HalloweenCostumes.com Reveals Massive Wave of Animatronics for 2025

Earlier this Spring, introduced a small selection of new animatronics, with a promise of two additional waves of reveals to come soon after. Well, the tariff situation seemed to have affected their timing, and no additional animatronics were immediately forthcoming. But this week, are back with a vengeance, w ith the debut of their huge 2025 lineup. This massive launch brings over 30 brand-new animatronics, with over 15 returning fan favorites, and a giant selection of budget-friendly 'Scream Savers.' In total, Halloween fans and haunt owners can look forward to more than 75 new items this season, making it the biggest animatronic launch the industry has ever seen. The lineup includes officially licensed props from Ghostbusters , It, Stranger Things , and other fan-favorite franchises, each designed with terrifying motion and sound to bring Halloween displays to the next level. Here's a closer look at a few of my favorites of their exclusives, which I'm very excited to see in person. Ghostbusters Terror Dog Filling out the Ghostbusters line. Image by The Ghostbusters Terror Dog is life-sized, standing at almost 3 feet tall. Its eyes light up, the head turns, and it makes growling noises. A fantastic feature for the animatronic is that it comes with two different sets of horns, to portray either the Keymaster or the Gatekeeper. It's also a great companion piece to the Slimer animatronic which I reviewed last year. Available for preorder now and shipping in September, the Ghostbusters Terror Dog costs $399.99 and is available here. 10ft Mothman The urban legend comes to life! Image by 10 feet for this beast is just the height from head to toe; once you factor in the wings, it's a full 11.5 ft tall! The animatronic features for this recreation of the urban legend include: eyes glowing red, head turning side to side, arms moving up and down, wings flapping, moth clicking and other eerie noises. The 10ft Mothman can be preordered now with a ship date of mid-August, and retails for $499.99. It can be displayed outdoors as long as it's kept away from rain. Rudy From Killer Klowns From Outer Space One of two Killer Klowns available this year. Image by is debuting not one but two different clowns from Killer Klowns From Outer Space this year. There's the balloon dog-walking Spikey, and my personal favorite, the popcorn gun-toting Rudy. A prop gun actually shooting popcorn is pretty impractical, so instead this one lights up and shoots fog, for an eerie effect. Rudy also laughs, eyes lighting up, and he turns from side to side. Rudy stands at 5.6ft tall, and is currently available to preorder with a ship date of mid-August. Both he and Spikey are $399.99. Scream Savers The budget-friendly Scream Savers line. Image by Paul Benson. If you're working on a tighter decorating budget but still want to have some animatronics to display, has you covered this year with their new Scream Saver line. There are over 20 budget-friendly animatronic decorations for Halloween fans who want big scares without the big price tag. The Scream Savers range in price from $30-$125, and feature sound and motion along with engaging designs. Head over to the Scream Savers section of the website to check out all of their animatronics that are scary to trick or treaters, but friendly to your wallet! And So Much More… Obviously, with over 75 new animatronics, what I've shown here is just a taste. There's Adam and Barbara from Beetlejuice, Lock, Stock, and Barrel from Nightmare Before Christmas, and both a Roswell alien and a uniformed alien hunter new for 2025. There are returning props, like Michael Myers, and the fantastic 12-ft scarecrow which Lowe's previously carried, and I reviewed last year. I'm hoping to get my hands on at least a couple of 2025 animatronics to review and share with you over the next few months. In the meanwhile, head on over to to check out their lineup…there's something for everyone! Finally, I'll just leave you with a look at some of the other creepy characters ready to haunt your lawn and home this October… This slideshow requires JavaScript. Liked it?

ETFs to Tap Netflix's Q2 Earnings Beat, Upbeat Outlook

Netflix NFLX reported strong second-quarter 2025 results after the closing bell on Thursday. The world's largest video-streaming company outpaced earnings estimates but slightly missed on revenues. It raised its full-year revenue guidance. Shares of Netflix were down less than 1% in after-market hours. Investors seeking to tap the opportune moment should invest in ETFs with the largest allocation to this streaming giant. These funds include First Trust Dow Jones Internet Index Fund FDN, FT Vest Dow Jones Internet & Target Income ETF FDND, MicroSectors FANG+ ETN FNGS, Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund XLC and Invesco Next Gen Media and Gaming ETF GGME. Q2 Earnings in Detail The company reported earnings per share of $7.19, which strongly outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.07 and the year-ago earnings of $4.88. This marks Netflix's sixth-straight quarterly earnings beat, even though the company no longer posts subscriber numbers. Revenues rose 16% year over year to $11.08 billion and were slightly below the consensus estimate of $11.09 billion. The company remains unscathed by the ongoing tariff chaos, as the entertainment industry demonstrates its resilience in tough economic times. Netflix's low-cost advertising-supported service plan should provide it with greater resilience if the macroeconomic climate worsens (read: Tariff-Led Volatility Ahead for Big Tech? ETFs in Focus). The robust results were driven by popular Netflix programs such as Squid Game, Sirens, Ginny & Georgia, The Eternaut and Secrets We Keep, and hot movies such as Tyler Perry's Straw and Exterritorial. Netflix is optimistic heading into the second half of the year, with a standout slate. The upcoming quarters boast a robust lineup, including the second season of Wednesday, the Stranger Things finale, the Canelo-Crawford live boxing match, Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore 2, Kathryn Bigelow's A House of Dynamite, and Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. For the third quarter, Netflix expects revenues to hit $11.53 billion and earnings per share to be $6.87. The guidance is above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $11.29 billion for revenues and $6.56 for earnings per share. The streaming video giant raised its full-year revenue guidance, citing strong subscriber growth and ad sales momentum. It expects revenues to be in the range of $44.8-$45.2 billion, up from $43.5-$44.5 billion. The company launched its in-house ad tech platform on April 1, with international expansion beginning this quarter. Management expects advertising revenue growth to double in 2025, signaling confidence in this relatively new business segment.

