An excellent spider light. It casts a red glow and dangerously twitches. And just look at this ad copy!
This spiders eight illuminated legs span 36″ in diameter, four of which move slowly to create the simulacrum of careful, calculated movement as if stalking prey. The spiders thorax and abdomen conceal a stealthily quiet electric motor that drives a system of levers attached to the two front and two rear legs, creating a semblance of life as the legs twitch back and forth while the abdomen slowly rises and falls. Each leg is decorated with a string of incandescent purple lights rated for 1,000 hours of use; the spiders pedipalps have green lights.
Now that’s copy you can be proud of. $69.95, which probably precludes me from buying 10 and tossing them into the bed of my toddling niece in the middle of the night, but surely the effect won’t entirely be diminished with just one.
The 36 Inch Twitching Lighted Spider. [Hammacher]
The image seems to be blank. Assuming that is not just a problem with my browser, you might want to rectify that.
The spider does appear to be pretty awesome though.
Hmm…piccy no worky?
No spiders or Visigoths!
The picture is working fine, but this is definitely one of those posts that is almost useless without a video… I want to see it move so I can horrify my fiance by threatening to purchase it…
Hm. August, september, october… Good time of year for considering such things.
I agree, I want to see it in motion… but it sounds like it would be good company for the talking skull.
Please make some new posts, giant spider at the top of the page starting to freak me out…
Probably could creep a few peeps out with this one.
