Thanks for doing reviews on things people can't really find anyone reviewing on TH-cam
Thanks Cat, I do try to keep up with what's new on the scene. It can be expensive, though!
We love ours❤️ My neice is developmentally disabled and she and I managed to put it up in the spare bedroom. She turns it on every night by herself. We got it at a discount store really cheap and we didn’t even know it had sounds🤔‼️( just as well)❗️
I bought this a few years ago on clearance after Christmas, i have yet to use it. Thank you for the review, i am going to attempt it this year!
Super helpful!!! Best review of this product!!! You did a FULL review, I'm totally subscribing to your channel!!! Keep does videos coming!!!!
Hey Jesicca I'm glad you like my channel! Hope to hear from you again.
Freakin' Reviews You're welcome 👍
Thank God for this video because I was so perplexed how to get this to work. The tripod was genius! Mine didn't come with instructions so I was so lost. Thank yoi!
Great review, you could use stick on velcro to attach/detach the screen. Also you can also use a simple translucent shower curtain. I have a wireless speaker system that I'm planning on using. For the price it's a pretty simple effect for Halloween or Christmas.
When I projected it through our window it was very blurry. So Last Christmas I built out of PVC a stand with the screen on it for outside and projected it through the back of the screen not through a window and it worked amazing. Super clear scenes
This was a great help, thank you. This isn't quite what I thought lit was so I avoided making a bad purchase.
I like your reviews! Please at the beginning include the price of each and where you purchased the items. Great work!
Could you use a ultra thin shower liner for the screen for the second, third and fourth year?
Another very well done review. It actually looked better than I thought it would, but needs some improvements for the price. I've looked at the Window FX Halloween Projector which is more expensive, but looks like a much better product. Thanks again, John
They have them at Menards for $10 I was thinking about buying one, but not now. The problem is, as stated in your video, you have to have the projector on the other side of the room and you lose a lot of the already weak light of the projector. I think spending a little more money and getting something better is what I will do. Thanks for the review.
When you were outside you mentioned it being a bit dim....however you some outdoor flood lights turned on, would it have been brighter if the floods were off?
Hey Dave, I turned my porch lights off around 6:30. The remaining light is from a street light. I have a pretty good comparison of how dim it is compared to three others in this video: th-cam.com/video/WckdRlurdy4/w-d-xo.html
Great review, thank you!
Thank You for this video. You saved me time and money!
i saw it at bed bath and beyond today looked good but wanted to see a sample of it so i found your video, good idea but i agree with you could be brighter
Thanks for the review.
Try putting wax paper over the 4 corners of the stickers. It should stay relatively well.
Nice video, thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for reviewing it!! I just saw the commercial about 10 minutes ago. I wanted to get it for my grandma for her yearly Nativity " show" she puts outside her house in Mexico for the towns people's enjoyment, she's famous for it btw lol. I am concerned about the darkness of the film itself and the fact that you had to expand so far in order for the show to fit your window, mmm I don't know if I like that. Also you had trouble with the plastic screen ugh NIX!!! Darn! I really liked it for her, she would've been soo excited! #dissapointedgrandaughterrighthere
Anyway, thanks.
Hello my name is Janet and I have a question for the star shower window wonderland..the movies clip change by itseld??? Or we have ton press the bottoms for every clip????
Thank u soo much ❤❤❤
Saw this at Menards this year for $10.00 I think for the $10.00 the little hassles you had would be worth the $. Thanks for the review.
Love this work very good👍😎
Can you alter the projector to be a regular projector? Download additional videos?
Firs time visiting your channel. Great review..... overall , do you still recommend this?
Not sure how well it would stick but maybe cutting sqaures out of parchment or wax paper may help the stickers. You can find both usually near the rolls of foil in the grocery store. Or for that matter maybe a piece of foil would work.
I may give that a shot, thanks!
Is there an option where you can pick any side side show that you want to just stick with... Or there is no setting and
keeps rotating?
My first thought is can you make your own scenes.
For audio, I would connect a wireless transmitter (Bluetooth or radio) to the 3.5mm jack there.
What type material is the screen, because have one device but NOT HAVE THE SCREEN, you can help me with this?
I love mine. Better than most other outdoor light displays on the market.
great review will this work on a glass door///???
Can someone help me please, I have this same projector, it just doesn't have the lens and it doesn't focus, what could I put on it to make it work, thank you very much❤
Nice video. I saw this at my home depot and it was for $100. I said to myself before I buy it I'm gonna watch a review first. It does look okay but I'm gonna go with a different holiday projector for bit more money.
Thanks for the review, does each video clip loop or does it go into the next clip automatically?
Looks great!
i suggest you to buy one from spookyillusion.com they have the exact same i think they are the owners of this one actually, their price is also very good! bought mine from them and it works so lovely im 100% ready for halloween, here is the link if u are interested: spookyillusion.com/products/spookyillusion%E2%84%A2-halloween-projector
so it’s still light outside while I’m setting it up but when I look inside the projector it’s upside down. Is it supposed to be like that. Or does it come out the correct way once projected on the window at night?
Please tell me can you project this on to a wall. ok i watch the video to the end and see you can project it to a wall
Nice review
I got one without a screen anyone know anything else I can use maybe a white tablecloth
Better off with the Windows FX projector for the same price. Picture's brighter and the screen is fabric not plastic so it can be reused. I wound up patching a shower curtain and the screen together to fit a 91 inch window. The double sided tape doesn't work for year to year...I used 3 M mounting putty and it held the heavy screen up perfectly.
I bought one at a thift store yesterday for 3.00 but it didn't have a screen after I got it home and read about that. What can I use for a screen?
Mine is not very bright can’t see too well from outside. Your colors much brighter than mine. Was wondering if way to make it brighter. Once lights outside for Christmas are on even lighter.
If i want just santa can it stay with just santa or does it go thru everything
I paid 5$ for it at Walmart xmas clearance last year haha im excited to use it this year;)
Thank you
Use wax paper to cover the sticky pads or maybe cling wrap?
Thank your for this 😊

