Clear off a radiator – a lovingly crafted model of the infamous alien tot can now be yours to own.

The mutant baby seen in David Lynch’s 1977 cult classic Eraserhead is now available to purchase through eBay through a select couple of sellers. Fans of Eraserhead will be quick to notice and wince at how real the baby looks. The genius creator Michael Perry has released several versions of the baby, if you want to splash the cash in favour of an even more horrifying version. This eerie creation is even glossed with a silicone wash to make the baby have a natural shine, just in case you were wondering. However, if the baby is not in your price range, or understandably, not to your taste – then don’t worry. There are several Lynch related goods which are for sale, such as The Secret History of Twin Peaks or a gorgeous Mulholland Drive poster available on Etsy.
