no., but really:
08/10/02 Jivaro Head Shrinking-An ancient secret exposed The Jivaros of South America believed that an individual's spiritual powers resided in the head. To decapitate an enemy and possess his head was to keep for one's self all the powers of its original owner. The mouth and other orifices of shrunken heads were often sewn shut to keep the soul from escaping. This shrunken head has been on display at the Niagara Falls Odditorium since 1963.

 The practice of shrinking heads was once common amongst the Jivaro Indians of Ecuador. It was a ritual that had been handed down through generations. The heads of slain warriors were valued as trophies or symbols of bravery. When a fighter killed his enemy, the victim's head was removed. The skin was then peeled away from the skull and hot stones and sand were poured into the cavity. The head was sewn shut and boiled in herbs until it had shrunk to the size of a fist. Ceremonial dances, feasts and songs accompanied the ritual!.

Where my girlfriend used to live they used to have a shrunken head on display in a museum there. Weird thing is it's hair kept on growing. Had been growing for years and years. They took it down because it was scaring all the kids apparently.

My dad used to scare me with a shrunken head he got from some god-forsaken island when I was... 4-5?
They aren't so creepy now but when I was little they sure were.
