Title: Guardian of the Grave Date: September 18, 2009
"I have expensive props that dont look as good as this one. The price is great and it sets up in minutes. It spooked the dogs out every time it rose. He doesnt seem too sturdy as he kinda wobbles as he rises but I will make some sort of base to stabilize him if need be. All in all this was a good choice."

Title: He Looks Good! Date: September 9, 2009
"It took me about 10 minutes to set up and I'm not good at these kind of things, so it may take you less time. The only problem I have is that I can't get it to activate to sound. He runs every two minutes - yes, the directions say 2 minutes - unless he's set off by sound. Well, no amount of sound has set him off and I tried clapping, yelling, and pan banging. The directions are pretty weak (little better than IKEA). I'm sure he works with sound activation, but I haven't figured it out yet.
Bottom line: he looks great. Buycostumes.com was the best price for this item. Another popular site wanted an extra $20

Title: Nice effect but has drawbacks Date: October 8, 2008
"I used this for an outdoor cemetary. Looks really cool. But no matter how many adjustments I tried to make the figure kept turning and would not just stand straight up. Also the base of the figure should have something to anchor it down into grass so it is more stable"

Title: The Guardian Date: September 15, 2008
"What a great prop! I had this together in under 5 minutes.

On opening the box, the first thing you notice is how good the face looks. No fake looking shiny plastic here...unlke some others that I have purchased in the past. The face has a really good ghoul quality.
Once you get it assembled and plug it in, you quickly realize how well it's built...sturdy and solid.
It rises up, eyes blinking with good sound effects. Go buy a 400 watt fog machine and watch the fog ooze out of its mouth.

Let's just say this..... it's about time someone took a great idea and engineered a product that is actually worthy of my graveyard. Kudos to the creator and the company that listened to him.Simply brilliant!

Title: Can't wait to use this Date: September 4, 2008
"Just got this in the mail. Setup is really easy and it works well. (will amend my review if I find being out in the cold at night it doesn't work as well). The gravestone is made out of foam, which is the only complaint I have - which isn't really a complaint considering the price of the prop. I also like that I don't have to plug it in, so I can place it anywhere in my yard and not worry about kids tripping over a cord."
