The Baby Head Theremin Is the Stuff of Nightmares

Are you sleeping too well? Well, let’s change that right now. The only thing creepier than the decapitated bald head of a doll is one with light-up red eyeballs, and that makes all kinds of haunting sounds when you get near it.

What you’re looking at – and about to listen to – is a custom built photo-theremin that emits those weird and wild sci-fi noises when you place your hand above its head.

The Worst Things for Sale points out that you can actually buy one of these things over on Amazon if you really want to. The XLPC Photo Theremin is available with a baby doll head, an alien head, a skull head, or in a slightly less creepy standalone version.
