Generally, I find ventriloquists to be extraordinarily creepy. However, this homemade Wheately puppet from Portal 2 has been infused with audio equipment so he can speak for himself—10 quotes in all.
See the puppet in action after the break.

Who would have thought that a Pinocchio puppet could be this terrifying? Guillermo Del Toro is involved? Oh, that makes sense now.
What you are witnessing is a sneak peek at the star of the upcoming stop motion Pinocchio film directed by Gris Grimly and Mark Gustafson and produced by The Jim Henson Company and Guillermo Del Toro.
The puppet won’t appear in the film, it’s actually a maquette used to woo distributors, but if this dark version of the classic tale takes off, you know this puppet has some great merchandising potential.
Check out an image of the actual character models after the break.
The H.E. Fartsalot Butt Puppet performs “Old MacDonald,” “Frere Jacques,” or “London Bridge,” when you cram your hand into his torso cavity. It is truly the “ultimate wind instrument.”

Zombie Zack is described as “the cutest little zombie baby you have ever seen,” and with a face like that, who could argue? Zack’s head and mouth are fully controllable via an opening in the back of his neck, so you have everything you need to start the creepiest ventriloquist act in town.
