Animatronics Take Over Halloween 2025
Halloween setups are transforming into immersive experiences—and animatronics are leading the charge in 2025.
“Customers want immersion,” says John, founder of House Of Hauntz. “They’re not just decorating—they’re creating full-on haunted scenes.”
Sales of life-size animatronic props have surged this season, with motion-activated clowns, creepy children, and undead priests topping the charts. Customers are seeking cinematic realism, and the industry is responding.
“Animatronics bring the jump-scare without needing actors,” adds John. “It’s Hollywood-level fear—right on your porch.”
Social media is playing a big role, too. Haunters want props that photograph well, perform on video, and draw crowds online. The trend shows no signs of slowing.
Whether you're haunting a front yard or designing a walkthrough, animatronics are becoming the cornerstone of modern Halloween.
