The Talking Tombstone also known as the Tombstone Splitting Skeleton was an animated Halloween decoration made in 2003 to 2005. It resembled an ornate tombstone with a crack down the middle. When activated by the try me button or motion sensor, a skeleton pulled the tombstone apart and screamed loudly while it’s eyes lit-up before closing the two halves of the tombstone back together.
