Suggested correction: It's a prop head resting on a freezer shelf. It could simply be that opening the freezer door causes the head to sway a little, similar to if you had an egg, lemon, or something else that didn't have a flat bottom resting on a shelf inside a fridge.

No, the way it was filmed was with the actual actress putting her head up through a hole in shelf. It's her head moving.
