The Black & Red Jumping Spider, also known as the Red and Black Jumping Spider, is an animatronic sold by Spirit Halloween since the 2020 Halloween season. It resembles a large black and red spider resting in a web. When activated, the spider jumps upward as the eyes light-up and spider noises can be heard.
