We know that sometimes our beloved props and animatronics can be a little… temperamental. Whether it’s a jaw that won’t move, eyes that won’t light, or sensors that seem possessed, this is the place to ask your questions and get help.
This thread is a central hub for troubleshooting — a spot where you can:
- Post any issues or doubts you’re having with your animatronics.
- Share fixes that worked for you (big or small!).

- Get input directly from product specialists who will pop in with advice and support.
No question is too small or too spooky! 🕸️ Whether you’re new to Halloween decorating or a seasoned haunter with a garage full of ghouls, your voice is welcome here.
👉 How to use this thread:
- Describe your issue in as much detail as possible (model name, what you’ve tried so far, etc.).
- Attach photos or short clips if you can — it helps a lot!
- Check back often; fellow haunters and specialists will chime in with suggestions and solutions.
Let’s keep this fun, helpful, and community-driven. Together, we’ll make sure your monsters, skeletons, and witches rise from the dead in time for the big night! 🦇💀
Happy Haunting,

I purchased the Bobby Strings animatronic from Spirit Halloween last year. We only used it for a few hours while handing out candy since he's delicate. We put him away in the box and this year he doesn't work. When I touch the control board I get a little static and his jaw moves once when initially plugged in. Any advice? I can't seem to find his control box on the svi website.
