What this video covers
GMHaunts examines whether a professional Halloween company — apparently ScareFactory — used AI to design animatronics for their 2025 catalog, exploring what that means for the haunt industry. The creator shares their personal take, reviews the catalog in question, and presents results from a community poll on the topic. The video also touches on AI being integrated directly into animatronic technology itself, broadening the discussion beyond just design aesthetics.
Key takeaways
