So when something like the Holidayana Halloween Animatronics Animated Clown comes along, it works on many levels. It is sinister, just for being a clown, but then with the animated movements, spooky phrases and light up eyes, it has layers of effect.

But in the dark of night, with all the features it does offer, it is a great addition to your outdoor Halloween props to scare not only the kids, but any adults with an irrational fear of clowns too. Bonus!
