Description

Life size hero, desiccated "pod person" prop from Body Snatchers. Life size hero, desiccated "pod person" prop from Body Snatchers. (Warner Bros., 1993) Having re-imagined the alien pod people for Philip Kaufman's highly successful 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, husband and wife makeup wizards Tom and Bari Burman were hired to take the pods even further for Abel Ferrara's intense Sci-Fi thriller, Body Snatchers. This startling latex-skinned and foam-filled prop depicts a "pod person" in mid-transition from seedpod to full-fledged humanoid. The life-sized, head and torso piece measures 40 x 20 x 6 in. with left arm (no hand) and is finished with an expertly punched head of hair. This is one of the few hero pieces to survive from this landmark production. This prop is in production, used fair condition.
