Icons of Darkness presents sci-fi, fantasy, and horror film memorabilia
Movie buffs can see the most extensive privately-owned collection of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror film artifacts on earth at the Icons of Darkness exhibition at Hollywood & Highland in Los Angeles.
Curated and collected over the last 60 years – and representing over 100 years of film history –the Icons of Darkness exhibition is a unique opportunity for the public to view hundreds of authentic items for the first time ever.
The exhibition features screen-used props, original costumes, life casts, production-made maquettes, makeup effects heads, and artifacts from some of Hollywood’s most famous sci-fi, fantasy, and horror classics, including “Dracula,” “Frankenstein,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “Spider-Man,” “Edward Scissorhands,” “Silence of the Lambs,” “Lord of the Rings,” “Game of Thrones,” as well as items from the blockbuster Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Terminator, Harry Potter, and Batman franchises.
Collected by director, actor, and producer Rich Correll (“Leave It To Beaver,” “Happy Days,” “Laverne and Shirley,” “Full House,” “Married With Children,” “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody,” and “Hannah Montana”), Icons of Darkness serves as a showcase for the many items he acquired to honor the work of personal acquaintances such as Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, Vincent Price, Alfred Hitchcock, John Landis, Rick Baker, John Carpenter, Joe Dante, Peter Jackson, and Rob Zombie.
