Trembling or shaking mechanism

I did a quick search hereand You tube but couldn't find anything. Has anyone ever done a homemade mechanism to make a prop tremble like it had chills or was slightly convulsing? I'm thinking maybe a out of balance flywheel of some kind might work but thought I would pick the local brains . Like a good zombie would.

Thanks for the links. Looks suspiciously like an offset counterweight to me. It also occurred to me that a crankshaft on a small motor might work. I've got a couple small Ebay jobs may give it a try in my "spare" time. Or I could make all my props out of Jello.

The barn has about 50 windows along the walls which if time allows will contain a menagerie of weird critters. Just thought if there were a simple way to make them move slightly it would be cool. There's so much else to do ( like finish another 100 feet of wall) that it's not critical. My mind is just so full of stuff I'd like to do that questions like this are like voices in my head. By Halloween I'll be certifiably crazy.
