For the price this is great item. Its loud and scary with a range of noises/words. It makes a crawling motion but doesn't actually crawl. It will be a great addition to our "zombie" garden on halloween. The only down side is the voice activation. At first we thought it didn't work at all except when you switched it off and on. But after a while we worked out its activated by clapping. Wish the description had made it clear. As it is think this won't be a problem for us. But would have preferred something that was motion activated. We will be greeting trick or treaters with clapping!
