Gozer the Gozerian (Slavitza Jovan) brought two gargoyles to life as demonic dogs with glowing red eyes. The Terror Dogs were created by Boss Film Studios using a combination of stop-motion animation and puppetry, ultimately earning the film an Academy Award nomination for Visual Effects. This hand-painted, 1/4-scale foam latex puppet was crafted by production from original Dog molds, but was ultimately not used onscreen. It is cast around a wire armature and affixed to a black cloth-wrapped wood base. This puppet remains in good overall condition due to preservation work conducted by a Boss Film Studios employee, including the application of a flexible protective coating. Dimensions: 24" x 16" x 12" (61 cm x 40.75 cm x 30.5 cm) Estimate: $6,000 - 8,000
