Haunted Hill props are pretty bad quality to begin with, I cannot imagine those rated for indoor usage surviving outdoors. More on reddit.com

You'll find a few things at home improvement places like Home Depot and Lowe's, but (and I kinda hate to say this) the Spirit Halloween pop ups are gonna likely have a wider, more diverse selection than anyone else. TBH, I've never found the quality of any of these to be worth what they are charging. Most of them are made from cheap PVC and plastic masks with low powered motors and THE WORST speakers money can buy. You'll be lucky if anything you buy lasts more than a couple years. Lowe's did actually start selling a few pneumatic props (sans compressor) this year, but the build quality is otherwise about the same. Depending on your budget, you might want to go directly to the distributors' online presence or browse around Amazon for stuff that's built to last, rather than the impulse buy animatronics Spirit sells.

My theory is that they are catering to a younger audience. It seems to be purposeful that even the scary looking props don’t have scary phrases. I think they want the little kids to be excited to come see them, not run away screaming. I wish they would still make at least one a year to be the scary one, even if they didn’t set it up in store.

Dude, you better hope those things hold up for a few years, because from my own experience the money I dumped on animatronics would have been better spent on something more versatile. Mine took a shit after one Halloween season. More on reddit.com
