Omen, The (1976) paper props suggestions?

[JANDERS10]

I'm thinking about doing a run of OMEN props using some of my own collection and creating some others. But wondered if anyone has any suggestions as to what to have in it, or indeed any contributions?

I'll start the ball rolling:

Newspaper with impaled priest on the cover.
Jennings the photographers' photos.
Science mag page referring to Star of Bethlehem on opposite hemisphere.

 

[JANDERS10]

No takers? Well that'll just be me then.
Going to set about these first :

Sugguestion: birth notice / society column notice for Damien.

Article about ambassadorship?

Article / obit about nanny death? (It's all for you, Damien!)


-MJ

 

[JANDERS10]

Good ideas Brody.
The society notices are in the pile in the photos.
Want to get hold of an official Ambassadorship to the Court of Saint James....!!!
Obits are a good idea, got some good pics of the nannys death.
You understand about summer dollars Brody?

 

[Mike J.]

Thanks. No idea what summer dollars are.


-Mike J.

 

[JANDERS10]

Just an obscure line from JAWS.

 

[Mike J.]

Ah, right.

Amity needs summer dollars.

Thank you, mister ... Quint.

How about a polaroid of Yigael's wall, showing Damiens face? It wasn't a paper prop in the movies but it might be a cool little display piece.

 

[JANDERS10]

Yigaels Wall polaroid? Good idea.
At least it would get around the fact the adult Damien is not seen (of course).

Got a little further with this.

At this festive time, I thought I’d post some progress on his opposite number:
“Rejoice then, you heavens and you that dwell in them. But woe to you on earth, for the devil hath come down to you in great fury, knowing that his time is short…”
List of items now finalised:
Impaled Priest newspaper.
Anit-Star of Bethlehem Astrologers page
Newspaper Damien Birth announcement
Damiens Birth certificate
Bible rythme.
Jennings photographs
Jennings death CCTV photos

Had a little tinker some more with this...

 

[JANDERS10]

Okay,
Settled on a final list of items, a mix of some props I have made, others replicated from my own collection.
Look out in the JUNKYARD.

I asked in the JY but I will also ask here.
Could you provide better photos of your newspaper and the screen cap so we can see the accuracy?
The rpf are sicklers for accuracy and before purchase it might help to show more photos

Thanks

 

[JANDERS10]

Thanks for your interest, please see my response in the JUNKYARD.
But you can always buy one, and compare for yourself rather than take my word for it ?

 

[Moviefreak]

I decided to post back over here as to not hinder or waste space in your sales thread.

After looking closer at the photos, most pieces you replicated have the wrong fonts.
Any chance you can work on changing that? Many of us look to buy items as close as possible to screen used and when replicating paper props, the fonts used are 99.9% important to achieving that goal. Thanks.

 

[JANDERS10]

If you has chosen to comment while the progress pics were up, anytime over the last FOUR years (before Imageshack discontinued them a few weeks ago) I might have been able to view them as constructive.

 

[Moviefreak]

Sorry I missed those. Since this didn't bump for two years, I never knew it existed. When you bumped it one day ago it was finally on my radar :lol
Sorry to offend you by asking. Best of luck with the sale.

how for have you got would love to see some of these on hte forum. I'm a big Omen fan myself

 

[Odin82]

I know I'm a bit late to the thread, but damn, if I'm searching Omen paper props, surely there must be others also from now and then.

If anyone has a VHSrip of the first film, or a FS cut of the film on DVD, the movie after the intro has freeze frames of the family which could be used as photos (attached some below). Anyone have a Full Screen copy that could take screen caps and post them? Might make good Polaroid/disposable camera style photos.
