Not to be confused with the 2018 animatronic the Nightmare Harvester or the 2020 animatronic the Harvester of Souls.
The Harvester was an animatronic sold by Spirit Halloween for the 2011 to 2015 Halloween seasons. It resembled a scarecrow that wore a brown outfit filled with straw and a tattered black pointed hat and held a brown scythe. When activated, the head lifted up and turned while the eyes lit-up and the mouth moved to phrases.
