rating spirit halloween clowns again

speaking of spirit halloween,

i previously rated a bunch of spirit halloween clown costumes and now that its halloween times again im back at it again with animatronic clowns this time. they have a very nice pennywise as well but im only rating original clowns here

clowning around

a pretty good boy, i like his face and his spooky eyes, i always love a good monochrome clown but hes got this goofy country bumpkin accent im not really vibing with. he is VERY tall so i imagine he’s probably scarier in person though i have not had an opportunity to meet him. the screaming children are a unique touch but they kinda just look like floppy baby dolls if you look at them too closely. not a fan of anything that would cause whatever spooky attraction you’re making to have constant child screaming sounds playing, either, but, hes still a pretty good clown. hes also the only clown in this old timey monochrome style im seeing here so he gets props for that. 7/10

rotten ringmaster

i dont think clowns are usually ringmasters but points for creativity but then points lost again bc his face just looks so. generically creepy. he just looks boring to me. like hes trying to be pennywise but didn’t quite make it. this child victim looks slightly better than before but also has very very fake little cloth legs and mr ringmaster looks really weirdly proportioned from any other angle and not in a spooky way just in a Weird Bendy Way. 5/10, i dont really know why im so uninterested in this guy

cuddles the clown

look at this fucked up weirdo what am i even LOOKING at here. he looks like a clown made of nightmares and snakes. his fingers are just more clowns. i desperately want to see this thing in person i cannot get OVER this guy i cannot imagine this thing existing in physical space even with the video 10/10

mr salty

he acts like he’s flashing you only to reveal a very... particularly placed shorter clown. the little one’s name is willy. i do not like it at all 1/10 this gets one point for the fact that i like “surprise it’s TWO clowns” if this wasn’t designed Like That

i also can’t tell if they’re like, sharing the same pair of shoes or if they’re bizarre conjoined twin clowns or what the fuck is going on

fright in the box

I SAW THIS BOX EARLIER I DIDN’T KNOW THERE WAS A CLOWN IN IT i cant wait to go back and meet him. im not a big fan of jumpscare animatronics, though they are effective. i like that this guy doesnt seem to have any kind of body. he just looks like a spooky napkin. big beetlejuice vibes here i like him 7/10

tug-of-war

TWO OF THEM!!!

these guys are playfully fighting over a screaming child like brothers fighting over a teddy bear. the fact that they don’t move very fast or very violently makes it seem less threatening and more like they just want to play but are very bad at it which is endearing to me for some reason. i want to hang out with them. mostly im just trying to figure out what the fuck is happening with the right guy’s face though

what is going ON here. this might be among one of the weirdest clowns i have ever seen but hes so different and visually interesting i legitimately really like him. getting some strong jigsaw vibes from the other guy, i like him as well. i like his cute overalls. big fan of these guys. 10/10

waving wally

what a nice young man he doesnt jump out to scare you or threaten you hes just wavin. hi wally. he seems friendly i would hang out with him too. i like this one bc he has mostly pretty normal features/body proportions so he looks more believably like a regular guy instead of a Monster Clown Creature which i personally like a lot more. i like his empty void eyes a lot. not sure about the light up nose though. kind of a rudolph look going on there. i like his little hat. i dunno theres something very pleasant about wally hes simple and visually pleasing and he is my friend 10/10

crouchy

crouchy is such an unpleasant name and i feel like they coulda done better than just naming him after the position hes in but whatever. this guy’s a pretty generic monster clown, there’s not a lot of creativity going on here but if you want a nice monster clown for whatever occasion you need a monster clown for, he’s pretty good. he is VERY tall. the effect is pretty imposing in person, i met him last year. he doesn’t talk he just laughs. here to have a good time. 7/10

uncle charlie

look at this guy!!! i like him. i like his very spooky face combined with the big silly flower/etc. theres a nice jarring contrast there. kinda has almost the exact same head as crouchy though. he doesn’t jumpscare you either from what i can tell he just hangs out and looks ominous. hes my friend i like him 8/10

towering creepy clown

the description says his name is grimsli. i thought his neck ruffle was a bib at first. pretty generic but i like his noodly legs. 6/10 i feel like he may have been on display here last year too he looks familiar

