It will still work but for decoration but the stake that the arm goes in snapped off immediately while putting it into the grass

Some of the spikes to go into the ground did not work so had to use some chopsticks I had instead but they were out there for weeks in front yard, liked it so much kept it out AFTER Halloween.

This thing looks pretty cool! The only downside is when trying to move the arms it snapped off from the stake. I even saw the instructions to move it slowly so they wouldn't break but it did anyways. I rigged it back together but still kind of bummed it broke. Overall looks pretty cool and would recommend.

Of all the halloween decorations I bought off Best Buy this year, this one seems to be the best. The stakes are sturdy, and the arms stay upright if you position them that way. The mouth on the skull can also be adjusted.
