Ford's Blade Runner gun and Frankenstein poster sell

The recession has yet to hit the Hollywood memorabilia market - Harrison Ford's blaster gun from Blade Runner and an original Frankenstein movie poster have just sold at auction for more than £133,300 each.

Ford's Rick Deckard sci-fi weapon, the only firing gun used in the cult film, went under the hammer for a whopping £180,000, while the 1931 poster stunned Profiles In History auction house bosses when it fetched £144,000.

Other highlights of the spring memorabilia sale, which brought in over £2.6 million, included the Creature From The Black Lagoon's mask, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze costume from Batman & Robin and Derek Meers' Jason Voorhees costume from Friday the 13th.

Also going under the hammer were two velociraptors feeding on a triceratops display from Jurassic Park, Ray Park's Darth Maul fighting lightsaber from Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace and the cape worn by Bela Lugosi in a string of Dracula movies.
