Highway to Halloween: The Haunted Hill Farm ‘I Scream Clown' Halloween Animatronic Prop
As a brand, Haunted Hill Farm has been around since 2019, providing affordable animatronics, props, and inflatables to Halloween enthusiasts. Some of their higher-end props come from well-known manufacturer Tekky, and the I Scream Clown is one of those, new to market for 2025 and just in time for Summerween. It's also the first Haunted Hill Farm prop that I've reviewed. Will this clown bring a smile to your face, or a frown? What Is the I Scream Clown Halloween Animatronic Prop? The I Scream Clown Halloween animatronic prop is a 6.9 ft. indoor/covered outdoor prop manufactured by Tekky and distributed under the Haunted Hill Farm brand. It retails for $329.99 and is available through Amazon and other stores where you can find Halloween decor. Here's are the highlights of the prop: Premium life-size animatronic: frighten guests and trick-or-treaters with this premium quality spine-chilling Halloween decoration. Includes volume control: featuring spooky sounds that will surely frighten anyone who crosses its path. Eye-catching lights and sounds: a combination of chilling sound and lightning effects creates a dramatic atmosphere. Sound and motion-sensor activated: this animatronic activates with sound or motion, ensuring it surprises everyone who gets too close. Battery-powered: outlet not required; simply add four AA batteries to power up this terrifying decoration for long-lasting Halloween fun. Animated motion: the animatronic features a moving jaw, rotating eyeball ice cream cone, and several chilling phrases to frighten your guests. Human sensor (PIR): detects body heat (infrared), similar to motion-activated lights or security sensors, it has a lens cap (usually white or black, but customizable) and is more advanced than the older. The I Scream Clown shipping box. Image by Paul Benson. Assembling the I Scream Clown Halloween Animatronic Prop As with most animatronic props, you start with the base and build up. The I Scream Clown is no exception, with the lower legs clipping into the base, and the oversized plastic clown shoes fitting over. Beginning the build. Image by Paul Benson. Every part is clearly labeled, and the instructions are very clear. Unfortunately, adding the upper legs led to the first and only snag in the entire build. That step has you attach the two upper legs to the two lower one, matching 'B' to 'B' on both. However, as I soon discovered, the upper leg parts are not identical. And as luck would have it, I originally put them together wrong. This led to the legs bending outwards, which I didn't notice at first. These hips really shouldn't be this wide…Image by Paul Benson. When I later attempted to connect the hips, I immediately realized my mistake and simply swapped the upper leg pieces. However, that additional step wouldn't have been necessary had Tekky simply used additional letters for the leg pieces to indicate which piece attaches on the left, and which on the right. Despite that one hiccup, the rest of the assembly went by without a hitch. This slideshow requires JavaScript. Everything fit together well, and it took me about 15 minutes total before I had the I Scream Clown fully assembled. The last step was to connect the wires from the head, right hand, and sensor to the control panel, and then plug him in and turn him on. The completed I Scream Clown. Image by Paul Benson. The I Scream Clown's mouth and eyes light up, and he's got two different mechanized motions: the jaw opens and closes along with his dialogue, and the eye on top of the ice cream cone turns back and forth. Here's a look at the I Scream Clown in action: I Scream Clown Halloween Animatronic Prop – Final Thoughts The I Scream Clown is the second animatronic prop from Tekky that I've reviewed for GeekDad, following the Haunted Sea Diver that I covered earlier this year. Much like the Sea Diver, the I Scream Clown has a lot of great details that really helps him be a truly terrifying clown. The melting ice cream cone dripping all over his head is a great touch, and of course the missing eye socket and the eyeball having relocated as the 'cherry' on top of the ice cream cone really sends this one into body horror territory. And, of course, the fact that the eye moves seemingly of its own volition raises the creepy quotient quite a bit. Apparently ice cream is bad for you…who knew? Image by Paul Benson. The splatters of ice cream on the clown's shirt, pants, and drips of ice cream on just his right shoe really reinforce the story of the I Scream Clown. I also want to draw attention to the fabric strips used inside of the I Scream Clown's mouth. Speaking of creepy, they really give