I was about 5 min away from buying this then saw your video, Glad I did. Not buying this especially because I own a real theater projector that is super bright and a sheet with thumb tacks will work. Projectors are cheap nowadays used on craigslist so I think it's the better of the two.
arnt the bulbs a bit pricy to replace ?
@@weeworld53 8 years now and no problem, plus I have a extra one.
i definitively suggest you to buy from spookyillusion.com they have great ones! x

@@susana.1207 I’m pretty sure that’s the same exact item in the video except under a different name
HI,what material was the screen
Can you set this projector up outside?
They have bluetooth adapters, you could try plugging in and have a speaker setup outside.
Thanks for this

Leave the stick safe tape on til you're doing corner by corner and do one side then the other
This is pretty cool their should be a version 2 where most of the flaws are ironed out
Thanks for the video I'll save my money ... it would be a great idea if the projector was outside
I have a tinted window is that gonna work?
Do you have to have a window? Or can you use it outside
Take axillary cord connect it to your receiver . And to the projector. And run the speaker wire outside the window and set it in your bushes
If it was cheaper and each loop was a lot longer I would maybe get it. I wonder if you used a regular white sheet? As another person said, we also have 6 small square panes on bottom and top of windows so it would not show good at my home ☹️. Great video! Love your videos! Just found you today! Another subscriber! 😺
Hey Denise, thank you for the comment! I think you pretty much summed up my conclusion. Tomorrow I'm posting another new "Star Shower" review, which I think is better than this one.
Just got it for $20 at Walmart...12/8/2017....missing 2 Velcro attachments but I have spare Velcro at home from home Depot...good review...Thanks!
I was able to get mine after Christmas on sale for $15. The store had a whole shelf of them, so the msrp is clearly too high
I live in Mesquite, Nv and wanted this but now I’m not sure at least not for 60.00...thx for the review it helped me save the money...lol
Some searching will get you a high powered projector off Ebay for under $40. another $40 for a Dvd from Atmosfearfx and your home Dvd player and you have a far superior effect than spending $60 on this cheap home solution. Sure it's more expensive but you get what you pay for. If you want a good quality effect you have to pay for it.
Blutack might work better to hold up screen.
And I was thinking,instead of using the tape at all,you could poke a small hole in each corner and use little suction cups with the small hook,that way you just remove it with ease and not have to worrie about any damage.
I wish I had thought of that before using the tape!
Put the camera closer and use one window pane !
No, it would be tiny then. The closer you are the smaller it is..
How long till it gets hacked so you can put an av jack on it?
Does this type of projector play Atmosfx dvds?
I know this comment is very late, but I wonder if putting little pieces of parchment paper on the sticky corners to store it. Wonder if it will preserve the sticky and also be easy to remove to reuse the next year.
Are you able to just play 2 of the Halloween videos? The image I particularly wanted was the ghost girl lunging forward but it isn't on there. The eyeball and pumpkin ones are naff.
Hey xx you should take a look at this scary illusion Halloween projector from spookyillusions wich you can decorate your house with, I have tried it out and it looks so real o my gosh, people walk by and got scared haha! If you are interested here is their store: spookyillusion.com/products/spookyillusion%E2%84%A2-halloween-projector
use Velcro strips from home depot. and if you want sound, you can buy a bluetooth device to send the sound that way.
Is there blue tooth for a speaker or can you add a lead . Great review . Thank you
I just looked at this today at our local roses ($8.99), it says it has an aux port. Would have been better to have speaker connectors as it's a lot easier to buy 100 foot speaker wire than it is an aux cord lol. After watching this review, I passed this up even at $9 because I do not have 12 feet at the window this would work best at.

are those sticky things not velcro? in the video it looked like velcro and you just leave the one side attached to the window all year
You can buy a white plastic table cloth from your local dollar store for a replacement screen just make sure it semi translucent
I think the projector was really bright in daylight. And it would work better without the outside lighting on. But the scenes were cartoony. I imagine you can install your own.
TY for save my money :)
Is this projection unit for indoor use only? I ask because we have a little guy. He would never leave this alone inside. I would also want the sounds outdoors as well. Great review. Thankyou!!

