Prop Store is pleased to bring vampire Dwayne’s (Billy Wirth) Death Scene Leather Jacket and Costume from the 80’s classic The Lost Boys to auction in our Greg Cannom Online Auction. Joel Schumacher’s 1987 vampire classic pitted a deadly group of vampires against a pair of brothers in a battle to save their family. The Dwayne vampire jacket on offer comes from the character’s death scene in which Sam (Corey Haim) shoots the vampire with an arrow, sending him back into a stereo which electrocutes him. Resembling a heavily worn biker outfit, this black leather Schott jacket features a hand-painted jaguar on the right shoulder, which extends down the arm. The sleeves have been cut from at the elbow to accommodate Dwayne’s arms exploding during his electrocution. A long cut in the back of the jacket was likely involved with hiding the extensive effects rigging used to explode the character’s arms and head. Offered with the jacket is a pair black Levi jeans marked “B. Wirth” on the inside, referring to the actor.
This Lost Boys jacket is one of many lots in our Greg Cannom Auction, which will include over 150 lots of masks, maquettes, costumes, creature effects pieces and production ephemera spanning the award-winning artist’s decorated career. The lots will be open for bidding for a 2-week-long auction period, starting February 15th.
Over 50 films from Cannom’s 40-year career are represented in the auction, including Bram Stoker’s Dracula, The Mask, The Rocketeer, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Hook and Masters of The Universe. There’s even something for Star Wars fans as the auction includes a Darth Vader helmet casting made from the original molds in order to be taken on a promotional tour following the release of Episode IV: A New Hope!
