In total the auction includes 448 lots. According to Christie’s, this sum is a little over half of the possessions retrieved from Talley’s home and cataloged. “He was very generous and also gave some things to Savannah College of Art and Design and some friends,” says Bonnie Brennan, president of Christie’s Americas. “Not everything was available to us, but we certainly had a lot to choose from.” (The auction was arranged in close conjunction with Talley’s estate, which is overseen by financial consultant Alexis Thomas.)

Getty Images If you’re a Stranger Things fanatic, you’ve likely had a night terror or two about Vecna the monstrous, skeletal villain portrayed by actor Jamie Campbell Bower in season four. Thanks to Vecna’s elaborate and gruesome prosthetics and Bower’s own gravelly voice, the actor has become a world wide phenomenon. (Not to mention, many fans of the show are still in disbelief that Vecna is actually “sexy.”) Of the viral attention he’s gotten from the show, Bower tells Vogue, “I am and always will be incredibly grateful to not only be a part of this show, but also to play this character. The way Matt and Ross [Duffer, the creators of the show] write lends itself to such a desire to strive that, for me, being in Stranger Things is truly the gift that I never thought possible.”
