Original Prosthetic Mask From the Classic TWILIGHT ZONE Episode "Eye of the Beholder" is Up For Auction
If you’re a fan of The Twilight Zone, then I know you’re familiar with the episode “The Eye of the Beholder”. It’s considered by many to be one of the best episodes of the series.
I’ve recently learned that one of the original pig-nose prosthetic masks that was used in the episode is going up for auction next month. I love The Twilight Zone and I’ve collected a few Twilight Zone items over the years. I’d love to own this, but unfortunately I don’t have $10,000 to spend on it.
I’m surprised that there’s still one of these that exists! That in itself is pretty cool. Comisar ended up getting the piece from the late Forrest J. Ackerman, who was the magazine editor and sci-fi literary agent who represented famous authors such as Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov.
The pig nose prosthetic is “made of a thin foam latex and has been professionally conserved by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.”
The film and TV memorabilia company, Prop Store, will be auctioning off the pig nose on December 1, 2018 from the collection of James Comisar, who is a famous collector of TV props.
If there was one prop from The Twilight Zone series that you could own what would it be?
