Tales From The Darkside, Original Pilot, Trick or Treat Molds

original make-up / prosthetics

Set of two different devil horns from the finale of the pilot episode of Tales from the Darkside entitled Trick or Treat. These were created by Ed French (makeup artist).

These molds have quite an interesting story behind them. The individual who had previously owned these, had worked on a project together with Ed in 1987. One day he had called Ed up on the phone and while he spoke to Ed, he heard smashing sounds. This prompted the individual to ask -- whats that noise, Ed? I cant take everything with me when I move to LA so Im throwing stuff out, he said. With that, the individual told Ed to stop and hed be right over. That same day he came in with a big van and was given a bunch of molds. Eds attitude was (the molds to these monster shows had served their purpose and were expendable). This individual grabbed what he could find and the rest were junked. Lost forever...
