This fountain is actually made somewhat better than most of the Halloween junk out there, which looks great online but disappoints in person. It is made of a thick plastic, and looks pretty much like it does online. Set-up was easy...you just toss in two AA batteries, fill up the water reservoir, and flip the switch.
Obviously, in order to give the illusion of blood (or slime) coming from the skull's eyes, you need to add food coloring to the water. The instructions say to add a few drops, but you need to add quite a bit more than a few drops, otherwise the water looks pink and translucent. Not an issue for me, just an FYI.
I deducted one star because of the "sound activation" feature doesn't work. The fountain will run on its own for a few minutes after you turn it on, and then it automatically shuts off. After that, according to the box, "The pump will turn on as sound activates it and run for approximately three minutes". After the pump turned off after its initial run, I stood a few feet away and talked loudly. Nothing happened. I got closer and closer to the thing until I was shouting into its ear, and it still didn't do anything. Finally I pounded the table next to it, and it began to run.
It would also be nice if you could choose to run it continuously, which is what I wanted it to do (just for an hour, during a party), but that isn't an option.
Overall, better than most, but not perfect.Get more detail about Battery operated Bleeding Skull Fountain.
