Mum's The Word

Halloween is known to cause a whole host of new fears. Suddenly things you used to think were cute — like black cats — take on an ominous tone, and the world becomes an unknown house of horrors around every turn. Take the ground, for instance. How often do you really think about what's under your feet while you walk across your lawn or through your neighborhood? 

But then you see this Life-Size Animated Groundbreaker Mummy coming out of your yard and suddenly, your sense of safety needs to be rethought. What else is hiding just below the surface of your garden? What else is coming out at night to haunt your house and scare your Halloween guests? Well, that's the fun of Halloween! You just never know. Your partygoers will be pleased with just how creepy a scene you've set with this dreadful decoration. What's the secret to its scare tactics? That's for you to know. Shhhh. 

Design & Details

Made by Us in our exclusive studio, this animated decoration will scare the living daylights out of everyone it encounters...even you! It appears as the top half of a decrepit mummy, emerging from beneath the soil, but still chained down (thank goodness!)...for the time being. Once activated, it creates a horrifying show of lights and sound that will spook trick-or-treaters as they approach the house.

Questions & Answers

Q: I bought this last year and did not realize it needed a step pad to work. It does not activate with sound. The only way we get it to work is to turn it off and back on manually. Very disappointing. Do you sell the step pad? Thank you. (1 Answer)
Asked by Patrice | September 27, 2026
Monster Responds...
The mummy does have a step pad setting, and we're sorry to hear it hasn't been working the way you hoped. Unfortunately, we don't sell the step pad separately. The sound activation setting may be worth trying again with fresh batteries, since the figure requires 3 AA batteries and low power can affect the sensor's sensitivity.

Q: Is there a steady on option? Or only sound activation? (1 Answer)
Asked by Cheryl G | September 1, 2026
Monster Responds...
The switch has two active settings: sound activation and a step pad mode, with no steady-on option. The center position on the switch activates the step pad, the ON setting triggers sound activation, and OFF disables both.

Q: How is activated, by sound, movement or touch/pad? (1 Answer)
Asked by Ryan | July 21, 2026
Monster Responds...
This mummy has two activation options. The ON setting is sound activated, and the center position activates a step pad, so you can choose whichever works best for your setup.

Q: Is he for outdoor use? Does he come with ground stakes for outdoor use? (1 Answer)
Asked by Anonymous | September 3, 2024
Monster Responds...
Hello, we recommend that you keep this mummy prop out of the rain and he does not come with ground stakes.

Q: Can the sound be turned off during the action? (1 Answer)
Asked by wangchaoxe | August 23, 2024
Monster Responds...
Yes, the OFF setting disables both the motion and sound completely. The middle position activates the step pad, and the ON setting is sound activated, triggering the eyes, head movement, arm movement, and moaning all at once.

Q: Is this battery operated? (1 Answer)
Asked by Chris | August 13, 2024
Monster Responds...
Yes, this mummy runs on 3 AA batteries, which aren't included. Once powered up, you can set it to sound-activated mode or use the step pad to trigger the light-up eyes, moving head, moving arms, and moaning sounds.

Q: Can this be used outside? And if it rains, is that OK? (1 Answer)
Asked by TJ | August 8, 2024
Monster Responds...
This mummy is designed as an indoor decoration, and rain would be a real concern since it runs on batteries and has electronic components that light up, move, and make sound. Keeping it dry and sheltered will protect both the electronics and the cheesecloth fabric draped over the frame.
(AI Generated Answer)

Q: how wide is it?, and can it be out in the weather?. (1 Answer)
Asked by Greg | July 29, 2024
Monster Responds...
The arm span reaches up to 42 inches wide, depending on how you pose the foam-covered wire arms. As for outdoor use, the materials include molded plastic, cheesecloth fabric, and foam, so this one is best kept in a covered or sheltered spot rather than left out in rain or direct weather.
(AI Generated Answer)

Q: Can this be left outside we live in the northeast and the weather isn't warm or dry during October (1 Answer)
Asked by Nancy | June 29, 2024
Monster Responds...
This mummy is designed for indoor use. The molded plastic head and frame are paired with tattered cheesecloth fabric and foam-covered wire arms, and none of those materials are built to handle rain, cold, or prolonged moisture. The battery compartment is also not weatherproofed, so northeast October conditions would put both the electronics and the fabric at real risk.

Q: Is this motion or sound activation?
Thank you (1 Answer)
Asked by Chris | December 7, 2023
Monster Responds...
Hello! This mummy is activated by an on/off switch or the included step pad.

Customers Say
Customers are overwhelmingly pleased with this animated mummy groundbreaker prop, praising its creepy sound effects, realistic chain rattling, and arm-waving motion as great additions to Halloween graveyards and haunts. The main criticism is that it runs smaller than expected for a "life-sized" prop, and some found the instructions unclear, particularly regarding its sound-activated feature.

    Love it, but
    By al kulhawik  | August 1, 2025
    I love this guy but only wish it came with better instructions. Parts made in China. On and off switch ok but didn't realize it was sound activated after the initial turn on. Would be nice if it was motion activated.

    Life sized is a relative term. It's child sized. BUT- He will be perfectly creepy in my haunt! He waves his arms and his soundtrack rattles chains and yearns for brains. Sound activated and came with a step pad. Shipping was fast, My first purchase with this company, I look forward to more!
    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
