Well now, if you’re like me, you probably don’t go looking for things to scare ya. But let me tell ya, some of these horror movie props can really make your hair stand on end. You know, them things they use in them movies that just give you the creeps? Yeah, I’m talkin’ about them real scary ones that stick with you long after the movie’s done. Sit down, I’m gonna tell ya all about ’em.
First thing that comes to mind is that Hellraiser Cube Puzzle Box. I reckon you seen it before in that old movie ‘Hellraiser’. It’s a little box, all shiny and covered in strange patterns. But don’t let that fool ya, this thing is a key to all sorts of trouble. They call it the “Lament Configuration” and let me tell ya, when folks start messing with that box, they’re in for some real nasty surprises. Some people even collect them, like a real spooky treasure! But if you ask me, I wouldn’t want that thing anywhere near me. If you ever get your hands on one, better be careful, ’cause I hear it can summon all sorts of evil creatures. Yikes!
Then there’s them Freddy Krueger Masks. Now, Freddy’s a nasty piece of work, ain’t he? That man, or should I say, that monster, comes to you in your dreams with them sharp gloves of his. He can crawl right up in your mind and make your worst nightmares real. People love to dress up as Freddy, especially around Halloween, but I gotta say, it gives me the chills just thinkin’ about it. There’s this one mask, and it’s made to look just like Freddy’s face, all burnt up and twisted, with that horrible grin. Folks sell these masks online for big money, and if you get one of them, well, you got yourself a piece of horror movie history, I reckon.
Another one that’s real famous is that Zuni Doll from the movie ‘Trilogy of Terror’. Now, don’t let that little doll fool ya. It looks cute enough, but in that movie, that doll comes to life and starts causing all sorts of trouble. I read once that a collector bought one of them dolls for a whopping $204,000! Can you imagine that? A tiny little doll worth more than most folks’ houses. Makes you think, maybe there’s something to these horror movie props after all. It ain’t just about the movie, it’s about the stories they tell, and how they can haunt ya long after the screen goes dark.
And don’t forget about the Overlook Hotel Ballroom Photo from ‘The Shining’. Now, I ain’t ever been up there to that hotel, but I hear it’s a real spooky place. This photo, though, it’s more than just a picture on a wall. It’s a piece of movie history. The image shows a fancy ballroom, all lit up, but if you know the story of ‘The Shining’, you know that place is haunted by all sorts of ghosts and bad memories. People who collect horror movie props sure love them old photos, especially ones like this, ’cause they make ya feel like you’re right there in the middle of the action. Creepy, right?
Some people, though, they ain’t just after the scary stuff. They like to make their homes a little spooky, too. I seen folks buying all kinds of Halloween decorations online, and I don’t mean just pumpkins and ghosts. I’m talkin’ about full-on haunted house setups. You got your skeletons, your creepy spiders, and them witches that cackle when you walk by. Some of these props can be real expensive, but if you’re into that Halloween spirit, well, it’s money well spent, I guess.
But not all horror props have to be scary in a bad way. Some folks collect them just for the history, like how they collect old tools or antiques. Take the Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy Krueger Phone, for instance. It’s a phone that looks like Freddy’s mouth, and when you pick it up, it makes this creepy sound. Sure, it’s odd, but it’s got a place in the world of horror, and some people like that kinda thing. It’s like owning a little piece of the movie itself. If you got that phone sitting in your living room, you’re gonna get a lot of attention, that’s for sure.
Now, some of these props get sold at fancy auctions, and you wouldn’t believe the prices some of ’em go for. People are payin’ tens of thousands of dollars just for a piece of a horror movie. I don’t understand it myself, but there’s a lot of folks out there who sure do. They got them fancy auctions where you can bid on stuff like this, and sometimes it’s the only way to get your hands on them rare props.
Well, I reckon that’s enough talk about scary stuff for one day. But if you’re ever in the mood to scare yourself, or maybe just add a little spooky charm to your home, remember, there’s a whole world of horror movie props out there. Whether it’s a creepy mask, a haunted photo, or a puzzle box that might just open up the gates of hell, there’s something for everyone. Just be careful what you wish for, and maybe keep that Hellraiser cube at arm’s length!
