The Silence of the Lambs (1991) - Hero Night Vision Goggles

Original night vision goggles from the 1991 classic Silence of the Lambs. Jodie Foster stars as Clarice Starling, a top student at the FBI's training academy. Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn) wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out. In one of the most terrifying sequences from this iconic Academy Best Picture film, the serial killer "Buffalo Bill" (Tedd Levine) stalks "Agent Clarice Starling" (Jodie Foster) in his dark cavernous basement using these original prop binocular night vision goggles. These goggles feature 2-objective lenses mounted to the facemask/binocular assembly and come with elastic head straps for affixing to the wearer's face. Exhibiting production wear, the goggles remain in good condition, capturing the authenticity of their use in the unnerving scene of the movie. The item comes with an LOA from one of the film's producers (Ken Utt) and prop master (Anne Miller). it also is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Studio Auctions.
