Mummy Grabber - Lunging Mummy Prop

The Mummy Grabber is a professionally built animatronic haunt prop from FrightProps featuring a female mummy figure that begins in a dormant, head-down position before dramatically activating. On trigger, the head rises, arms spread wide, and the entire figure lunges forward several feet via a scissor extension mechanism. The combination of sequential upper-body movement and the sudden forward surge creates a highly effective multi-stage scare.