The political and cultural gravity of cancelling The Late Show With Stephen Colbert

Social Sharing Last night, comedian Stephen Colbert told his TV audience that his eponymous late night show will end its run in May 2026. The show's network, CBS, cites financial concerns as the reason to cancel The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. However, media analysts and politicians speculate that Colbert's criticism of President Donald Trump may have more to do with this decision than money. This past Monday, Colbert had criticized CBS parent company Paramount Global for settling a $16 million lawsuit with Trump. Colbert called the settlement a "big fat bribe," as Paramount needs the Trump administration's approval to facilitate a merger between Paramount and Skydance Media. Today on Commotion, host Elamin Abdelmahmoud speaks with film and TV critics Dylan Green, Rad Simonpillai and Alison Willmore to discuss what the cancellation of The Late Show means for the TV and political landscape. We've included some highlights below, edited for length and clarity. For the full discussion on the new film Eddington and the viral "Coldplay couple," listen and follow Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud on your favourite podcast player. WATCH | Today's episode on YouTube: Elamin: The thing that really struck me about this story, Alison, is that the idea that Colbert himself gets named as one of the things that is making Skydance nervous. Because there's a lot of reporting that suggests that Skydance is like, "Hey, Stephen Colbert is quite critical of Trump politics in general." And that could be a reason to maybe, at a certain point, Trump having some kind of frustration and blocking the merger. He does have that power. He has interfered before or attempted to block a merger before. What are you seeing in terms of your reaction to this story? Alison: What's disturbing to me — there are many things that are disturbing about this — but I think in particular, the way in which CBS and Paramount are just one of many large media and tech companies who have essentially paid out to the Trump administration in different ways. ABC also did, I think it was a $15 million settlement over the George Stephanopoulos thing. Meta has paid out. Amazon figured out a way to pay millions and millions of dollars for a Melania documentary that we have yet to see. All of these things, it's hard not to read them for — whatever justification that each one gives — as a means of, yes, doing something that looks a lot like a "big fat bribe" to placate the Trump administration. These are the largest media companies we have and they're immediately bending the knee to the administration. It just gives you that sense that there is no space for even the pretense of a critical voice in any of these large media corporations. In part because Trump has proven so prone to be punitive, but also because none of them seem to want to stand up in any way. They're all immediately saying, "This is the way the wind is blowing, at least for the next few years, and we're going to follow it." That's depressing. It's not a great sign. Elamin: Your reactions to this entire story, Rad, what do you see? Rad: It's hard to take the financial reasons as the excuse, even though there's a lot of legitimacy to that, because late night in general has been suffering and people don't tune in for cable, and we've seen other shows fall for this very reason. But when you say financial reason, I mean, that $16 million settlement is a financial reason. The fact that you have this voice on your platform that is critical of that, that is calling it a "bribe" to the Trump administration to make sure that this sale goes through, this merger with Skydance. That's obviously the thing that everyone is honing in on. If you're thinking about how desperately Paramount wants a sale with Skydance to go through. You think about: what would Skydance want out of a media company? Skydance, their CEO, David Ellison, I mean, this guy's a Trump supporter. This guy's courting [conservative journalist] Bari Weiss to either take over her Free Press organization [her news outlet] or to have her become an editorial overseer in terms of CBS. The idea of Bari Weiss and Stephen Colbert existing at the same media platform, that does not cohere. Elamin: Colbert is far and away the number one show in that slot. He's way ahead of Jimmy Kimmel, who's number two in that slot. And he's the only late night show that's been growing its audience, according to Nielsen ratings. Dylan, does this surprise you, reading all of this? Dylan: Not really. Him and Jon Stewart were pioneers of that particular type of satirical newscasting. And then Colbert transitions into something that he's not playing the character no more. But he has that experience and he has that built-in audience and he's got a lot of power, in that sense. So it shook me to see that they were like, "We're not just replacing something, the whole show is leaving." They're very much sending a statement …. But considering his [Colbert's] reputation, it makes perfect sense to me that they're using him as an opportunity to just be like, "Y'all are next."
