Demonic Dahlia

**Demonic Dahlia** was an animatronic sold by *Spirit Halloween* since the 2019 Halloween season. It resembles a woman in a black dress from the mid-19th century, in a sitting position. When activated, it jumps up, while the head tilts-up and laughter could be heard.

## *Spirit Halloween's* Description

"Dahlia was always one of the friendliest woman in town. Until one day, Dahlia wasn’t outside at her normal time. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. She hadn’t been seen by the people in town for quite some time, but they did hear disturbing sounds coming from her home. No one wanted to look, until two teenagers decided to enter through the back door on a gloomy autumn night. They say they saw Dahlia sitting in a chair, and when they got closer, her eyes were glossy white and her mouth had been cut open. She shot up from her seat, and the teenagers luckily made it out before she latched on. Dahlia used to be a sweet, loving lady, but now, you better keep your distance."

"Demonic Dahlia appears as though she’s sitting down, but the moment you come too close, she pops up quickly, ready to grab you. She’s told you to stay away before, so now she’s had it. Her mouth is open as wide as it can go as she maniacally laughs at the sight of your fear."
