dog earring, and rodent bites from storage. Dimensions: (largest) 8.5" x 11" x 1" (21.5 cm x 28 cm x 2.5 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
