This would have been great but the dome doesn't turn! Too bad! Would have been great on the porch on Halloween!

 
Cute Halloween Novelty
By LuluVerified Purchaser from Weymouth, MA on 10/17/2007
Pros:
Cute Concept
Cons:
Low Quality
Best Uses:
On a small porch or room
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Spooky Shadows" Light:

I am going to use this on my front porch on Halloween. I think the shapes are great, but only in small and dark spaces. The unit itself is very poor quality, if not handled with care it won't last too long, but cute idea.

I'm not real happy with this item as I cannot open the battery compartment to put the battery in! I have tried everything and it won't budge.

 
Broken After 1st Use
By Mrs. S.Verified Purchaser from TX on 10/15/2007
Cons:
Low Quality
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Spooky Shadows" Light:

The light broke after the 1st use. It is very poorly made and doesn't create shadows 1/2 as nice as shown. Better to spend your money on other products.

 
poor quality
By jeanledVerified Purchaser from boulder, co on 10/8/2007
Cons:
Bad Value, Low Quality
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Spooky Shadows" Light:

Poor connection so that the light works only when the item is held upside down and then carefully placed upright. Plastic dome is more fragile than eggshell.

 
O.K. product
By RosetteVerified Purchaser from Southern California on 10/2/2007
Cons:
Low Quality
Best Uses:
Best use in small room
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Spooky Shadows" Light:

The quality leaves something to be desired. It is best used in small rooms otherwise the images get distorted. The only place this really works in our house is the bathroom with the lights turned off. My toddlers like to take "Halloween" baths now. I can't use it for anything other than that because all the other spaces are too big.

 
Cheap, not too effective...
By KCVerified Reviewer from Utah on 9/7/2007
Pros:
Good idea
Cons:
Ineffective, Low Quality
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Spooky Shadows" Light:

"Durable Plastic" does not describe this. The globe is a light, thin, flimsy plastic that dents very easily. The effect would be much better if it spun slowly, but it does like 20 rpm, which makes it look lame speeding around the room, you can't appreciate the shadows. You CAN'T use this in a large room, the shapes blur together if they aren't cast on a surface close to the machine. The only way I got it to work was to put it in a small bathroom. It just doesn't work for what it claims to do and isn't worth it. It is a nice idea, if poorly executed. I would like to see a better version of this.

 
OK for the money
By Kim, the Halloween babyVerified Purchaser from Richmond, Texas on 8/26/2007
Pros:
Good Value
Cons:
Shadows are doubled
Best Uses:
Halloween novelty item
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Spooky Shadows" Light:

I found that the double images were because of the shape of the mirror inside the unit. It's parabolic in shape, and leads to double reflections through the frosted plastic dome. I removed the dome, painted the center of the mirrored surface white, and now there's no second set of shadows! Now we'll just have to see if it's bright enough to use in a dark Halloween display, or if I'll have to put a brighter lightbulb in it...
