md:leading-8 break-words\">The sale comprises more than 1,000 props, including Freddy Krueger\u2019s razor-claw glove from A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010) and a Ghostface mask from Scream (2022).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Billy puppet, which comes from the personal collection of the film\u2019s director Darren Lynn Bousman, is known for the phrase \u201cI want to play a game\u201d and is used by killer John Kramer (Jigsaw) to deliver instructions to his victims.<\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Man holding a Billy puppet from the film

lots at the auction is a stunt version of the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis from Evil Dead II (1987), an ancient book filled with prophecies that is expected to fetch between 50,000 to 100,000 dollars (\u00a337,215 \u2013 \u00a374,430).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One of the older props is a statue from Stanley Kubrick\u2019s 1980 masterpiece The Shining, which depicts
