Um....isn't that the puppet that Dick Smith built for Ghost story, the one that wasn't used because it was too weird-looking?

Thats the transformation of Alice Krige in Mick Garris' Sleepwalkers.

So Crabby was half right....seeing that Alice Krige was the ghost in Ghost Story.

Well, no, actually, that puppet was built (and photographed) for Ghost Story. Take a look at Cinefantastique Vol 12 #1.

I think the puppet was used in both movies.
Anyone who has seen Sleepwalkers will recall the scene when Alice Krige looks at a cat near her...for a moment she transforms into that puppet and back. That happens 2-3 times in the movie.
Also I have seen the same prop in Ghost Story. So I am pretty sure thats it.

My God, you're right! What I have seen of Sleepwalkers, I saw absent-mindedly and wasn't really paying attention. But yeah, Dick Smith was supposedly disappointed that the puppet wasn't used in Ghost Story because it looked so startling...a sort of a naked-boob nightmare creature.
KNB built a lookalike puppet for some movie, maybe one of the Wishmaster films or one of those movies that features "lots of different monsters"...thumbing through some Fangorias would probably reveal what movie that is...

They used the same kind of design for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it creature in the remake of House on Haunted Hill -- all mouth, no eyes/nose.
But way before any of these flicks, a comic artist named John Byrne created that look for a character in an Alpha Flight comic back in the early 80s. Everytime I see something similar to it in a horror flick, I flashback to that.

And before Byrne there was Basil Wolverton

Umm...Not necessarily "anyone"...haha
I actually OWN that movie (although I haven't watched it in a very long time)...And I seriously don't remember that...Looks like it's time to watch it again :)
What I have seen of Sleepwalkers, I saw absent-mindedly and wasn't really paying attention. I could use this one, too :D
