Edison Doll: "...one of the scariest things ever made..."

Post by Cody K »

Well, I guess this is one way of looking at it: http://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2015 ... re-i-wake/

"It’s like an unearthly Carol Kane screaming in a wind tunnel, trapped in the body of a lifeless totem."

Heh.

Ever wonder what a whole bunch of 'em would sound like together? No? Me neither. But that's okay because we have auditory documentation from the time President McKinley gave a speech to an audience of Edison dolls. Listen to the rousing cheer they give him about 49 seconds in -- it's scary enough to make H. P. Lovecraft's blood run cold: https://youtu.be/m6ZUneyU7Vo?t=43s
