Tales from the Crypt, Killer Santa hero axe

original movie prop weapon

This is the screen used hero Santa axe from the famous Tales from the Crypt episode  "And All Through the House." There were two axes used in this episode, the hero and a rubber stunt. I acquired this prop directly from a prop maker who worked on the first season. When the prop shop he worked at closed down he was able to take both axes with him. The stunt has sadly been destroyed after he gave it to his martial arts teacher who used it for self defense classes where it ultimately met its demise. This axe was also featured in the wrap around story at the end where the cryptkeeper dawned his famous line "Be careful what you axe for... Because you might just get it!!"
