Halloween Animatronics Buying Guide

Put your listening ears on as Emily from the movie, Corpse Bride, sings “Tears to Shed” while holding a bouquet of flowers, even as a worm pops out of her eye. Standing just over five feet tall, the life-sized animated bride’s torso turns from side to side as she eerily charms on her wedding day. Aren’t you going to congratulate her on her big day?

Victor looks positively petrified. Surely it has nothing to do with Emily, or does it? Victor also comes to us from the movie, Corpse Bride. Standing six feet tall with wedding ring in hand, Victor’s eyes blink, his head moves from side-to-side, and he speaks phrases from the movie. He may not be scary but just look at those big, round saucer eyes. Don’t you feel sorry for him?

Dogs are so adorable. Even if they’re covered in stitches. And their tails fall off every now and then. And their ears. Just like Sparky, the precious little undead dog from the movie, Frankenweenie. He may not be scary, but trick-or-treaters will fall in love with him as he shakes his head, wags his tail, barks and plays a spooky song.

Halloween can be a spooky time but don’t be like The Headless Knight and lose your head over it. He’d make a great addition to any front porch, entryway, vestibule or any other place you require the services of a sentry to stand guard. This life-sized knight holds his head in his hand as his eyes glow a haunting green, and he sings a ghostly tune. Sing along if you dare.

You can’t say he isn’t doing his job. The Bone Collector is nothing if not a good employee. At 12 feet tall, this giant creature strikes an imposing figure. He’s sound- and motion-activated, so there’ll be no getting past this guy. You and your guests should be safe, though. He’s only after the bones.

You can’t have Halloween without a witch. This one’s a creepy old crone with rotted teeth and red glowing eyes. She’s motion-activated, her head swings back and forth and her posable arms move as well. Watch out or she’ll touch you with those wicked hands. But what can be worse than a witch? More witches.

Zombies are a Halloween staple. You can never have enough zombies. Fill your yard with these creepy figures and give your trick-or-treaters a frightful surprise. Zombies come with their own musical score along with the requisite moans and groans. But be on your toes; there might be one behind you ready to pounce.

When the clowns are this creepy, you could be forgiven for not loving them. Not all Halloween clowns are the sweet, happy-go-lucky clowns you see on Saturday morning cartoons. This Halloween, embrace the weirdness of the ones like the touch-activated two-headed clown with rotted teeth who shakes maniacally and whose eyes light up. There’s more where that came from.
