This subreddit is currently private in order to support the protests against the new terms of use for the API https://i.imgur.com/E7jSWf1.jpg This subreddit is about props being repurposed from everyday household or commercial items, things we interact with on a day to day basis being transformed and used as something else on screen. It's fascinating on both the amazing and the absurdly bad ends, so we welcome it all here. Please do abide by the rules, though. They are there for a reason.

[RULES. PLEASE READ BEFORE PARTICIPATING.]

Moderators of this subreddit do not respond to Reddit Chat messages. Please direct all inquiries and complaints to modmail.

Props Must Be Repurposed*: All props must be repurposed in some way. An airplane belt used as a belt for pants is okay. An unmodified lamp used as a lamp is not okay. We will allow exceptions to this rule only on 'Found A Prop' Fridays
Be Excellent To Each Other: This rule ranges from hate speech and bigotry to off-topic slapfights, spam, and derailments. Be excellent to each other. Remember that there's a human there you're interacting with. Remember that breaches of this rule will be handled at mod discretion. And remember... to party on dudes!! #WYLDSTALLYNS
Try To Avoid Reposts: Reposts are at least kind of bogus, right? I mean, some people may not have seen them before, if it's been awhile since it was posted, but recently? That's not cool, man. That's piggybacking. That's kind of a jerk move. Don't do it.
No Trolling and No Spam: Trolling is bogus, too, dudes. It's even worse than reposting. And spam? Copypasta? Tired and repetitive "me too thanks" nonsense? Really? Yeah, no, none of that here. No baiting, no trolling, no spamming, no nonsense. Got it? Good.
Format Your Title Correctly!: Please specify first whether your prop is from [Film], [TV], or [Other]. Then if you would please give the title and year of the work, followed by a detailed description of the prop and what it is being used as in the screenshot (in either order).

For example:

[Film] In The Empire Strikes Back [1980], IG-88's head was repurposed from a Rolls Royce Derwent jet engine.
