Electric Nose Cleaner
A silly vintage novelty gag gift in a box that I saw at an antique mall yesterday-- and one that instantly made me ponder two things: Is this the finger prop they used as the Tall Man's severed finger in the first Phantasm film? And second, how many people actually used this squirmy thing in their nose and not in / on some other random body opening? From the person who has everything-- the world may never know!

ReplyDeleteI'd feel a little freeky about plugging that into the wall and then inserting it into my nose or whatever. That's a lot of AC to be wired directly into a body part.
ReplyDeleteI definitely vote for this being the PHANTASM finger. Is there still anybody around to ask?
With a little ingenuity one could use this as the antagonist in a straight-to-video horror movie titled "The Severed Finger of Guilt"
ReplyDeleteAll one needs is a modern day Ed Wood and the horrible horror can begin.
I wouldn't plug this thing in until an electrician examined it closely to see if there are any loose wires or if it could be converted to run off of a 9 volt battery.
>Ugh!!! The Fickle Finger of Fate
ReplyDeleteNot as bad as The Pickled Finger of Hate!
