It is a rare that a remake of a cult classic is as good as the original, but Philip Kaufman did just that with his 1978 version of one of the all time paranoia horror films ever made, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". A film which originally in it's 1956 original form had more to do with McCarthyism than alien invasions, the paranoia that Kaufman invokes in the remake (we will forget about the 2007 version, as if it never happened) is just as horrific. And perhaps the most gut retching sequence is near the end where Donald Sutherland puts his wife Brooke Adams in a field just for a moment, then comes back to her, only to find she has fallen asleep (the method in which one is transformed into a Pod Person is to fall asleep). Holding her in his arms, she suddenly disintegrates, and her pod duplicate appears behind him in the tall grass. This is a magnificent life size head and hair duplicate of Brooke Adams just at the moment of transformation. It was created for the film by the legendary Special Effect Make Up wizards Tom and Bari Burman. It is made of silicone with hand-punched human hair and prosthetic grade glass eyes. This amazing piece was built for the production as a failsafe (which is why it also includes a bust with bare breasts), since at the time supposedly Adams wasn't sure if she wanted to do the nude scene "live". Since this was to be Adams as a pod person, or perhaps actually used as Southerland holds Adams in his arms as she "dissolved", it was designed to give a creepy alien look to her eyeballs, which were specially made to be not quite human looking as she transforms into a pod person. Two small rubber tubes are still attached to the inside of the head to create the appearance of her "shrinking into nothing" as we see in this sequence. A portion of the right and left arms have fallen off, and there is a small indentation on the left breast. It has a fiberglass base. (Measures approx. 21"x21"x11"). Oversized item. Additional postage required.
