What new decorations are at Spirit Halloween?
Most of Spirit Halloween's merchandise is costumes, but it's also worth visiting to try out their animatronics. Here are some of the really cool ones on display:
Electrified Corpse: A 3.5-foot tall human corpse that looks like it's been cut in half without an arm, covered in cables, and hung upside down. When activated, it shakes and screams like it's been electrocuted.
Monkey Business: A more than 6.5-foot tall clown holds a large box. When activated, the clown talks and laughs with a moving mouth, then the box swings open and a terrifying monkey's head pops out with glowing eyes.
Scary Sitting Scarecrow: A 4.5-foot tall seated scarecrow, looking slumped over with a bowl of candy in its lap (you can fill it with your own candy). When your hand approaches the bowl to get candy, the scarecrow sharply sits up with glowing eyes and screams.
Sinister Straw Man: Another scarecrow that stands about 6 feet tall. When activated, it starts talking with glowing eyes, then quickly shoots up to more than 9 feet into the air, laughs maliciously and keeps talking.
