In looking at the pictures I posted last night, I am surprised no one mentioned "the foot" dangling in front of the BRIDE AND THE BEAST poster. Yes, that is a "foot" (in a very grungy-looking sock). It's part of prop that was supposed to have come from the old MOVIELAND WAX MUSEUM's "TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE" exhibit. The "certificate of authenticity" that came with it, I am sure, is bogus. It says that it was used at the museum (which is plausible) and that it was originally in the movie and came directly from the set. That is a load of bull. I've seen the film several times since getting this thing and there are NO body parts (this is a cutoff at the waist pair of legs) in the movie. If anything, it may have come from the sequel. The pants are totally 80s---not early 70s. But I guess I'll never know. The gruesome "legs" are laying across a cabinet in my dining room... Hmm. Guess I could have gone for more gruesome posters after all. Ha!
Cheers!

Hi. I'm back. I just popped on to show/share the half torso prop of dubious origins. This first picture is the obviously bogus letter of authenticity. While it MIGHT have been part of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre exhibit at Movieland Wax Museum, it was in NO WAY part of the original film. The 80s sequel, possibly...but even that is questionable.
Here's the half-torso prop:
It's obviously a half mannequin..not some latex or foam rubber creation. The visible "skin" has been painted a grayish blue. One leg is broken off at the knee and gone (it did not come with the other foot). The other leg is also broken off at the knee, but is part of the prop.
The yellow "guts" are clearly some sort of foam substance. There is damage from handling/moving/time here and there, but it is still in pretty good shape...just DUSTY.
Why I believe it COULD have been in the wax museum is because it was clearly bolted to the floor (to prevent theft? HOW could you possibly steal a whole pair of legs? Hmm). The first shows a bolt through the surviving leg. The second picture shows a bolt coming out of the butt.
And, as I said, the pants on it are clearly 80s...NOT 70s. Take a look:
I have no where to put it, really. So it sits atop a cabinet in my dining room. Dinner is served? Ha!
So there you have it...my half-roommate! Ha! It would be groovy if it really did come from the old wax museum...and if it was also a real prop from TCM2. But whatever.
I hope everyone is well.
CHEERS!
