Fantastic costumes from Disney's Alice in Wonderland movie...

It's always a thrill to see actual costumes on display from a movie you've seen at the cinema, especially when they are such a spectacle as these colourful and extremely detailed creations from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

In addition to a fantastic array of original props from the movie and The Mad Hatter's costume worn by Johnny Depp, the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood also had this wonderful collection of exclusive outfits from the Disney film.

In addition to two intricate Hatter women costumes on display they also had the black and red outfit worn by Crispin Glover as the Red Queen's eye-patch wearing Knave of Hearts, 'Stayne'.

The Colleen Atwood designed costumes were amazing to see up close and included outfits worn by courtiers of both the White Queen and Red Queen.

Freddy Krueger costume and props from A Nightmare on Elm Street remake...

In 1984 Wes Craven introduced the world to a new horror character in the form of the scarred, claw gloved, striped sweater and Fedora wearing villain, 'Freddy Krueger', who haunted teenagers dreams and killed them whilst they slept.

Freddy became an instant horror icon, and Halloween costume staple, spawning seven movie sequels and now a new big screen remake in 2010.

To promote the forthcoming release of the movie remake, ArcLight cinema in Sherman Oaks had this movie costume and prop exhibit from the new movie on display on April 23, 2010.

Here's also a short video of the display and then some more close-up shots of Freddy's claw-gloved hands (in case you wanted the detail to create your own Halloween costume design). Apologies for the quality of some of the images as the sunlight streaming in behind the display made it hard for my camera to focus properly.

Original film props from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland...

In addition to displaying Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter costume from the Disney movie Alice in Wonderland, the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood also had a treasure trove of original props and behind-the-scenes secrets on display on April 14, 2010.

Alice in Wonderland movie prop exhibit

There was a fantastic array of props used to create Tim Burton's surreal and unique vision of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, including weaponry, furnishings and interesting set pieces.

Other items of interest included the collar worn by the 'Bandersnatch' creature and even the infamous bottle marked 'Drink me' and the 'Eat me' cake box to help her grow and shrink during the course of her adventures.

One of the highlights of the movie was Helena Bonham Carter's quirky and hilarious Red Queen. On display was her Mace and the Sceptre shown in one of the movie's promotional posters, plus hats created for her by the Mad Hatter.

The El Capitan exhibit was enlightening because not only did it show you props and costumes featured in the film, but also gave a few insights into how the various creatures and special computer generated effects were created in the movie.

There was a miniature stand-in doll for filming Mia Wasikoska's 'Alice' when she shrank down in size (pictured beside The White Queen's ornate telescope) and also green screen props like swords and the frog footman used for positional guides.

Behind-the-scenes secrets from Alice in Wonderland

Chroma Keying or 'green screen' is a technique for mixing two images or frames together in which a colour (green) from one image is removed, revealing another image behind it. The colour green is used as it is considered least like human skin tone.
