I'd like to use my 20% discount to get something animated for my graveyard. All I have now is fence and static tomb stones.
I have seen mixed reviews about Spirit's stuff here but was wondering if anyone had this and if it was decent. I don't have time to build a decent one this year.

Also can you run it without the fog machine?

I bought one last year and tested it right out of the box fine. Set it up on 31OCT and after 10 min it died. There tech support is awful and they don't want to help you. Tekky toys is garbage stuff. There is another thread on this if you search with more comments. This is my personal take.

It was not working properly in the Spirit store. Perhaps they didn't put it together the right way. It's a cool idea though, but I'd pass due to the price.

This is the best price I've found-

I've bought from them before with no problems.
You can run the prop with no fog too. There is another one along the same lines. It has no fog, but the mouth moves when it speaks-

Look around, it's out of stock on line at the moment.
Some other good ones-

This one is at most halloween stores this year and is cheaper. It has worked perfectly for me over extended periods of time. Also works without fog-

These props can be better made, no denying that. But not every one is a lemon. Good luck getting yourself a good one.

I LOVE this guy!! Bought it last year and it worked for 2 days with no issues, took it out last week and it is still in working condition, no issues on this one for me! I say get it as you will LOVE IT! I think some store the props wrong or in the heat etc and they will crap out. Take care of your prop pack away safely and it will work great!
