Manufacturer description

Turn any room into a haunted house with the Fotorama Johnny the Skull Ghost Blasting Projector Game. The skull rotates on its own and projects ghost images onto your walls and ceiling. You grab the Ghost Blaster and hit as many ghosts as you can before the round ends. At the end of each round, the blaster announces how many ghosts you hit, so every round is a run at the high score. Hand the blaster to a friend, sibling or parent and see who ends up as the top ghost hunter. Because the ghosts can land anywhere in the room, you keep turning and aiming, which makes this projector game more…
