Vintage Halloween Gemmy Shrieking Ghost & Shrieking Bat Sound Activated:
$49.99

For sale are a Shrieking Ghost and Shrieking Bat made by GEMMY. These are from the late1980\'s/early 1990\'s. Inside one of the boxes was a receipt showing they were purchased together on 9/13/1992 for $16.00. They are sound activated and in testing I stood around 10 feet away and clapped my hands and they started shrieking and shaking. The ghost has worked fine every time. The ghost also lights up.
The shrieking bat is working but is a bit inconsistent at times. Sometimes when he is first turned on he will go through his Shrieking and Shaking cycle several times before stopping, then he stops and is sound activated. When I sat him on a table he seemed to continuously activate himself as he was bouncing on the table and would not stop. When he hung in the air he would stop until activated again. And a few times he started to shriek and shake and sounded a little off and needed a tap on the bottom to get him to adjust. Possibly his wiring inside is getting a little temperamental after 30+ years. These GEMMY toys are awesome and hold up over the years and even without the shrieking and shaking he is still a cool prop. The bat\'s wings have wires inside so he can be posed and the wings will flap a bit when is activated.The spider is being sold with the knowledge that while he is working he may eventually need some work. If you are so inclined you might open him up and try to adjust if he is not working to your satisfaction. But he does work in his current state, he shrieks and shakes when activated by sound. Please don\'t buy this and then be shocked that a sound activated toy from the early 1990\'s is inconsistent in its operation.
Both of the original boxes and the receipt from 1992 are included.
