Halloween Russ Motion Activated Dracula Decoration

I find the 50% Off Card Stores a veritable treasure trove for older Halloween cutout decorations. With the party stores fading away (and their supply of Beistle cutouts with them), I now scour these card stores every October, along with mom and pop drug stores, for interesting pieces to add to my collection.

I found this charming little vampire in a store I always seem to have luck with. He's approximately 8 inches tall and 7 inches wide. His eyes light up and he makes suitably irritating Halloween sounds. The colors are superb and he looks sinister in that not-so-scary way which is half-way between too cute and too serious. He's also motion activated to delight trick or treaters.

The box he comes in is another matter. Pink? The graphic design is also not very eye-catching for the true Halloween aficionado. My assumption is Russ had their birthday party designers do this one. I would have designed a coffin box with a cellophane window showing his handsome, toothy grin.

I won't say a word ;)

I'll remember not to show this to my mom and step-dad. They are the type that likes annoying little things that light up and making noises. They would play it all day long.

Nice, I like him, too!

Now that's scary. I like my Christmas Trees green, brightly adorned, and quietly standing in the corner.

Oh man. I hate these kinds of things. I remember having the bejesus scared out of me one year by a motion-activated singing Christmas tree. I could've thrown the geezly thing out the window.
