Spirit Halloween Wikia

The Spirit Clown Train was an In-Store Experience created by Spirit Halloween for the 2013 Halloween season. The front of the ISE resembled a giant clown archway that could be walked through underneath. The clown face in the arch had sharp teeth and swirl-filled eyes. The back of the ISE resembled two train carts, each with clowns strewn throughout.

Trivia[]

  • One of the prototypes of the clown archway featured fuzzy hair instead of printed.
  • The Demonic Circus Clown, made by Gemmy Industries, was originally planned to be in the place of Wacky Mole, but Wacky Mole was ultimately chosen instead.
  • Though the flagship location placed the LED Blue Spot Light on Bloody Bag of Jokes, the LED Red Spot Light and LED White Spot Light on Dead Humor, and the LED Green Spot Light on Silent & Deadly, which can be seen in the ISE manual and video. These were not the correct placements besides the white on Dead Humor.
    • The correct placements were the LED Green Spot Light on Bloody Bag of Jokes, LED White Spot Light on Dead Humor, and LED Blue Spot Light on Silent & Deadly.
  • This ISE celebrated the 30-year anniversary of Spirit Halloween.
  • The eyes of the clown archway could actually spin in a spiral, however, some stores kept the motor off.
  • Several UV Blacklights were positioned overtop Wacky Mole Clown, Thrashing Clown, and Scary Clown Mirror to demonstrate how they glow under black light.
  • Some stores would put the animatronic boxes in front of the Train Carts, while others put them to the side of the Carts.
  • Stores with smaller versions of this ISE didn't feature The Misfortune Teller.
  • The Evil Toys Display was themed to match this ISE, and was placed behind it in select locations.
  • In the official ISE video, the Scary Clown Mirror wasn’t present at the store at the time of filming.
