Who knew that the mild-mannered cuckoo clock could evolve into such a gruesome object? Fans of the Stanley Kubrick film The Shining will adore this takeoff on the innocent pop-out clock, where every hour Jack Nicholson's crazed face pops through the door, yelling "Here's Johnny!" as Shelley Duvall screams in terror. Cuckoo clock, indeed.
This prototype by designer Chris Dimino isn't available yet to the general public, but if there are enough fans of The Shining and the horror genre in general, it might someday see the light of day. Even though it's a great idea, we're thinking all the yelling and screaming every hour on the hour could get pretty old after about a day. But then maybe we're turning into dull boys because of that "all work and no play" thing. – Charlie White

译文:
骇人的布谷鸟时钟
谁能想到布谷钟也能演变成骇人的东西？喜欢Stanley Kubrick电影The Shining的人们一定会想到这经常出现的时钟，每过一个小时Jack Nicholson就会从钟的门里探出头来，并叫到“Here's Johnny!”确实就像是Duval在布谷钟中的恐怖叫声。l
这个原型是由Chris Dimino设计的，至今还没有在市面上出现，但是如果有足够的爱好者喜欢这个华丽并恐怖的设计，总有一天它一定会在市面上出现的。即使，这是一个伟大的构想，但是如果一整天都是这种恐怖的声音，听久了也会觉得烦的。到时候，再听到的话也已经没感觉了，因为只工作不玩耍,聪明杰克也变傻。
