Designed to surprise and entertain trick or treaters and party guests alike. Perfect for Halloween parties, haunted houses, porches, doorways, gardens, windows, hallways and indoor displays, this hanging spider decoration is guaranteed to add a frightening finishing touch to your seasonal décor. Activated by sound, the spider springs into action when it hears a clap or loud noise. Simply hang the spider using the attached hanging loop, switch it to the on position, then clap your hands or make a loud noise to trigger the animation. As it activates, the spider plunges downwards with a jerk then pulls itself back up again, creating a startling effect that is sure to catch everyone off guard. Its glowing red LED eyes add an extra eerie glow, making it even more effective in darker settings. Crafted from plastic and finished with some faux fur, the animatronic spider has a creepy appearance that makes it ideal for both traditional and modern Halloween displays. Measuring approximately 23cm in length and 4cm in width, with a total hanging height of 61cm, it is the perfect size for suspending from ceilings, door frames, trees, porches, or party venues where it can surprise unsuspecting visitors. Battery operated for convenient placement, the spider requires 2 x AA batteries, allowing you to position it almost anywhere around your home or garden. Easy to install and simple to operate, this animated dangling spider is a fun and frightening Halloween decoration that will become a favourite part of your spooky seasonal display year after year. Suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor use.
