That’s beyond awesome man, congrats to the highest degree!! When you say your wife is having a heart attack over it, is it because she doesn’t like it? The money spent on it? I get that alot with my wife lol Hopefully she’ll come around and see how much it means to you and begin to enjoy it too! Again, very, VERY COOL!!!
A very sincere congratulations. Pretty amazing that these pieces of history are still out there for persistent collectors that research where to find them.
Well…it’s going in the front room. It’s a BIG Pumpkin that looks awkward and is surrounded by Disney stuff. So, it looks odd. Liz is a good sport and she KNOWS how this was the grail. She’s not mad about the money because I already sold some stuff to cover it all. It’s just in the front room…a neutral space that just got taken over by a BIG fucking Pumpkin. It’s a family member now…and we’ll have fun with it.
My wife would’ve shat a brick twice the size of that pumpkin if I put it in our front room!
Im really curious though, is the back of the pumpkin as detailed as the front? Also, what do you think they used on the set to emulate the guts of the pumpkin around the skull??.. funny because as I kid, I thought the skull looked metal.
That’s about as cool as it gets. I’m sure you’ll figure out a nice backdrop to showcase it at some point. I still have those rare prints you sent me a few years back and want to thank you again for them. You are a good guy Billy.
Very cool.
Saw that all over facebook when it went up.
Glad it went to someone who knows and will cherish it, not to some of these new prop collectors who can’t tell the difference from a prop and replica.
Congrats
The back of it is brown…it looks like a big pinto bean. They used something that he called webbing made from latex thinly coated on fake spiderwebs. If you watch the movie, that was take one. If you watch the tv spots…the webs just fall off and don’t stretch like they were supposed to…because they couldn’t get it to stick after the first take because they stretched the webbing out.
