If I had kids, I’d buy this Animated Crawling Girl prop in an instant, and stick it under their bed just before bedtime. Which is one reason I probably don’t have kids.
Spirit Halloween currently has this available online for $99 – not exactly a budget purpose, but take a peek at the video to see it in action and you’ll see why even I’m tempted to snag one for Halloween. Read more
