As of today, there are only 97 days until Halloween. While that may feel like an awfully long way away, for Halloween buffs (
), it feels like an eternity.
Where do Halloween enthusiasts go to get their fix on? Spirit Halloween, of course. And as soon as the doors open to the over 1,500 Spirit Halloween stores, it’s on like Donkey Kong. Now in its 40th year of scaring neighbors everywhere, Spirit stores are beginning to rev up in preparation for another season of spooks.
If you’re near the Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey area, your flagship Spirit store is having its Grand Opening on July 29, where the first 200 fans get a Spirit Halloween 40th Anniversary swag bag. While the rest of us twiddle our thumbs waiting for our Spirit stores to open, take a look at the newest, spookiest Spirit Halloween animatronics that might even make Stephen King jump right out of his socks:
Stilts Animatronic
Stilts is 7.9 feet of menacing terror. He juggles his blood-soaked pins, roaming the streets as he tries to impress onlookers — or else they’ll pay a hefty price. Stilts features a side-to-side moving torso and a head that spins 360 degrees.
Creepy Rising Doll Animatronic
Will you play hide and seek at Mrs. Browards Home for Wayward Girls with her?
She has a baby voice that lures you as she crouches down, but the closer you get, her voice becomes darker and deeper as her eyes glow a bright red as she rises up to a towering 6 feet.
The Crypt Keeper Animatronic
Listen to the cryptic stories only The Crypt Keeper can tell with your very own. He moves his head and eyes from side to side while speaking from his decaying face.
“Love me tender, love me true, let me be the ghoul for you. So, have fun kiddies and don’t forget … the morgue … the merrier.”
Poor George Animatronic
The story goes: George used to make kids laugh and parents smile. But one Halloween, George was performing on the street when a cable car careened around the corner and sliced him in half. His body survived, but his mind was tormented. Instead of jokes and gags, he laughs maniacally at passersby.
Leatherface: Pretty Woman Mask Animatronic
The unmistakable sound of Leatherface’s chainsaw will light a fire under your feet, but it’s too late by then.
True fans of the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” will scream with delight to add this 6-foot cannibalistic serial killer into their Halloween yard collection.
