A demon puppet arm from Ivan Reitman’s supernatural comedy Ghostbusters. Demonic arms burst through a chair and grabbed Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) while she was sitting in her apartment. This arm was created for the shots in which Barrett’s chair was dragged across the room, as the gloved puppeteers used in closeups could not move along with the chair.
This demon arm puppet comes from the collection of Ghost Shop creature effects supervisor Stuart Ziff. It’s made of brown latex foam with synthetic hair and painted resin claws over a metal base with a white nylon elastic cable extending from the arm and secured to the base. This arm exhibits a crack in the frame, ripping latex foam, a missing claw exposing the foam, and wear to the cable. Dimensions: 24″ x 4″ x 4″ (61 cm x 10.25 cm x 10.25 cm)
This comes from the collection of effects pioneer Stuart Ziff. Upon moving to Edlund’s Entertainment Effects Group (later renamed Boss Film Studios) in 1983, Ziff headed the 50-person “Ghost Shop” responsible for the groundbreaking demonic special effects in Ivan Reitman’s comedy classic Ghostbusters.
