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?
