ITEM
I would like to know where you acquired it. I would love to replace the one I received. I appreciate your help.

Toward the end of the movie when the parents are packing up the house they scan a table, with a small ceramic statue of the Virgin Mary holding a flower with a bird on it. My Godmother had one that lit up. When she died, my cousin gave to me. Unfortunately, it broke into a many pieces.

MUSIC

Awhile ago, I won an Ebay auction for what was supposed to be the original Virgin Mary statuette (bust?) prop used in the movie. In lieu of a certificate of authenticity from American Zoetrope or Paramount Studios, the seller had a backstory explaining how she acquired it. It 'd been passed from one sex partner to another, starting with a member of the film crew and ending with her, in the Pacific Northwest. That I haven't been able to find another one on Ebay over the years doesn't alleviate me of my skepticism about it.

It doesn't matter how many pictures you show it of Virgin Marys bleeding from the eyes, it doesn't do it.
