The Midnight Countess was an animatronic sold by Spirit Halloween for the 2009 Halloween season. It resembled a vampire countess with red hair, dressed in white, holding a candelabra. When activated, the head turned as the eyes and candelabra lit-up, while the mouth moved to several phrases. Additionally, the back of the candelabra featured a blue LED that shined on the countess' face.
