Animated Moving Books Halloween Prop Look Like Real Books, Motion Activated Books Move In and Out and Make Eerie Sounds

I love Halloween. It s the one season of the year where freaks feel
normal and people can find yet another excuse to decorate their homes
with piles of useless novelty crap like plastic skeletons and witches
that look like they ve smashed into a tree. Every now and then I happen
across a Halloween gadget that doesn t look like a pile of
Chinese-manufactured throwaway trash and the animated moving books from
BuyCostumes.com certainly fit the bill.

So what are Animated Moving Books, anyway? Well, they re exactly what
they say they are. They are a set of four books that you stick into your
bookshelf among the less creepy volumes and when someone walks by them a
motion-activated sensor kicks them into action. According to the
website, the books slide in and out and make eerie sounds. Sounds a bit
like my love life, but I digress. While they do look a tad on the fake
side up close, I bet the illusion is more convincing from afar.
The Animated Moving Books require four AA batteries (not included) and
will run you a mere $24.95 at www.buycostumes.com. Isn t that a small
price to pay to ensure that your children will never read another book
in their lives? I thought so.
