Stephen Lane, Propstore chief executive, said: “Propstore’s upcoming Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction has something for every horror enthusiast. One of my personal favourites is Kurt Russell’s hat from The Thing (1982), which provides fans with a rare chance to own a piece of John Carpenter’s classic.

“We’ve got everything covered, from the fun of Shaun of the Dead to the sheer terror of Sinister 2. These lots capture some of the most unforgettable moments in horror history.”
