creepy old lady cackling (laffun head)

this used to be hanging in my aunts house...
it was really creepy. it had a cord to pull, and she would laugh and pop her tongue out. i believe there was a tube hidden in her mouth and she would spit as well if you added water.

UPDATE: 2011.05.17
i found out these may be called "laffun heads." i don't know why people were talking about it on a dating site, but they were: http://www.datehookup.com/Thread-562950.htm
some guy posted a bunch of videos, but they're all on youtube, so just search LAFFUN. also, there are some photos on flickr.

where was that filmed? i love it!

to @fairgrounddiva, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

Someone else on youtube has a video of one almost exactly alike. I don't know who made them or how many or any of those details. My Aunt didn't have it when we were really young, so she probably bought it at a flea market, or some place like that, in PA.

@pinkarmycom Josh Freese, the drummer from A Perfect Circle amoung other bands is trying to find one for sale. Are you willing to sell it?

@scotjames12 that's awesome, i ♥ APC, but sorry... i don't own it, my aunt did.. and she no longer does. since i found out today that they were called "laffun heads" i googled and saw that they have sold on ebay in the past, but none listed right now. someone else messaged me about buying it, so check often for listings or you may miss your chance.

My grandmother had one of these ...it was like 1985 so I had to of been about 5. It scared the crap out of me. Recently I tried to find out of she still had it but she had thrown it out years ago. I was hoping to mentally disturb a new young kid.

@scotjames12 there is one listed on E-bay right now for $9.99 if you're still looking for one, although the person listing it says that it didn't work when they tried putting a battery in it. hope this helps.
