"On the night that I go back in time at 1:30 am, you will be shot by terrorists. Pease take whatever precautions are necessary to prevent this disaster.
Your Friend,
Marty"
This was the most fun that I have ever had making my own prop replica. Mainly because it's from my favorite movie, Back to the Future. It's Marty McFly's warning letter to Doc Brown.
I copied the text exactly from the paused DVD on my computer. The "Lou's Cafe" logo I found online and modified. After I had finished the letter, I scanned it into my PC and printed it off. Stained in with coffee. When it had dried, I stuck it into an envelope and tore it up. I pieced it together with gloss tape and folded it just like the real one.
And viola! My own prop replica of Marty's letter to Doc.
I also have the 1955 version, which is actually a completely different copy of the letter, down to the writing of the words. On a side note, Michael J. Fox actually wrote the letters out, rather than someone in the art department.
So, there you have it. Me, giddy as a school boy. ;D
