Priest, Queen Vampire Hero SFX claws w blood tube

original movie prop

This is a set of Queen special effects insert hands from the 2011 post apocalyptic sci-fi film Priest. The hands can be seen in the film as Black Hat (Karl Urban) recalls being spared from death by the Queen after raiding her lair with his fellow Priests. The Vampire Queen slices open a wrist and feeds Black Hat her blood, making him the first Vampire/Human hybrid. These hands were created specifically for the shots of the blood dripping out of the arm.

The pair of arm appliances are crafted out of foam latex and feature a highly detailed, black and purple-tone painted exterior. Both exhibit a full set of sharp, resin claws, as well as a thick fin that runs the outside length of the arm. The left handed arm features a long clear tube that runs along the interior of the appliance and is attached to a large syringe at the other end. This special effects system was used to make the Queen appear as though she is bleeding during filming and still features remnants of dried fake vampire blood. Both pieces display light wear from production use but overall remain in very good condition. The arms measure approximately 25" (64cm) in length and the tube extends 60" (153cm) from the appliance's base.
