One look at this thing brought back about a 1,000 different nightmares of being alone in a relatives dark basement and discovering one of these on the wall. Seriously, why were these made?
My Uncle Bud had one, and when he passed away, he left it to me. It's in a box. I'm too terrified to have it in the open. He loved to spray that thing. One time, the water got in my mouth. Horrifying and very plasticky.
Due to recent events, I'm limiting comments to google account holders only. Sorry if you're a decent person affected by this but the spam has gotten weird.
I'm gonna say they were made b/c David Crosby needed money to pay back taxes.
ReplyDeleteThis is sorta like the 70's equivalent to the junk they sell in skymall.
ReplyDeleteEarly version of those talking fish, Big Mouth Bass, that sort of thing. Down right scary, I understand why you'd have the nightmares.
ReplyDeleteJust a novelty item. Very 70s, very kitsch. I'd rather have a macrame wall hanging; those absorb sound and look better.
My Grandpa had one of these!

Dear god, make it stop!
ReplyDeleteNo, it's still there!
OMG, my grandma had one of these in her basement rumpus room! I haven't thought about the ghastly thing in years!
ReplyDeleteThe Laffun Head - created by Peter Laffun. The nightmare of all children growing up in the 70s.
ReplyDeleteArchie Bunker had a Santa Claus one!
ReplyDeleteMy mother had one, but it was a wizard. The laugh was very disturbing.
