Harold has wanted to be a ventriloquist since he was seven years old. At the age of thirty he has finally mustered the courage to attain his goals and hone his skills. In doing so, he makes his own ventriloquist dummy that resembles his personal hero, Bela Lugosi. Harold plans his first act in front of all of his family and friends. He enters the stage and sits on a tall stool and place the ventriloquist doll on his lap. Then, he places his index finger through the ring behind the doll’s head. He pulls towards himself to make the doll’s lips open up that resembles how a person speaks. He occasionally pulls the top thread back to move just the top lip or he pulls the lower string in order to move the lower lip down. Harold’s signature finale is when his loud-mouthed vampire friend with a Transylvanian accent goes wild and attacks Harold in the neck. Harold achieves this by pulling the strings backwards to show the vampire’s fangs as the doll lunges at Harold’s pulsating neck. The audience is aghast and certainly entertained.
