Rusty was an animatronic sold by Spirit Halloween for the 2019 Halloween season. It resembled a crazed man wearing a burlap mask and dirty overalls over black boots, holding a rusted chainsaw, likely its namesake. When activated, the arms raised with the chainsaw, as the head moved violently as laughter, screaming, and chainsaw noises could be heard.

Spirit Halloween's Description[]

“Rusty used to be friends with everyone in town and always helped out when someone asked, until one day he completely changed. His eyes went dark and he covered his face with a burlap mask. Instead of lending a hand, he chose to just sit all day. His bloody jumpsuit and rusted chainsaw told everyone that Rusty was no longer the person he once was, and everyone stayed far away. Now, he just waits for the next visitor who comes a little too close. Once a brave soul enters his sight, he pops up from his chair and revs his chainsaw as loud as he can. If you don’t run away fast enough, you could be his next victim!

The Rusty animatronic is able to sit on virtually any chair (not included) as he waits for people to come near. When they do, he pops up and shakes as he holds up his chainsaw that makes realistic revving sounds that are enough to scare away any unwanted visitor..”
