What this video covers
Poison Props presents the Drop Thru Ceiling Santa, a plug-and-play pneumatic animatronic designed for haunted house installations. The character conceals itself above a distressed ceiling panel adorned with Christmas lights, then dramatically thrusts its torso downward through the opening with a turning head and flailing arms. The complete package includes the character, ceiling panel unit, pneumatics, a programmed controller, motion sensor, and a full audio package with digital player, powered speaker, and scream effect. The large ceiling panel mounts atop standard maze walls and requires meaningful clearance above it for the mechanism to operate.
Key takeaways
- ◆Full plug-and-play system — no custom programming or pneumatic assembly required
- ◆Torso thrusts down through a pre-built rotted ceiling panel for a dramatic startle scare
- ◆Ceiling panel is approximately 48″ wide × 90″ long and needs roughly 43″ of clearance above it
- ◆Includes motion sensor, programmed controller, and a complete audio package out of the box
- ◆Character heads and figures can be swapped onto other Poison Props mechanisms to match different themes
Who this is for
Haunted attraction operators and serious home haunters looking for a high-impact, ready-to-run pneumatic ceiling drop scare with minimal setup.
⚠ Safety notes
Requires 100 PSI compressed air supply and AC power. Unit ships freight and mounts on top of maze walls; ensure structural support is adequate for ceiling panel dimensions and pneumatic operation.
