Clawing Cathy Animated Halloween Prop

What this video covers

Clawing Cathy is an animated half-torso Halloween prop from FrightProps featuring a female monster character that appears to claw toward victims. Built on a sturdy metal frame, she sports a rigid PVC head and hands with light-up eyes, sound effects, and motorized head and mouth movement. Activation is handled via an infrared sensor, with multiple operating modes and a included step pad for easy trigger placement. She pairs well with a fog machine for added atmosphere, though that accessory is sold separately.
