While gathering photos for that video,
I stumbled upon Mister Ed's legs!
Well, they aren't his, but they are real taxidermy horse legs,
which were used for close-up leg stunts on the show.
Back Lot Charlie has quite a collection of classic TV props.
Here's some of my favorites:
Iron Maiden prop from The Addams Family
Oh wow! Great TV props, I'm not sure what to think of the taxidermy horse legs though :)
ReplyDeleteThe birth of special effects! Fantastic makeup artists to be sure! xDebi
ReplyDeleteThose legs are kinda creepy... but I think at the time was the best option to emulate horse legs.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of the items are lovely, 2 of my favourite tv shows.

Thanks for the link to the Addams props, Holly! I'm going to have fun browsing that site! :) I've read that a lot of the fantastic props on the Addams set disappeared after the show wasn't renewed, so it's good to know some of them survived for a little show and tell. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're quite welcome! I'm so glad some of them survived too.
DeleteIt looks like Mr. Ed is locked in the pillory. What's he being punished for?
ReplyDeleteMaybe for talking too much? lol. I need to see that episode.
DeleteHorse legs, eh? Good for counting!
ReplyDeleteOkay, just choked on my coffee a little from laughing, Rhissanna! ;D
DeleteLOL! True!
DeleteWinter, Prudence, and Dani ~ I'm glad you enjoyed these props! Sorry for creeping you out with the horse legs, but that's my job! lol. To post creepy curiosities that is. :)
