Title: Great Idea, Horrible Execution
Review: I purchased this prop three years ago at a Halloween store in Michigan, after seeing STOCK images of it online at various shops. Being a huge fan of "Psycho," I thought it was absolutely ingenious; and it is, until you plug it in and see that the manufacturing design of the prop leaves it almost *impossible* to read through a window in the dark. It literally looked like blue bulbs and a red blur in a sea of black plastic.Now, hanging inside on a wall, the prop is slightly more legible and somewhat usable--but who wants it inside instead of in a window, like a REAL vacancy sign? I opened mine up and tried to adjust the bulbs, even placing foil behind them to help with the reflection; it made it barely legible in a window at night.Ultimately, this could have been one of the BEST Halloween props I've ever seen, but the shoddy design makes it worth about $5 instead of the $25+ you usually see it priced at. A shame, really.
