While Spirit Halloween released a number of new animatronics for 2021 during the Halloween season, they seem to be releasing just as many after the season. Earlier this month the Halloween retailer released updated versions of Lil’ Nester and Bloody Bag of Jokes, and on Friday they released four additional animatronics with Hooded Phantom, Cellar Dwellar, Lunging Reaper, and Prowling Jack.
The Hooded Phantom is a new six-foot animatronic cloaked entirely in black cloth, eerie green LED lights that shine from the face and hands. The figure slowly turns side to side as it reaches out while sorrowful bells toll and the figure speaks the following sayings:
- “At last, you are here! Come closer, I will escort you into the shadows of the night.”
- “Your time on this earth has come to an end. I have come for your soul. Whether you sing with the choir invisible or wail with the demons of the underworld, I care not. Your soul is mine.”
- “Come this way, don’t resist. Submit yourself to my embrace. At least then, your suffering will not be as great.
The new Hooded Phantom animatronic is available for purchase now, exclusively through SpiritHalloween.com.
Cellar Dweller, not to be confused with the 2008 animatronic of the same name, is a new seven-foot skeletal figure with light-up eyes and life-like arms that raise and lower. The animatronics head and mouth move as he speaks four spooky phrases including:
- “This dank old house is oozing with foul stench of rotten souls. Its kept me thriving, as long as I hide down here with the rats. I’m happy to share with you, if you have the stomach for it! Huh huh huh!”
- “Uuuuhhhh… I ooze with the spirit of Halloween. Drip, drip drip it goes. Uuuuhhh…”
- “This place drips with doomed spirits. Released from their burial graves, they are searching for fresh victims to haunt. There is no way of hiding from them; but go ahead and try! Huh huh”
- “The syrupy, sick damp of the cellar has made me a moldy mess. But no matter. I’ve grown fond of the wet stench, and want to share it with you! Uuuuhhhh!”
The new Cellar Dweller animatronic is available for purchase now, exclusively through SpiritHalloween.com.
The Lunging Reaper is a new six-foot animatronic that features Digiteye technology, his eyes light up and move along with his mouth that speaks up to four chilling phrases. The poseable figure holds a plastic scythe and reaches forward for an added jump scare for your yard display or haunt. Phrases include:
- “Want to play a game of tag? If I catch you, you have to give up your soul! Aarr!! You’re faster than you look. But don’t worry, I’ll get that soul one way or another!”
- “Do you think that you can sneak past the reaper? I always know when your time has come…Gotcha!! Hahahaha Lucky for you, it’s not your time…yet hahahaha!”
- “The living never think that their lives will come to an end, but all it takes is one touch from me – ooh hoo hahah!! You have escaped my grasp…for now hahahaha!”
- “I have come to guide one of you into the afterlife. Come into my embrace and meet your fate!! Hahhaha don’t worry, I will return for you soon enough!”
Lunging Reaper is available for purchase now, exclusively through SpiritHalloween.com.
And finally, Spirit Halloween has released the seven-foot Prowling Jack animatronic. This giant skeleton holds a glowing, talking jack-o’-lantern and features eerie glowing eyes. Jack’s head and free arm turn, as he plots with his pumpkin friend his next move. Prowling Jack features the following voice interactions:
- “Ahhh, here comes another fool who thinks its safe to come so close to us!” “Ha ha, yeah they must not be very smart! Well, no matter, I’m sure they have more to offer than just brains” True, I can sense a delicious soul in there somewhere…I have a few ideas as to how we get it out! (both laughing) ha ha ha!”
- “You can’t be too careful, there seem to be lots of creeps out tonight!” “Yeah, there’s one right behind you! ……(both laughing) Ha ha ha! Made you look! A word to the living, pal: We are the ones you don’t want to turn your back on!”
- “I love a dank dismal night, when the bitter winds make your soul crack, and all our fiendish friends crawl out of their hiding places to terrorize new victims!”
Prowling Jack is available for purchase now, exclusively through SpiritHalloween.com.
