Headless Help

**Headless Help** was an animatronic sold by *Spirit Halloween* for the 2019 Halloween season. It resembled a headless butler dressed in a grey and light-blue coat, that held a silver platter and his head. When activated, the eyes blinked, as the mouth moved to one of several phrases. It can also be used with an included microphone, so you can talk to guests through the butler.

## *Spirit Halloween's* Description

"Preston loved working as a butler. He did his job with passion, and it really showed. One night, Preston made a mistake, and mixed up Mr. Richie’s drink order. Uh oh! Mr. Richie expected Preston to be perfect, and this mistake was unacceptable. He cut off Preston’s head with one swing of the sword he had hanging in his living room. But, to Mr. Richie’s surprise, Preston survived the attack! Instead of falling to the ground, Preston bent over, picked up his head and said he’d return with the correct drink. Some say he’s still under Mr. Richie’s spell. So if you ever see Preston, don’t be alarmed. He’s more than eager to serve you with whatever you need.

The Headless Help’s eyes and mouth move as he tells jokes and a couple terrifying phrases. You can also speak into the microphone (included), and the Headless Help’s mouth will move as you speak, so he can say anything you want him to! Place a few drinks, some treats, or even a bowl of candy on the tray he holds to really give your guests quite the experience.”
