Further dissection of the pooh bear, using a DC motor to imitate the girl from the Exorcist. (Pooh's head spins around while still attached to his body)

Nice work, and suitably spooky... It's a good starting point for the Halloween Party this week! Now that you have a Pooh bear with a spinning head, I'm curious about what you're going to do with it. What type of interaction is it part of? E.g. is it designed to scare people? To be part of some larger process? Etc...?
