I heard of this recently and thought I'd post it here. This is a Vincent Price endorsed shrunken head set. You would take an apple, carve a face into it (I'm guessing with tools that were in the set) And then dry it in a container over a light bulb and the apple would shrink (And possibly stink) I never heard of this sort of thing before but I'm reminded of toys like "Creeple People" and "Creepy Crawlers" Which are similar things.

I remember those! I never had one, but I can remember some of the kids at school with their creations hanging from a string around their necks!
I thought they were really cool.

Re: Shrunken apple heads
That is the creepiest thing... But I'll admit, I do kind of want to try it out!
I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself.
