Rather than just adding different recordings, I’d try to repurpose it as a Mad Eye Moody eyepiece.
But if they only ring the fake doorbell, how will I know that they’re at my door wanting candy?
Maybe it will scare off the younger kids, so it won’t be an issue for them.
That is surprisingly impressive for mass-produced Halloween junk. An opening and swiveling eye, plus multiple audio responses? I can understand the obsession - man, Halloween props have gotten really sophisticated in recent years. A teardown would be interesting to see, too.
They have them at Target for $10 - essentially the exact same thing in aged metal. Almost bought one, but then I thought about not having it sitting around the house. I know, party pooper.
Got mine at canadian tire its completely ridiculous but i couldn’t resist!
I was always pissed off as a kid in Australia with not celebrating halloween, it looks like so much damn fun.
I get pissed off as a adult now with the whole “but it’s not Australian!” crap when kids do.
Same. I encourage kids to do it.
Good on ya!
I’d be well into it if… well, ya know. But if I knew anyone with kids, I’d be building all sorts of weird and cool and spooky stuff for them.
Cheering people on from the internet is the next best thing.
If we lived close you’d totally be able to come and hang out and dress up and give kids lollies. I often throw a Hallowhedon party.
Good theme. Great theme.
If I could make it, I’d be there in a Bad Horse costume.
