controlling the ghost

i have been trying to figure out how to actually have a little bit of control of the ghost and how to make it turn it's head and appear to have a somewhat 3d element to it... i could spend some more time on cleaning this one up - but once again, i'm just trying to figure out the nuts and bolts before i waste time polishing up lame stuff... like the other ghost - this too is just a 2d photograph that i pulled up on a google image (i know these are a crappy quality video - but it looks so clean wide screen)
