Pennywise (2019)

*Not to be confused with the 2015 animatronic Pennywise (2015).*

**Pennywise** was an animatronic sold by *Spirit Halloween* for the 2019 to 2020 Halloween seasons, and returned online for the 2021 and 2022 Halloween seasons. It resembles a replica of the character from the 2017 film, *IT.* When activated, it rises in one quick motion, popping both up and forward, as the eyes light-up and the mouth moves to one of several lines from the film.

## *Spirit Halloween's* Description

"You’ll float, too! Your favorite horror movie monster is about to bring your Halloween horror scene to life! There’s nothing friendly about this authentically-designed Pennywise animatronic, and your guests will be scared by the sheer sight of him! Everyone knows what happens to the kids that Pennywise comes in contact with, so you better warn your guests about what he’s capable of before it’s too late. He’ll jump at you and scoop you up so you’re never seen again!

Pennywise the Dancing Clown will strike fear in everyone who passes by as he quickly pops up as he introduces himself and says exactly what he’s going to do with your flesh. If you don’t run away fast enough, you’ll float too, just as Pennywise warns."

## Trivia

* The animatronic shares the same mechanism as the Forest Demon from 2017.
* The animatronic was likely produced due to the release of *It Chapter Two*.
* This animatronic's code/item number name was ANIMT 18 in 2019, ANIM 1346 in 2020, and ANIM 6265 in 2021
* On 7/23/2020, the website picture was accidentally removed from the listing.
* In the 2020 models, the speaker had been updated to sound louder.
* The 2020 version comes with a red beach ball that's in the shape of a balloon along with two regular balloons.
* The 2020 version has the red makeup on the face painted in a darker red (which resembles the original prototype more), as opposed to the original 2019 version which used a brighter red.
* The 2022 model features the following changes:
	+ Larger control box with larger speaker
	+ Head is now rubber instead of latex
	+ Springs are rounded smaller so it jumps quicker
	+ Programming for when it jumps is timed much better and on queue
	+ Metal arm to hold balloon is much thicker and sturdier
	+ Shoes have added weights so they don’t shift after the prop jumps
	+ Balloon stick is bigger so it won’t bend and flex around when the animatronic jumps
	+ Base pole connectors are welded more so they have a stronger hold to the base
* This item came with a stick to attach the balloon.
* *Gemmy Industries* had offered a version of their Pennywise to *Spirit Halloween* but they never considered it. The *Morbid Enterprises* version was originally a placeholder for *Crazy Create's* before he was released back in late December.
* The early prototype model can be seen in the instruction manual. Note: That model would've included a balloon which is not shown in the image, It also has cracks on the forehead to look more like the Character from the Movie but it wasn't used on the Released Model
* In Pennywises 2nd stock photo, his shoes do not feature his pom poms.
