* The eyes on this animatronic highly resemble Forest Demon's eyes from 2017, leading people to believe it would likely be produced by *Crazy Create*.

* This animatronic was originally confirmed to be *Krampus* by the ring on its hand visible in two of the shots from the "Something terrifying is coming!" teaser, and was later confirmed by a cryptic instagram exchange between Michael Dougherty, the director of the *Krampus* film, and the *Spirit Halloween* Instagram account.