the illusion of meaty redness inside of the clown's mouth, giving it an even more horrifying appearance as it speaks. A closer look at the monstrous mouth. Image by Paul Benson. While the I Scream Clown is a really fun and well-designed prop, there are a couple of small issues worth pointing out. First, I would have loved to have seen some velcro in the prop for attaching the cuffs of the sleeves to the hands so that they don't accidentally pull back and expose the arm poles. This, of course, is an easy enough thing to add yourself, but with a $300+ prop, it really feels like an oversight. Hopefully, along with the labeling issue with the upper legs, Tekky will correct this in the future. And second, as you can tell from the video, the motor for the mouth is somewhat louder than I would like. However, it certainly doesn't prevent you from hearing the dialogue, which is crisp and clear. There are some technical features of the prop that I quite appreciate. I love that you have a built-in option to power the I Scream Clown either by AC or with batteries. This makes him easy to locate wherever you want, regardless of whether there's an outlet available. There's an outlet for an external speaker, though I doubt most will need it as the clown gets plenty loud just from the speaker built into the control box. And, you also have the option of connecting a footpad to the prop, so that he'll only activate when you want him to. Standing just shy of 7 feet, the I Scream Clown will loom over visitors to your haunt on Halloween. If you've got a creepy carnival or circus theme going on, he'll fit in just fine, ready to shock and delight. He certainly drew a lot of approval from my neighbors, who delighted at his horrific visage and that moving eyeball. He's well-constructed, and should hopefully last through several seasons of scaring. The I Scream Clown is a fun and frightening animatronic prop ready to bring the scare factor with his not so sweet treats. For more information or to make a purchase, head over to Amazon.

Antony Starr pens farewell note for his 'Homelander' character as 'The Boys' final season wraps shooting
Washington, DC [US], August 14 (ANI): Actor Antony Starr penned an emotional goodbye to his 'The Boys' character Homelander on Wednesday as the Amazon series wrapped production on its fifth and final season. In his Instagram handle, Antony Starr penned a long, heartfelt caption and posted some behind-the-scenes photos from the superhero satire. The actor called his character 'Homelander' a true 'highlight' of his career. 'Difficult (for me) to put into words what an incredible ride this has been. How much life and growth has occurred. How amazing the team is. It's truly been the highlight of my career,' Starr wrote. 'When we began, I had no idea what was coming. This juggernaut left the station and never stopped. Except for that Covid moment. Oh and the strikes. That was a thing too. But apart from those two times, it never stopped, boldly making its mark on the television landscape. There's nothing else like it. It lives in its own lane,' added Antony Starr. With production on the final season having wrapped, Starr then handed out thank yous to 'the incredible Canadian crew. The amazing production team. The insanely talented cast. The people at Amazon and Sony that took a chance on this insane thing(and made the great choice in casting me)and all the other people that contributed in some way, big or small, to this beautiful, complex, warped, delicious show.' The actor then thanked showrunner Eric Kripke, whom he called his 'co-parent with his twisted gem of a character'. 'We created a monster, sir. And I will miss him, and you. Till we roll out the last season. When I'll see you. But this creative chapter is closed, and I'll miss it, brother,' added Starr. 'The Boys' first debuted in 2019 and has received both commercial and critical acclaim, landing eight Emmy nominations, including for outstanding drama series. Though the final season of 'The Boys' isn't expected to air until next year, spinoff series 'Gen V', which follows college-aged supes, is set to premiere its second season on September 17. (ANI)

Promotions and products are subject to availability and retailer terms. Forever the Cool Girl cousin, black reeks of fashion. And sometimes throwing a darker hue into your wardrobe mix (in a summer-weighted fabric like linen) can both ground your look and elevate it at the same time. Have you heard my favourite saying? 'I'll stop wearing black when they invent a darker colour.' Tailored and Timeless Right on cue for the August return of upscale academia, a pleated skirt with simple lace-up brogues and a black twin set is equal parts fetching and fashion.
