# Animatronic Ghost Decorations The 'Ghost Flyer' is a Terrifying Halloween Decoration By Joey Haar | Published 2016-10-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-flyer References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/how-to-blow-over-20-000-decorating-your-home-for-hallo-1788153089) & [thehorrordome](https://www.thehorrordome.com/collections/professional-halloween-animatronics/products/ghost-flyer-halloween-animatronic-hd822) Technology has taken [Halloween decorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/target-2025-halloween-collection) to a new plateau of terror and the Ghost Flyer from The Horror Dome shows that cotton cobwebs simply won't cut it anymore. The Ghost Flyer is a prop that automatically jumps out at [trick-or-treaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ring-candy-cam), giving them a fright that might make them think twice before venturing to knock on the door. Standing -- or, more accurately, floating -- at seven feet tall, the Ghost Flyer is an imposing presence. Beyond pure size, the Ghost Flyer's "body" is composed of tattered rags, its hands have spindly, rotting fingers and its head has withered hair and a flatly terrifying face. The [animatronic monster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashers-horror-house) is motion-activated, jumping out whenever it detects a person passing by. Its head and arms flail at the same time, further amplifying the terror. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Interactive Halloween Decorations:** Creating animatronic props that engage with trick-or-treaters, elevating the scare factor. - **Motion-activated Props:** Developing decorations that can detect movement and react accordingly, enhancing the surprise element. - **Realistic Halloween Displays:** Advancing the quality of props to create lifelike and terrifying Halloween decorations. ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** Innovating scare attractions and haunted houses with interactive and realistic animatronics. - **Event Planning:** Offering clients a memorable and spine-tingling experience through the integration of motion-activated props at Halloween events. - **E-commerce:** Providing a platform for selling high-quality, lifelike Halloween decorations that incorporate state-of-the-art technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spooky Life-Size Animatronics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-character.md) - [Seafaring Animatronic Halloween Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowes-halloween-2024-collection.md) - [Spooky Pop-Up Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-halloween-2024.md) - [Family-Friendly Halloween Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oriental-trading.md) - [Candy Collector Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airheads-decoy-boy.md) - [Spooky Dessert Halloween Decorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-spider-donut-inflatable.md) - [Creepy Severed Hand Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-thing.md) - [Adorable Inflatable Halloween Characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gemmy-industries.md) - [Haunted Winchester Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haunted-winchester-house.md)
