Animated Halloween Props

Props For Halloween Haunted Houses

Tired of the same old Halloween decorations? Want an outstandingly frightful experience for your friends and neighbors? Nothing makes the Halloween experience more authentic than animated Halloween props. Whether you're building a haunted house, preparing for a Halloween party, or just decorating your front yard for the holiday, animated Halloween props are just what you need to create the ghoulish atmosphere your friends will never forget.

A drive around your neighborhood in October is all it takes to know that everyone shops at the same place for their Halloween decorations. Why look like everyone else? If you're bored with the same old static witches, bats, and ghosts, you'll love the animated versions. More than that, we have grisly, gory moving props so realistic your neighbors will be talking about them the entire year.

Set the mood of the Halloween party right away by letting a mutilated zombie welcome your guests. Disgustingly realistic with straggly hair and twitching entrails, it will ensure the squeamish never even make it to the door. Your guests will wonder what's waiting for them inside...and those who survive will anxiously await next year, just to see what you come up with next.

Animated Halloween Witch Prop

A fortune telling witch to liven up your Halloween party

Animated Halloween WitchA traditional Halloween party activity is divination. We all want a glimpse of what's ahead, and sometimes we want to see what's on the other side...we just want to see it from the safety of this side. Or is it safe? Will the witch gaze into her crystal ball and tell us what we want to know? Or will she use it to cast a spell on us?

Ordinary Halloween witch decorations are too small and stationary to be scary. Your guests will be intrigued by Helga, the animated witch fortune teller. In fact, they may not be able to tell if she's alive or just a prop. At 5'6," life-sized Helga wears a classic witch outfit with authentic details, and her knobby hands caress her crystal ball to bring forth a vision of the future for all who pass by.

Helga animated witch stands always at the ready. Her performance is activated by light and motion, so no one gets by without a fortune...or a curse. Her eyes glow as she chants pre-recorded sayings that will send shivers up your spine.

Animated Graveyard Halloween Decoration

Who's that hiding behind that Halloween tombstone?

Animated TombstoneOne of the eeriest places to be on Halloween is in a graveyard. According to ancient Celtic belief, this world and the Otherworld are separated by a very thin membrane. On Halloween the membrane becomes even thinner, and spirits are then able to cross over. Will they be harmless spirits, or will they be evil?

Bring the eerie chill of a graveyard into your own yard for the Halloween season. Which of your friends are brave enough to walk among the grave markers? Disguising yourself as a ghoul or goblin can ward off any evil spirits that cross the membrane, but if your costume isn't good enough, be careful! You never know what may be lurking behind a tombstone.

This 36" tall guardian of the grave hides behind a tombstone until he rises with eyes aglow to scare the bejeebers out of anyone who walks by. Very effective in dim evening light, this animated graveyard prop will have all your visitors hoping their costume is scary enough to ward off evil spirits.

Animated Ghost Prop For Halloween

Ghosts and spooks for Halloween fun

Animated GhostGhosts are classic Halloween decorations. Big or small, you'll see them everywhere, but mostly they just hang around from tree branches. You know that's not how real ghosts act. Ghosts are unpredictable, moving first this way, and then that.

If you want an authentic spook, put the white sheets away. Get this 48" animated ghost Halloween prop. It hovers above the ground and moves side to side, making eerie groans and ghost sounds. Just when your guests think it's safe to pass, your ghost moves their way to give them a fright.

Set out a whole cloud of animated ghosts in your yard...or line your sidewalk and let your visitors run the gauntlet. Spice up a Halloween party for the younger set, who may not be ready for the more graphic props. But remember -- just because a ghost looks tame, that doesn't mean it's a friendly ghost!

Animated Creepy Body Parts

Animated Pumping Heart

Animated Pumping HeartSometimes the scariest Halloween decorations are the ones that cut close to the heart. The more personal the prop, the more frightening. The more unexpected, the more screams. Be unpredictable and tuck some animated bloody body parts into your Halloween decorating.

Set up a Halloween kitchen scene with a realistic pumping heart on a cutting board. This animated prop includes the heart, the chopping board, and the knife -- all in plastic -- as well as an AC power cord. Stir up some water and red food coloring for blood, plug in the cord, and the heart pumps blood all over the tray.

Not for the squeamish, the animated pumping heart both attracts and repels by virtue of its personal nature. After all, everyone has a heart -- or did.
