Sure, this may seem like a lot to spend on a life-size clown you can never unsee, but consider that this prop can be motion activated, step-pad activated or just set to be twitching 24/7. It can detect movement from up to 10 feet away. Once the prop is assembled and plugged in, its eyes light up and its mouth moves, letting out a haunting cackle over a background of hair-raising circus music while it jerks like a clown possessed.Â
