Fantastic screen-used prop corpse torso from the X-Files episode ‘Elegy,’ season four, episode 22, which originally aired on May 4, 1997. The female mannequin torso, with attached blood-stained nightgown and ornate floral hat, approximately measuring 11 x 27.5 x 9.5, is constructed of wood, plaster, and faux eyelashes, with gruesome makeup effects detailing the victim’s slashed throat. A tag suspended from the hat reads: “X145, Women’s Torso, with slit throat.” In fine condition, with some chipping to facial makeup and a few missing eyelashes, and a single tassel from hat detached but present. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Hollywood CPR, in part: “Please know that Hollywood Cinema Production Resources (Hollywood CPR) certifies that the item you have purchased on Sothebys.com through EntertainmentRarities.com was donated to Hollywood CPR from the studio that produced The X-Files.” The Elegy episode follows Scully and Mulder as they track down a killer and discover that the ghosts of the victims, each with a severed larynx to prevent cries for help, appear in the area where their bodies are found. A wonderfully unsettling piece of special effects from the popular science fiction series.
