This Massive Animatronic Pennywise Prop is Truly Terrifying

Published

Over in St. Louis, this year’s TransWorld’s Halloween & Attractions Show kicked off yesterday, running through the weekend. What is TransWorld, you ask? Well, it’s the only trade show of its kind in the world, dedicated entirely to the haunted house industry. A place for haunted house proprietors to hang out, get ideas and purchase products.

One of the companies displaying their products at TransWorld this year is Unit 70 Studios, a company known for selling incredible animatronic props to haunted houses across the country. As they note on their website, “From severed human heads to demon horse skeletons and 12″-tall animated mutants, we make great horror props!

Easily the show-stealer of the entire event this year is Unit 70’s animatronic Pennywise, based on last year’s film. A massive animated Pennywise clutches an armless, screaming Georgie in his hand, swinging him around like a rag doll and making sinister noises.

Now THIS is what nightmares are truly made of.

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
