Alien Incubator Animatronic | Distortions Unlimited

Distortions Unlimited showcases their Alien Incubator, a professional-grade pneumatic animatronic built around a sci-fi horror theme. In ambient mode the prop runs LED lighting and audio, then when triggered, fog floods the enclosure to hide the alien before it lunges forward in a jump scare. A built-in spitter can blast water or air at guests to heighten the sensory impact. The piece is designed to pair with Distortions' Xenovore animatronic for a cohesive alien scene in haunted attractions or Halloween events.
