* Resting
* Risen

**Mr. Dark** was an animatronic sold by *Spirit Halloween* for the 2021 and 2022 Halloween seasons. It resembled a skeleton with red eyes in a black robe. When activated, he pops up as his eyes light-up while he speaks spooky threats with sound effects.

## *Spirit Halloween's* Description

"Mr. Dark is waiting. He always is waiting. He’s tucked away in the shadowy corners of a room, patiently crouched in the midnight of a long alley or shrouded in parts of your mind you are afraid of when you fall asleep. Mr. Dark is there biding his time and growing bigger every minute, feeding on your fear, anxiety, wicked thoughts, and growing stronger each minute. Then before you know it, his evil darkness has enveloped you and your soul. Don’t blink because it’s already happening to you!

You never know what kind of dark hallway or corner Mr. Dark will be hiding in your home! Once you catch a glimpse of his terrifying light-up red LED eyes you're too late. With the built-in scissor mechanism, he'll already be shooting up to nine feet tall to scare you off of your feet!"
