Thread: Need some help with a Halloween Prop

Tweet

Hi! I recently purchased this Gemmy animated skeleton at a Halloween sale. When it speaks a phrase, the eyes light up but go off when the phrase is over. I was wondering, is there a way to hack it and keep the eyes on continuously? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Here's a video of it.

I've got that same Reaching Reaper prop and he NEVER seems to want to trigger out in the yard. LOL
Anyway, you can probably open up his head and find the wires to the red LEDS. Cut the wires and solder together a circuit and use either two "AA" batreries for power or a 9-volt battery with a 330 ohm resistor incorporated into the circuit.
That would be my guess.

Thanks for your help! I will try that.
