The Dead Lift Zombie was an animatronic sold by Spirit Halloween for the 2009 Halloween season. It resembled a zombie torso wearing a bloody gray suit with a black tie, rising out of the ground. When activated, he rose up and turned his head from side to side as his eyes lit-up to zombie groaning, bell tolling, and the word "Brains!”
Spirit Halloween’s Description[]
"The man in the gray suit is trying to climb out of Hell watch out! This prop is bound to scare your guests. It has fake blood all over it and it screams out "Brains!" as it rises from the grave! Whatever you do, don't make eye contact with it!"
- The life-size Animated Dead Lift Zombie rises from the ground to a a full 42" height. The sound activated figure has red light-up eyes and his head turns from side to side as he rises.

- The latex used for Dead Lift Zombie's hands and head is extremely prone to dry rot, commonly forming cracks.
