- By Chris Hastings ARTS CORRESPOND­ENT

FILM fans have a rare opportunit­y to get their hands on authentic Hollywood memorabili­a as hundreds of costumes and props go under the hammer.

Among the classic items listed for sale next month are Freddy Krueger’s razor glove from A Nightmare On Elm Street, the helmet worn by Russell Crowe in Gladiator, and a Star Wars X-wing starfighte­r model.

In total, the movie memorabili­a is worth an estimated £5.5 million.

Stephen Lane, founder and chief executive of Prop Store, which has organised the three-day online sale, told The Mail on Sunday: ‘People get hugely excited about going back and revisiting the film and having the artefacts next to them while they are watching it.’

A special effects model of an X-wing starfighte­r, which featured in one of the key battle scenes in the 1983 Star Wars film Return Of The Jedi, could go for as much as £300,000 – despite it measuring just three inches high and 12 inches wide.

Crowe’s gladiator’s helmet and face shield is expected to fetch about £50,000. The razor glove from horror film A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is expected to raise about £30,000.
