Anybody have this , or seen this in person ?
Life-size Animated Crawling Man / Zombie

Was wondering a few things and I can not find out anywhere , if ...

1) does this stop automatically /
2) if not , does it stop when it runs out of cord and pulls the electric cord out of the wall ?
3) is it sensor activated ?
4)do you have to flip a switch to get it going ?

the short little vid and written description is not much to go on

I almost got 1 last year,they also have a women.the drive under it is 2 small wheels,it doesnt go backwards, or reverse so you have to move it back when it gets to the end of its cord.the other problem is you need a flat smooth surface for it to move.I wasnt very happy with the sheer looks of it either.very cheap,and not scarry(maybe to a 4 yearold)

Thanks...
the cheap look is kinda what I thought too , of that mask they put on it . And thank you very much for the info ... VERY helpful .
so , it sounds to me ... that for $100.00 , you'd be better off making one yourself , and saving a few bucks whilst your at it , huh ?
Again ,m many thanks . ( now I understand why that video is so vague . )

100 bucks?...thats a bit high.i got a ground breaker that has red led eyes,sound and the arms move,for 40.its cheap plastic.Ii mounted it on a garage door opener and keep it in a dim corner w/lots of smoke.It does the job.

I have one and love it. The movement is pretty cool. I think the parts might be almost $100 if you made it yourself.

It is sound activated. It does go forward and then back with a decent length cord.

It does have a little mind of it's own, but I had no issues.

Placement of this one I think is important (just like everything else on Halloween). In bright light, this will not be as scary as dim light in a place where someone would not expect it to crawl out.

I didnt think they reversed,how is it in grass?

**larry** · 01-17-2010,08:10 PM

I do not think that it would work in the grass. It pretty much needs a flat surface. It goes back an forth on wheels. It would not be hard to make it look like it was in the grass, but it would have to actually be on something flat.

I used the girl at our haunt last year, boy wa she insane! She got amzing reviews by almost everyone but she was hard work for us! She went off when there was the smallest noises, and we had to pull her back very, very often!!! From the TOTs perspective she was amazing we got so manygreat comments about her and one person didn't go in the room because he thought that she was a real person. All in all, I wouldn't spent $100 for her, unless you made money off your haunt.
Hope this helps,

The guy and girl were great sellers for us last year. The cool thing about this unit is I had 0- yes 0, returned as defective. They do go back and forth and the growling noise the girl makes sounds like the girl from that movie The Grudge. It will work on grass- but without a little help.. heres how.. you do have to lay down a sheet of plywood. You can paint it black or green- (at night you will tell the difference). For it to roll on. The eyes on both units light up as well and the heads moves side to side. For a $100.00 it is well worth the money. They do like to wonder- but the effects outweigh having to move them around sometimes.

Hope this helps.

The man worked great for us when my 2.5 yr old son finally let me take him out from under his bed. We used it outside hidden behind a pine tree on some wood. We had it run into the cemetary fence along the driveway to prevent it from wandering too much. The overall effect of his arms and head turning with the moaning and light up eyes made it look like he was really trying hard to get people before he returned under the tree.
Before Hallowe'en it chased the cleaners vacuum from under the bed. The cleaners didn't enjoy it as much as the TOT's.
