Dead Humor Rising Clown - Spirit Halloween 2013

Wonder if it'll be a pop up zombie mechanism or a jumping zombie mechanism. Either way it actually would be cool to have him pop up from behind something.

That is rather unfortunate. There's nothing particularly wrong with that type of popup. I have one in a skeleton version and they have zombie popups like that too. In fact the one I have comes with a remote control as well to set it off and it was fun a couple years ago doing that. You can really time the scare well. But you have to really secure the base of the prop to help it last. I do that with all my tekky props anyway- it helps stablize them and that helps them last and not break. But, I was hoping the clown would be another version of the popup zombie mechanism- a much better startle and you could really get creative with him popping up out of a jack-in-the-box, or a large toy block, or even a barrel. But this one needs a bit of room when it lays flat so the best you could do is maybe put him behind a short wall. The sound track isn't too bad, but it doesn't look like his eyes light up which depending on your tastes, could be a good thing or a bad thing.
