PoisonProps.com PB201 PUMPKIN HEAD DESCENDER Halloween Animatronic

The PoisonProps PB201 Pumpkin Head Descender is a commercial haunted attraction animatronic that stages a dramatic ambush scare. Concealed behind trees, the prop triggers the surrounding trees to part before a pumpkin-headed figure plunges from approximately nine feet down to six feet — stopping right in guests' faces while shaking violently and playing custom audio. The combined reveal, rapid descent, and sound make for a highly disorienting and memorable scare effect.
