Was very excited for this product. Had it delivered because I don't have a vehicle big enough. After potting it together which was fairly easy the motor that moves the ghost lasted about 2 minutes before something broke and it stopped working. Now I have to figure out how to return it.

Bought this product as soon as it came on the market and didn't assemble until October which was my mistake. The motor stopped working after a day and appeared to be damaged as it was bent but this would not have impacted the motor. We removed the pin so it would stop making the horrid cranking noise. Its a beautiful and unique piece but unfortunately its made extremely poorly on the mechanical side, especially for the price. I tried to post my review several times a couple weeks ago but it would not allow it.. hmm..

Set this up last night and the motor to turn the ghost is squealing and not moving the prop. Sadly this has been sold out for a minute but we didn't want to put such a large prop and have it outside in the rain. Contacted SVI but still haven't heard anything back.

i love how it looks however , after a day or two , it starts making a very loud noise. the motor is stripping and its not going to last. i bought one and returned and exchanged it thinking it was a fluke. but now the second one is doing the same thing. very disappointed. im going to return it and hope to get my money back. i got videos. just horrible.

There are those of us who go all out, decorating for Christmas and in this case Halloween. We do it because we love it - even when we see questionable reviews... This isn't my first animatronic from Sams - but it may very well be my last. I knew I was in trouble when the holes on the bottom of the tombstone weren't large enough to accommodate the wing nuts... Other parts didn't line up well either... And it was no simple task putting this thing together. Once up - I plugged it in... And the voice box worked great... BUT - there is an awful, LOUD "thud" coming from the back, under the metal casing - where the mechanism moves the ghost from side to side. It's so loud that it's distracting. It happens EVERY time the ghost moves, and even as it goes back to its original position. There's no doubt in my mind it won't make it to Halloween - and I'd take it back - but it's too freaking big - and I honestly dread taking it down. I'm entirely disappointed.

This was a great addition to our Halloween props. We ordered it online as soon as we saw it and we put it up the end of September. However, here it is October 5th and it's already broken. The motor for the ghost broke and the ghost just goes all around the tombstone freely. It is out of stock as well. I'm frustrated and disappointed. This is advertised as an indoor/outdoor product, why is it made so cheaply? I'm not sure what we are going to do at this point, maybe try to rig it as a stationary figure until after Halloween and then return it to the store.

Stopped working not worth the price

Motor arm broke while putting it together. And no response from sams.

It's such a cool decoration but the quality isn't great. We've had it up for 2 weeks and the motor is already shot, it doesn't work anymore and the sound is gone. Now the pain of taking it apart and returning it. Very disappointed.

Unfortunately the ghost stopped moving. It seems like the gears were getting stuck. Then the welded part just snapped. Very disappointing, lasted only 2 weeks.
