Peek-A-Boo Clown

* Activation
* Deactivation

The **Peek-A-Boo Clown** was an animatronic sold by *Spirit Halloween* for the 2020 Halloween season. It resembled a blue-haired clown with some teeth rotting and some teeth missing, wearing green clothing with blue polka-dots, a matching party hat and orange shoes, covering its eyes with its hands. When activated, the animatronic reveals swirling eyes in multiple colors, moving up from a hunched position as its hands pull back away from its eyes and it says one of four different spooky phrases.

## *Spirit Halloween's* Description

"No one knows his real name or what circus brought him to town. Some stories say he got those ghastly scars from the Strongman after playing peek-a-boo with his wife. When the sun dips low, you can find him standing outside the grocery store, car dealership, or liquor store begging for a game of hide and seek. It's usually harmless . . . unless he catches you!

This Peek-A-Boo Animatronic begins in a hunched over position hiding his face before making creepy sounds and opening his arms to stand upright and reveal his terrifying eyes."

## Trivia

* This animatronic's code/item number name is ANIM 5542.
* Prior to its release, this animatronic was codenamed "SPIRAL."
* This animatronic had originally a working name of ***Hide and Freak***. This was discovered under the animatronic page description in the following sentence, "*Hide and Freak and Crouchy, with his dagger-like teeth, long, pointed nails and maniacal laughter, are also ready to have you jumping in the air in fear.*" The sentence was later fixed.
* A teaser was made for this animatronic and it was first believed to be a remodel of the Wacky Mole Clown.
* This animatronic features eyes made from LCD screens, similar to the Wailing Phantom, which is an animatronic that was released by Seasonal Visions International at the 2020 Halloween and Party Expo.
* One of the prototypes featured different color gloves and pom poms instead of buttons and could be seen on the original stock images. However they have since been updated.
* A second prototype was originally on display at The Flagship Store but removed prior to opening day and could've been seen in the backroom. This one also featured grey gloves but did include buttons on the clothing instead of pom poms.
* From 7/18/2020 - 7/19/2020 the website picture was accidentally removed.
* The day this animatronic was released, a 24 hour giveaway was hosted for a chance to win it. As of now, the giveaway has ended.
* The voice actor for this animatronic uses the same clown voice as the Looming Clown.
* One of this animatronics' soundtrack that can be heard is called Much To My Surprise. This is also the same music as Tug-of-War Clowns.
* This animatronic sometimes came with a distorted face due to the material.
* Supposedly, there would have been a mask made of his face called *Digiteyes Clown.* It was canceled for unknown reasons.
