Spririt lists this Trick 'r Treat Sam as an "animatronic" even though he doesn't get up and dance around, just plays music as far as I can see.  Still...  pretty neat little porch greeter.  Maybe a bit too big.  I don't think the movie Sam would sit so tall.

The listing:   https://tinyurl.com/y57shv9b

Now, if you can find a big Spirit discount offer...

Spirit is also still listing there 30" tall Sam Doll.  I think he would fit better in my window.  He is much shorted sitting down with his pumpkin.

He's also only $99.

Anybody have a good discount code for Spririt?

                        Alien - Animatronic, Grey - 52 in. - Halloween Costumes, 2026

Halloween Costumes is offering last year's Green Alien in a much nicer, I think, GREY. Only the color has changed.  The kid in the YouTube video says there will be only 50 produced.

We are getting a preview of their animatronics line for 2026.

    Here is a walkthrough of their Trans World booth: https://youtu.be/XaUrnmR1vjk

Here is a YouTube unboxing video for last year's GREEN Alien.  The kid's irritating delivery is kinda tough to listen to, but he does give great detail on what's involved.

Not Halloween per se, but Hallmark is releasing a Creature from the Black Lagoon Christmas ornament this year. Looks like it will be $23.99 (https://bloody-disgusting.com/the-further/3945887/hallmark-horror-keepsake-ornaments-for-2026-include-goosebumps-and-michael-myers/)
