Viral Ghost

The spider on everybody else's porch is a rubber one somebody dropped on the doormat. It has never moved in its life.

This one gets up. It has a sound sensor and a motion sensor built in, so a clap, a footstep or somebody walking past the doorway is enough — it starts crawling forward on eight furry legs with its eyes lit red. There is no remote to fumble for and nobody has to trigger it. You put it down, you walk away, and it handles the rest.

It's 23.6 inches across the legs and 7.9 inches tall. That's the width of a doormat, not a desk toy. Spirit-Halloween-style animatronic spiders that size sit at $80–$150 in the shops every October. And it doesn't ship in a box that size — the legs are wire inside the fur, so they fold flat against the body and it arrives small and stores small for next year.

Then they see the face. Where a spider's body should be, there's a cracked porcelain doll head — hairline splits across the forehead and cheeks, painted lashes, thin closed lips, and two red LEDs burning where the eyes are. People clock the spider first and the face about a second later. That second is the whole product.

Keep it dry and keep it on a hard floor. It's fur and plastic over a small motor, so it belongs indoors or under a covered porch — hallways, entryways, stairs, next to the candy bowl. It crawls best on hardwood, tile, laminate or porch boards; deep carpet and wet grass are not its ground. It runs on 3 AA batteries, so there's no cord trailing across a walkway and nothing to plug in — the batteries aren't included in the box.

Ordering for Halloween itself? Order early in October — once we're inside the last two weeks we can't promise it lands before the 31st.

No remote, and you don't have to set it off yourself. It has two built-in triggers: a sound sensor and a motion sensor. A clap, a doorbell, a kid's voice or somebody simply walking past is enough — it starts walking and the eyes light up.

That's the reason it works on a porch or in a hallway. It reacts to the person who's arriving, not to you standing behind it with a button.

23.6 inches across the legs, 7.9 inches tall — the body and doll head alone are about 7.9 x 5.9 x 7.9 inches. Standing on the floor it comes up past your ankle and covers most of a doormat.

It is deliberately light. The legs are wire inside soft fur, so it's easy to carry, easy to reposition and easy to hide — and they fold flat against the body, so the whole thing packs down small when October is over.

3 AA batteries. They are not included in the box, so grab a pack when you order — it needs them to walk and to light the eyes.

There is no cord, no plug and no app. Drop the batteries in, put it where you want it, and leave it alone — the sound and motion sensors do the rest.

Indoors or under a covered porch only. It's fur, plastic and a small motor — it is not weatherproof and it should never sit out in rain or wet grass.

It also needs a firm flat surface to walk on: hardwood, tile, laminate, concrete or porch boards. On deep carpet or a lawn the legs don't get the grip they need. Hallways, entryways, the bottom of the stairs, a landing or the table beside the candy bowl are where it does its best work.
