seven feet tall, Doctor Payne the
fire Eater on stilts for three hundred and

68
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.120
twenty five dollars is quite the sinister
show man. With his next stretch towards

69
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:38.879
the sky, he appears to breathe
fire into the night and bursts of light

and smoke escaping his ghastly grin.
The animatronics eyes, mouth, and torch

light up, and the piece is
fog machine compatible. A Terrifying Teddy Bear

72
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.839
skill Crane two hundred and fifty dollars
appears to be a standard claw game,

73
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:57.319
but instead of using the claw to
find a teddy Bear, a petrifying plushy

74
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.199
finds you instead. The piece is
five points seven feet tall with a claw

75
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.399
that moves side to side and an
evil looking teddy bear that pops up to

76
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:10.560
frighten unsuspecting trigger treaters. Neither animatronic
is on sale just yet. Stay tuned
