Imagine being connected to one of your favorite horror flicks by actually owning a piece of them! Los Angeles based auction house, PROFILES IN HISTORY will be curating this experience for you with their “Icons and Legends of Hollywood Auction” happening September 25th and 26th! Over 900 lots are up for grabs including screen used treasures from the A Nightmare On Elm Street films, Hellraiser, the Evil Dead franchise, Jaws, Alien, Child’s Play, Gremlins, Ghostbusters and many more!
Some of the iconic items that could be yours include one of the stunt axes used by Jack Nicholson in Kubrick’s “The Shining”. All work and no play may be the secret to picking it up as it’s estimated at going anywhere from $6,000 to $8,000. Freddy can be your boyfriend now with the actual special FX phone receiver complete with animatronic tongue seen in the first Elm Street movie! Everything from Deadite Warriors from Army Of Darkness, the Stay Puft Marshmellow man’s head, to the Munsters‘ coffin shaped roadster, the Dragula, could be making your horror-nerd fantasies a reality.
Take a shot at the massive Teleportation Pod from The Fly II! “You can have it in your living room!”, adds Head Of Consignor and Client Relations, Brian Chanes, who’s adventures tracking down this stuff were once chronicled on SyFy’s reality show, “Hollywood Treasures” back in 2010.
“We’re not selling stuff we’re selling memories,” says Joe Moe, catalog editor. “It travels with us through time and keeps us plugged into this escapism, art, craft and the magic of moviemaking that’s a unique American tradition.”
Take a trip to the Profiles In History warehouse in Episode 68 of The Boo Crew Podcast for the fascinating stories behind the items (also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts)!

After winding down June with discussions of our vey first William Castle film Homicidal (listen) and queer director Roland Emmerich’s summer tentpole Independence Day (listen), we’re heading back to 1981 to check out Joe Dante‘s seminal werewolf film The Howling.
The Howling sees television journalist Karen White (Dee Wallace) attend a psychiatric retreat with her husband Bill (Christopher Stone) after being attacked and traumatized by local serial killer Eddie Quist (Robert Picardo). It isn’t long before Karen realizes that the retreat is actually a secret cult of werewolves, and they’ve already got their sights set on Bill.

Episode 394: The Howling (1981)
Make note of that smiley face sticker and snag that conveniently-placed jar of acid because we’re talking Joe Dante’s stealth werewolf classic The Howling (1981)!
Join us as we discuss the film’s deviations from its source material before doing a deep dive into this very tongue-in-cheek, self-aware horror film. It honestly feels like a precursor to Scream, in many ways!
Plus: Roger Corman (again!) those incredible special effects, differentiating “color movies” from “movies in color,” and why queer icon Elisabeth Brooks has us going “Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!”
Cross out The Howling!
Coming Up Next: We’re tackling our very first Ken Russell film with a look at his controversial 1984 erotic thriller Crimes of Passion!
