The Grandfather Clock, also known as the Haunted Grandfather Clock, was an animatronic that was going to be sold by Spirit Halloween for the 2014 Halloween season. However, it was turned down for an unknown reason. It resembled a tall grandfather clock with sun and moon designs on the cabinet. When activated, the pendulum swung to ticking followed by the clock face opening to reveal a skull whose mouth moved to several phrases as the eyes lit-up and a green light shined on the skull.
