In one of the most memorable scenes of the film, the dinner party erupts into a rendition of the Banana Boat song and then, just as they sit down to dinner, are attacked by the shrimp cocktail! This “Killer Shrimp” puppet is constructed of foam latex, completely hand-painted and detailed with fabric shrimp tails at the fingers’ ends. Custom mounted to a grey resin bowl exactly like the dinner setting from the scene in the film.
