Best Halloween Animatronics Decorations Ideas in 2022

25+ Best Halloween Animatronic Decorations in 2022

Halloween animatronics have become one of the most Halloween decorations. Check out the trending animated Halloween decorations in 2022.

Every neighborhood around the country seems to have that one house that goes all out for Halloween. Whether they turn their garage into a haunted house, maze or have all the latest Halloween decorations, every trick-or-treater cannot wait to visit that house on October 31st.

While many of these Halloween fanatics create their own scary Halloween decor to entertain their guests, the stuff for sale at Halloween stores have become more realistic and spooktacular. This is the reason Halloween animatronics have continued to grow in popularity every Halloween.

These horrifying animated props often take the form of a ghost, zombie, witch, demon or other eerie character with motion activated noises and movements. As trick-or-treaters approach the front door, these animated props will activate and scare your unsuspecting visitors. We recommend you place them besides a sidewalk leading up to your front door or on your porch to maximizes the scares.

This year we’ve seen a new crop of Halloween animatronics released at popular Halloween stores including Spirit Halloween, HalloweenCostumes.com, Walmart, Home Depot and more. So we decided to create a list of the best newly released Halloween animatronics in 2022.

Our list includes scarecrows with pumpkin heads, nightmarish zombies, scary clowns, and wicked witches. Many of these animatronics have light-up LED lights for eyes, motion activated voices, and movements that will spook all your unsuspecting trick-or-treaters.

The big downfall with these viral Halloween decorations is the price. They can be quite expensive. Most of the best selling Halloween animatronics will cost anywhere from $50 to as much as $500, so if you are looking for budget friendly Halloween decor ideas this list may not be for you. If you are still interested in looking at great Halloween animatronic decor ideas please take a look at our list!

as of March 12, 2024 6:53 am

Over 100 years ago, the legend tells us a loving mother made her son a homemade Halloween costume so he could finally go trick or treating. The other children teased him, making fun of the costume and calling him horrible names. As a final torment they locked him away in the barn on an abandoned pumpkin farm. Little did they know, the barn was haunted by the spirits of the family who starved to death there during the Great Winter. Now, the barn is the final resting place for the poor boy’s body but his soul rages on dedicated to torturing neighborhood kids every Halloween.

The Possessed Pumpkin is ready to go on display this Halloween and get revenge on those who abandoned him so many years ago. Standing at seven feet tall, with his evil light-up eyes and lanky frame watch as he turns from left to right taunting anyone who crosses his path.
