Not to be confused with the 2023 version Menacing Molly (2023).
Menacing Molly was an animatronic sold by Spirit Halloween for the 2017 and 2018 Halloween seasons. It resembled a girl with a sinister-looking face, pale skin, black hair tied in braided pigtails, and sharp teeth. When activated, she rocked back and forth while speaking one of four phrases before bending backwards and revealing her face with glowing red eyes.
Spirit Halloween’s Description[]
“From the Tate Steinsiek Collection.
Who doesn’t love an innocent little girl on a swing? Sweet little Molly loves to sing and play with friends, but she has been playing on her swing for quite some time. Don't say we didn't warn you... For if you move too close to young Molly, you’ll scream in horror and she bends backward to reveal a twisted face and sinister laugh!
Spirit Halloween collaborated with award-winning special effects makeup artist, Tate Steinsiek for an exclusive, one-of-a-kind collection! Best known for the Syfy competition, Face Off, Tate was placed as the runner-up in Season 1 and 5. In addition, Tate won the “best of the Next in Horror” award at the Screamfest Awards.”
