Poison Props showcases their CL940 Crypt Lunger, a dramatic pneumatic animatronic in which crypt doors burst open to reveal a ghoul that drops to all fours before lunging upward to a full 7-foot standing height with animated arms and head movement. The unit ships as a plug-and-play system, including the tombstone rig, character, pneumatics, a pre-programmed controller, and a motion sensor. An optional sound package adds a digital player and powered speaker. Characters are interchangeable across Poison Props mechanisms, giving buyers flexibility to match any haunt theme.

PoisonProps showcases the GD934 Grave Digger 3, a fully pneumatic animatronic figure designed for graveyard-themed haunts and dark rides. The character performs a fluid sequence: raising a lantern with a bending elbow motion while the torso rotates side to side and leans forward for an eerie, searching effect. The package ships with the character, shovel, pneumatic hardware, a pre-programmed controller, and a motion sensor — everything needed to drop it into a scene. Characters can also be swapped onto the mechanism for custom builds.

Poison Props showcases their MTG915 Mummy Torso Grabber, a wall-mounted pneumatic animatronic designed for haunted houses and dark rides. The half-torso figure is suspended by chains, and when triggered, the head lifts and sweeps side to side while the arms lunge forward in a grabbing motion accompanied by a scream. The unit ships as a complete plug-and-play package including the character, chains, pneumatics, a pre-programmed controller, and a motion sensor. An optional sound package with a digital player and powered speaker is also available.
