Your guests came for candy, but this witch animatronic has other plans: she wants to read their future, and it does not look good. Standing 68 inches tall in a tattered shawl and a long, aging brown dress, this old soothsayer grips a crystal ball that shifts colours while she waits for someone brave enough to come closer. One more step, and the reading begins.

A fortune teller who moves and speaks

• She wakes up when you get near: her head turns side to side, her eyes glow and her hand waves back and forth.
• Her mouth moves, gnarled teeth and all, as she delivers one of five unsettling messages, from dark whispers about the spirits beyond the veil to a burst of cackling laughter.
• You decide how she comes to life, with three activation modes (steady-on, an infrared sensor or a step-here pad) and a volume control to suit your space.
• Set-up takes less than 30 minutes with snap-together rods, she works with a universal adapter, and she can stand on her own or sit in a chair.

Where she delivers her prophecies

Place her by the front door on Halloween night, in a darkened corner of your haunted house, or at the end of a hallway where the step-here pad will catch visitors off guard. Seated in an old armchair, she becomes the eerie fortune teller of your sance party; standing tall, she greets trick-or-treaters with a warning they will repeat all the way home. Among Halloween witch props, few make a scare feel this personal. Give this witch animatronic a spot in your display and let her decide who gets to leave!
