A Ghostface mask from Wes Craven's Scream 2 autographed by Craven. Windsor College students Phil Stevens (Omar Epps) and Maureen Evans (Jada Pinkett), who shared names with victims from the Woodsboro Massacre, fell victim to the new Ghostface killer when they attended a preview of the Scream-inspired film-within-a-film "Stab."
Widely regarded as one of the strongest sequels in horror and among the greatest entries in the Scream franchise, Scream 2 utilized a modified version of the Ghostface mask from Fun World's "Fearsome Faces" line, with such notable alterations from the first installment as a new eye shape, a hood made from cotton, exposed indented lines from the molding process, and an indented chin. An enduring figure of horror in pop culture, Ghostface is today one of the most recognizable villains in film history.
This Fun World mask originates from assistant prop master Darian Corley. Built from PVC, it features an attached cotton hood adorned with side tassels and sewn with a fastening strip for securing to Ghostface's robe, another modification unique to Scream 2's Ghostface masks; black mesh-covered eyes; a blackened mouth and nose; and exposed indented lines, another such modification. The underside of the chin is debossed with the "Fun World Div" copyright debossed into the PVC.
The forehead of the mask was signed by Craven in black ink on the set of Scream 2, making it extremely rare. The mask shows evidence of discoloration and ink bleed from the autograph together with wear consistent with on-set use, handling, and age.
Estimate: $25,000 - 50,000
