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.
