Heights commonly range from small tabletop figures (around 14 inches) up to life‑size animatronics roughly 6 feet tall. Many yard figures are listed near 72–74 inches, so typical options span about 14 inches to 72–74 inches.
Animatronics are typically activated by sound or motion sensors or by manual button triggers. Power can come from batteries (for example, AA cells on some models) or from a DC power adapter included with many life‑size figures.
Common effects combine glowing or pulsating green lighting (eyes, chests, neon cauldrons) with spooky audio such as howls, rattling chains, and pre‑recorded phrases or sound loops to enhance atmosphere.
Suitability varies by product: some items are intended for indoor use only, while others are rated for outdoor or covered outdoor placement. Many animatronics and decor specify indoor haunted setups or covered outdoor displays in their guidance.
Animations range from subtle head turns and arm waves to full rotating heads, moving hands or brooms, and synchronized mouth/head motion with pre‑recorded phrases. Some props use multi‑sensory triggers (sound/motion) for lifelike movement.
