I just bought a couple of these, one to use as is and planned to mangle the other into something. After opening it up I realized, as you did, that this looks just like dr shivers' head. Im glad it didnt look like just an old guy hehe, especially since what he says sounds liek hes reading fortunes, its almost exactly what the gypsy spirit ball says.

After playing a bit with one head I now am inspired to go back and buy more to mod, just like your doing. Im glad you posted because its given me some ideas. Im not technical enough to literally hack the audio or anything but thought, well, I can rip his face off and put a new one on alright, and he has a mic, so I can hook him up to some prerecorded audio or talk thru him with my female voice. (like if I wanted to make he a she type of creature. ) Also, all the tales from the crypt stuff as of late (and me watching them recently) makes me want to get some crypt keeper audio and mask and make a sitting prop where he talks, my sister could be his hand actor, it might be cool.

Those of us who dont have any cool fortune tellers can make a booth to sit in and hand out candy while talking through the mic to make the spirit ball (in whatever you make it look like) move and speak. I thought these things and plan to go back tomorrow and hope theres still some spirit balls left. I know I left behind 3 total, so I have to plan what to use them for and where on earth to store them, lol.

I really like your idea and how you plan to set up. Im not familiar with dalek-like bodies but im thinking it must be gruesome, I think how you plan to use your setup is brilliant, I love it.

One thing I might suggest is a transformation box. Very easy to make and it was a hit at our party with adults so I'm sure the kiddies will love it. Dont have a how to but did made a video using the pics:

Transformation Box

A witch from Canada also had some really cool props for her lab made from normal every day stuff. You might want to check out her photobucket as well.

Your plan sounds great!

Here's a wikipedia link to the daleks. They were from The Dr. Who sci-fi series done in Britian but aired here in the U.S. Very sci-fi but picture a human head on top for my idea. They were "all machine" out to exterminate the humans. Anyways think of these guys on a Roomba.

Another example of my idea would be Commander Christopher Pike from Star Trek (old B&W episodes) Pike was more recently shown in the last movie done but I think they showed Pike in a mobile apparatus in the early shows.
