Screen-Worn and Screen-Matched ‘Jason Goes to Hell’ Hockey Mask Sells for Over $200,000 at Auction!
This week’s ongoing live auction Entertainment Memorabilia: Treasures from Film and Television from Prop Store was kicked off yesterday with a handful of incredible movie props and costumes, with horror highlights including Aliens, Evil Dead 2, and Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Master. The hottest item? A screen-matched mask from Jason Goes to Hell!
Worn by Kane Hodder in the early portions of the movie, the mask was estimated to fetch between $20,000 and $30,000 during the auction, and the screen-used prop far exceeded even the highest of expectations. The winning bid was placed for $180,000, and we’ve learned from Prop Store today that the full price the buyer will pay comes out to $225,000!
That final figure represents “the total sale price, which includes the buyer’s premium.”
Here’s the full listing for the item…
A screen-matched Jason Voorhees hockey mask signed by Kane Hodder from Adam Marcus’ horror sequel Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. Jason’s (Hodder) spirit passed his signature mask from body to body before he was dragged to hell by Freddy Krueger (Hodder). This mask screen-matches to the scene in which a SWAT team ambushes and blows up Jason.
This version of the iconic Voorhees mask was designed by effects supervisor Howard Berger and manufactured by K.N.B. Effects Group to appear battle-scarred, burnt, water-damaged, and fused to the face of the latest wearer. As such, the mask is extensively aged with grime, scratches, and chips made throughout by production.
It is constructed of molded vacuum-formed plastic painted white, gray, and brown with “To Tom, You’re Next, “Jason”” signed in black marker by Hodder above a red triangle emblem. Three brown leather straps are screwed into the top and sides. Though intentionally distressed, the mask remains in good overall condition.
This lot comes from the collection of renowned special effects artist Tom “Brooklyn” Bellissimo. A letter of authenticity from Bellissimo is included.
Another hot horror prop that was up for sale yesterday, “Vasquez’s (Jeanette Goldstein) Screen-Matched Lightweight M-41A Pulse Rifle from ALIENS (1986) sold for $106,250.”
The Prop Store auction continues today, June 30, and tomorrow, July 1.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
