What this video covers
FrightProps showcases their Animated Hanging Bat, a life-sized, self-contained animatronic prop that features a randomly turning head driven by a pre-programmed microcontroller — no air compressor required. The prop is hand-crafted in the USA by a special effects artist using a thick latex skin over a polyfoam core, with synthetic fur and hand-painted detailing for maximum realism. At approximately 16 inches in length, it ships with its own power supply, making setup straightforward out of the box.
