Salem’s Lot Enamel Fan Art Pin by Artist Create or Destroy — Estimated Value $10
Each month comes with an enamel BAM pin. This month’s pin for Salem’s Lot came in three different design variants. I didn’t receive one of the limited edition pins, but I did get the one that is designed after the original mini-series awesome original poster art.
Soska Sisters Autographed Photo - Retail Value Unavailable
This month included a signed photograph from the directors of American Mary, The Soksa Sisters. There were two variants of photos signed by the sisters, but the limited edition box also included a signed director’s clipboard. I did not receive the clipboard in my box, but that is okay. The photo, as always, includes a certificate of authenticity.
Amulet of Pazuzu Head Replica by Dark Matters Props — Estimated Value $16.99
Pazuzu was the main demonic antagonist in the classic, The Exorcist. This stone replica is incredibly well made. It has enough weight on it to use as a paperweight. I sense I will be gifting it to my cousin for this birthday (don’t tell him!) because he also is a big horror movie fiend. He got me into movies like Nightmare on Elm Street growing up and I know The Exorcist is a favorite of his, so I was rather excited to receive this piece.
Nancy’s Replica Hypnocil Prop Pill Bottle from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 — Retail Value Unavailable
The second replica included in this month’s box is of the bottle of pills that fell from Nancy’s hand in Nightmare on Elm St 3: Dream Warriors. This is a cool piece, but I can’t imagine the retail value or collectability of this item being high. I wouldn’t mind seeing a piece involving the TV death scene. It is classic!
BAM! Box Exclusive Insidious Fan Art Collection Exclusive Print by Steve Jenks — Retail Value Unavailable
Finally, we have a print by the illustrator, Steve Jenks, that is themed after the movie, Insidious. The art print comes in two variations: one in monochromatic grey/green and the other in shades of purple. I did not receive the rarer of the two this time around. I have not seen the Insidious movies, so I was a bit indifferent about this selection. This print also comes along with a certificate of authenticity like all art prints BAM! Horror includes in their boxes.
Verdict: This month’s box was a rough follow up to last month’s amazing December box. The items I liked best were the Salem’s Lot pin and Amulet of Pazuzu Head replica from The Exorcist, but I wasn’t wowed like I was last month. Even though I am a big Nightmare on Elm Street fan, the replica chosen seemed cheap and lackluster. This month’s box was a rocky one, but I am still eager to see what February’s BAM! Horror Box will bring!
