I almost titled this 'Halloween Props', but this could apply to other holidays, too.

I think my biggest frustration with these things, is that the battery compartments are always secured with these tiny screws that won't come out half the time. I have a couple of older props where the the lids just slide shut rather than screw on, and it's so simple and easy. I just don't understand why the makers insist on these frustrating screw-ons.

Designed by a bunch of screw-balls, no doubt.

Anyone else share this frustration? Or do you have other peeves with the props?

if you can't change the battery than maybe you'll buy another product to replace it with .... it's all about profit buying more.
