“The Shining” Ax, “Jaws” Prop Fin, and More Up For Auction to Collectors!

Horror movie memorabilia and the horror fandom go hand in hand in a beautiful unholy matrimony of genre devotion; and now a couple of super lucky, and assumingly rich, fans get to own some of horror flick’s most coveted props.

I’m already insanely jealous.

The prop ax that Jack Nicholson used on-screen in the film is now available on the auction website Gotta Have Rock and Roll. The prop comes with “a 25 x 2.5 x 40.5 shadow box frame with photos from the film” for display and multiple documents that certify authenticity. At the time of writing this little diddy, a little less than a week remains on the auction, with the current bid standing at $60,000 with only three bidders waging war like Jack smashing down a door.

More attainable however financially speaking for us peasants, is a really cool JAWS prop fin. It’s described as in “very good condition” and of course also comes with a certificate of authenticity. Even better, there NO BIDS on this as of currently, which is wild to me as the minimum bid is only $1,000. Considering everything, that’s not a bad deal.

Anyways, if you have some money to blow, I wouldn’t be mad if you used it on this my nostalgic nuggets. Happy auctioning!

Along with “Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark“, R.L. Stine’s “Goosebumps” books were the ultimate horror gateway for young kids looking to expand their minds into a dark, but fun world of the genre. So, it’s no surprise here that we, now adults, nostalgic-driven fans have been getting hot doses of our childhood in cool collabs such as Horror Vans and cookbooks featuring the Garbage Pail Kids. Add to that now New Balance along with a collab with NBA Superstar and Goosebumps superfan Kawhi Leonard with a sneakerhead drop of Monster Blood proportions- The Goosebumps New Balance Sneaker!

According to SportsKeeda.com, The Goosebumps sneaker is scheduled to drop this month on Wednesday, April 20, 2022, at 10.00 am EST on the New Balance site and Footlocker.

Decked out with spooky Stine details, the shoe is a fine way to help celebrate the Goosebumps line of literary gold, which actually turns the dirty 30 this year!
