The Sentinel, Original Ghost Reference Head

original movie prop

The original production made this head for the classic horror film Sentinel (1977). This head can be seen as the ghost that cut an eyeball and chipped a nose with a knife. This is a plaster pull head from the original Dick Smith mold. This painted plaster head would have been used as SFX reference test head, helping to construct the head of the screen used version. It was beautifully sculpted and even has a silicon eye insert that can be seen if you look closely at the photos. Every detail from the original movie mold is here.
