Changes: Spirit Clown Train

Latest revision as of 16:49, 27 May 2023

The Spirit Clown Train was one of the three themes created by Spirit Halloween for the 2013 Halloween season. The front of the theme 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 theme resembled two train carts, each with clowns strewn throughout.

Chester the Jester (if it was released in 2013)

Demonic Circus Clown (if it was released)
Misfortune Teller
Scary Clown Mirror
Silent & Deadly
Thrashing Clown
Wacky Mole Clown (2013)

Trivia

The prototype 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.
A common theory among Spirit Halloween fans is that the laughter that appears in the soundtrack for this theme and the in-store experience video is that of Jack the Reaper, the current mascot of Spirit Halloween.
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 (2013), 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 Misfortune Teller.
The Evil Toys Display was themed to match this theme, and was placed behind it in select locations.
In the official ISE video, the Scary Clown Mirror wasn’t even setup at the store at the time of filming.