peek-a-boo clown

he’s a clown, he’s spooky, he plays peekaboo. pretty straight forward. his movement is pretty smooth actually though. his outfit is hideous even by clown standards, but to the point i think it actually works for him somehow. his face looks more like a weird zombie than a clown to me but he DOES have rainbow swirly eyes so BIG props for that. 7/10

clown ferris wheel

LOOK AT THEM THEY’RE SO CUTE i love the ones with the empty soulless eyes. the fact that this doesn’t have any dialogue recorded or anything and the clowns just silently stare and spin around and around with a slightly off kilter circus tune looping makes it equally unsettling and hilarious. i legitimately want this thing. if i was rich and owned a house i would have this thing in my living room all year long and everyone who knows me would absolutely hate it. 10/10

also it doesnt look like they’re selling hugz the clown on their site right now which saddens me i hope he hasnt been discontinued :( i met him last year hes good and i like him as well

somes oc facts

Facts on the top of my head that i’ll share in a random order

• I planned to reveal this later, but i keep postponing that ONE drawing that this info goes along with. So screw it. Tobleron met Sundae when the latter was young, like 7-8. He wasn’t cared much by his parents, and was just- generally unhappy. So when Sundae saw that there was a circus in town, he figured it’d cheer him up, especially after being bullied by classmates. And that’s where he met Tobleron! He was MYSTIFIED by Tobleron’s clowning skills and bug-appearing powers; while the rest of the audience was terrified. So after the show was over, Sundae told Tobleron that ‘when he’d grow up, he’d like to be like him’... Tobleron having no concept of age/growing up, just kinda told him ‘what are you waiting for? I can totally hire you right now!’. So Tobleron just kinda illegally adopted/kidnapped Sundae; and the latter’s family never really cared.

•... but as i said, Tobleron has no concept of growing up, so... He kind of treated Sundae like he’d treat anyone else; he never ‘raised’ him. He only ever taught him clowning and creepy tricks. So Sundae just... Never noticed his growth/time passing, and never matured. He’s actually barely aware that he’s an adult... As bad as Tobleron is, he actually isn’t the one who taught Sundae to crawl on all fours, dig in people’s backyards, steal teeth etc. He just kind of develloped all this on his own. Tobleron honestly has mixed feelings over these... Why steal children teeth when you can just TAKE teeth? Why throw bugs at people when you can simply make them appear? ... they’re both just as bad as each other.

• Sazae is gay, and the kinda namekian that isn’t into sexual relationships. His boyfriend ‘requirements’ are for the man to be sliiightly stronger than Sazae himself, so they can have an healthy rivalry and improve each other’s strenghts. But if someone is attractive to Sazae but is much stronger than him, he’ll have zero positive feelings and just want to crush them.

• Liegois wants to get better at miming so he doesn’t have to talk to people anymore. Talking can be quite hard for him... He just isn’t good with words.

• Secchi actually makes more money than you think, despite being a freshwater sailor who has no house, and lives on his boat with little to no possesions. The hard-to-get creatures he fishes can be sold for quite a lot, and tend to be bought by rich fellows looking for fancy seafood. But he never uses that money for anything; he’s sastified with what he little he has.

• Secchi talks like a pirate sometimes, especially when he’s getting frustrated. Which is often. Fighting tough river creatures and being good at it kind of warps his expectations for some reason.

• In-universe, Tobleron is being VERY mysterious/vague with his past, and, everytine he’s asked, changes his story drastically. He even says straight up stupid things to people he believes are gullible (Sundae). But here’s his real story: Tobleron was a ringmaster in his past, but his circus was in Hell! So he was making horrific shows all the time, and his demon circus mates were just as horrifying as Tobleron himself. And Tobleron was so good, and his circus mates respected him so much, that they did some kind of ritual to make Tobleron get out of Hell, and spread his horrific talents over to the mortal world. And while he’s at it, find mortal people that go along with his creepy stuff, so that when they die, they can all go to Hell together, and have a even better horryfing circus!

• The only the ones will go to Hell with Tobleron are those who’re ok with his creepy way of managing the circus; so, so far only Sundae (but there are others! Soon, soon.) And they WILL go to Hell, but they won't die just like that; Tobleron wants to use his mortal circus crew until the very end (so until they're old/uncapacitated) and since Tobleron’s from the anime's version of hell where all the vilains are, the a river of blood and all that, Sundae won't be exactly upset, quite the contrary! He'd be super happy to be able to do creepy stuff and have other people enjoying it!!
