Leatherface, The Crypt Keeper, and Killer Klowns Join Spirit Halloween’s Haunting Animatronic Lineup

Spirit Halloween’s Haunting Animatronic Lineup Adds Leatherface, The Crypt Keeper, and Killer Klowns

Although the summer movie season is in full swing, horror enthusiasts are already gearing up for Halloween, which is just three months away. For genre fans, visiting their local Spirit Halloween store during the fall is an exciting experience, as they get to purchase the latest and hottest horror merchandise. As the countdown to All Hallows’ Eve continues, Spirit Halloween has unveiled its newest collection of life-sized licensed animatronics for 2023.

Included in this chilling lineup are Leatherface from the renowned movie “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” Slim from “Killer Klowns from Outer Space,” and the infamous Crypt Keeper from the iconic anthology franchise “Creepshow.” Leatherface stands an imposing six feet tall, while Slim towers over you at an astonishing height of 7.2 feet. For those seeking something more manageable, The Crypt Keeper sits comfortably in a nice, cozy chair, measuring only 2.5 feet in height. Just like in “Creepshow,” they appear ready to narrate a bone-chilling bedtime story. This terrifying trio joins Spirit Halloween’s collection of original characters known as the “Directory of Residents,” which includes “The Black Heart,” “Creepy Rising Doll,” “Dagger Mike,” and the “Death Stalker.”

A Revival of Horror

With franchises like “Creepshow” being resurrected through an incredible Shudder series and “Texas Chain Saw Massacre” receiving a new legacy sequel on Netflix last year, horror fans have been treated to an abundance of content in recent years. In many ways, it feels like the 80s all over again, with slasher films being reinvented through original works like “X,” “Terrifier,” and “Sick,” while beloved franchises like “Scream” and “Halloween” make triumphant returns. Even “Killer Klowns from Outer Space,” a niche horror gem, is getting a new video game, alongside “Texas Chainsaw,” later this year. Horror is thriving, with a plethora of successful films such as “M3GAN,” “Smile,” “Cocaine Bear,” and “Evil Dead Rise” dominating the box office. This summer alone, horror fans were delighted with another exceptional Stephen King adaptation in “The Boogeyman,” and “Insidious: The Red Door” is just around the sinister corner. Spirit Halloween has embraced this wave of horror resurgence, even releasing its own film last year, reminiscent of the 2015 adaptation of “Goosebumps.” The popular horror retailer has thrived in this nostalgic yet fresh genre era, and its success is set to continue when its pop-up stores flood the United States later this year.