You could Bluetooth the sound to outside speakers or boom box
My Dadought one of these from Wish under a slightly different name (but $40!). Other than the name it's exactly the same.
If you can pick it up for £10 or so - then great, but at the cost my Dad paid it's pretty poor.
As mentioned the camera has to be SUPER far back, so we can only get ours displaying on a small portion.
What peeves me the most is that you can't choose to have it rotate through the movies - you have to manually change them - surely they could have made an option where it cycled through
I solved both of these problems. First for the screen i purchased kids craft magnets with adhesive. Second for the audio i purchased a cheap Bluetooth transmitter / receiver 2 in one for under 10 bucks and use a wireless speaker. Hope this helps!
Great solutions, thanks for the info!
How large is the screen?
I too live in Vegas, and wonder if I want to pay the $50 HSN is offering it for now, for something with a 10 second loop. I mean if it had a nice 30 seconds of 1 minute loop it might be cool. Thank you for the review, it gives me a better idea about it.
They're $10 at Wal-Mart now
So its built in video? Why would Amazon try to sell dvd with it?
thank u so much for this video your house looks reall ynice

Good review. But that is annoying with the window thing coming down. It'd be better if it was able to stay outside and then onto the window should be a little easier to see the white line instead of behind it. Keep up the good work
I'm sure there's a way to do it.
If you only used half of your window would it have been brighter? With the video have looked better?
I love my winter wonderland. I have had mine for 3 years. I never cut the screen so i can use it on any size window. I have used command strips and tape to restick the screen. I hope they come out with other holiday themes, New Year, Valentines, St. Patrick day, Easter 4th July and Thanksgiving.
Way kool!

i found that the lense open all the way gave me the best pic
For $60 it should have long videos of snow, Santa's elves, reindeers, swamp creatures, ghosts, and Frankenstein's monster. You covered the whole product in your review and this video is very fun to watch. Thank you.
Hey Don, and thanks for the comment. I was a little surprised how short the video loops were.
Sounds like you need to be creating these things instead of them...I mean you can get huge sd cards that can hold several hours of quality video and audio...
I saw this commercial today and came here to see if you'd reviewed it! I agree, it's pretty dim. Also, once you have the screen up, you can't see out that window until you take it down. As for the sticky tape corners, put a little waxed paper over it, and that should keep it protected.
I think the idea is there but it's badly executed. A brighter picture, longer loops, and the ability to automatically cycle through loops would help this quite a bit.
Agreed, I wish it cycled through or had longer loops. The same thing over and over is kind of boring.
Did you know you can plug a speaker in that down by the adapter
Does it have a removable SD card? Is there some way to download movies or only what comes with it?
I don't see any way to open it, nor do I see any removable media. It appears to all be internal.
i made the double sidded tap into 'Command' velcro strips and you know its easier to pull that off
Hi so I bought this at Walmart after Christmas for $9.00 and I tried it not really worth $9.00 but wonder if they is a way u can add more movies to it
I'll bet there is a way to hack it, but I'm not that handy. $9 is a pretty good deal!
Would be cool for a store front.
James have I got plans for this thing. It plays movies, I wonder if you can put your own content on it and use as a movie projector for a backyard theater. Throw a few AVIs of movies on it. It doesn't look like it had a USB port but maybe there's a hidden memory card inside. or even a composite video signal running somewhere. (I opened one of my flip style cameras and there was a 1GB MicroSD card in a holder inside.)
I subscribed to your channel, so I'll be on the lookout for that!
Freakin' Reviews Thanks buddy. Hope you like my videos.
Hi James have u figured out how to add our avi
Can I buy more of the slides/pics?
It doesn't look like it. There doesn't seem to be any way to open this.
Its probably a good thing the audio isn't easily set up because you'd drive yourself (and your neighbors) crazy listening to the same 10 seconds over and over haha
Yeah I'm sure that would get old pretty quickly.
Idk... I had Xmas lights that played a cpl different songs n my neighbor complimented them! I don't think they're loud enough to hear through the outside wall
You would have to motion sensor the speaker 😅
