Halloween has recently passed and that means companies like Spirit Halloween have released their new animatronics for this year. Spirit Halloween definitely didn’t disappoint the people this year with their new releases. With all the new animatronics having smooth movements and detailed designs. But the designs according to some people have gone well a bit old or boring.
The most complimentary things of the animatronics this year are their movements and new features. Most animatronics tend to just have small features like glowing eyes or small upper body twist. But this year the movements on most animatronics are smoother and a tad more complex. Like Spirit Halloween’s Victor and Emily animatronics from the Corpse Bride franchise. They both involve three full movements which are side-to-side upper body twist, blinking eyes, and head movement. When together the two can interact with each other through dialogue. Another Spirit Halloween animatronic that had come out this year was Art the Clown from Terrifer. Art the Clown comes with a pair of removable sunflower sunglasses from his movie series. Made with the movements of his head and torso twisting side-to-side and his left hand doing a repeated waving motion.
But even with this advancement in animatronics there are still people out there who aren’t too thrilled with it. This is because they believe that Halloween just isn’t the same anymore. This is because as a society we seem to have drifted away from the original meaning of Halloween being a day of fright and began focusing it more on the kids and partying. Some people believe most animatronics now are either based off a franchise for popularity or lightened up for children’s sake.
In the end, everyone has their own opinions on how Halloween should be celebrated. Yet that is exactly what’s great about holidays, they’re made for people to take and celebrate them however they see fit. So even if people enjoy the way Halloween is now or not, it can’t be denied that work and effort was definitely put into the Halloween animatronics released this year.
