I have never heard of "vocal fry" either, but then the article mentioned "creaky voice."
See Ladefoged, "A Course in Phonetics" pg. 128 for a photo of the vocal folds producing creaky voice (also called "laryngealization") together a description of its mechanism of articulation (pg 129). Very interesting.
