Spook season is arriving early, and Spirit Halloween is already preparing to liquidate your disposable income and your peace of mind. They’ve officially announced two new additions to their upcoming lineup, perfectly balancing “abysmal sci-fi bleakness” with “deeply unsettling nursery rhyme energy.”
Whether you want to transform your yard into a radioactive wasteland or let a toddler in footie pajamas threaten your neighbors, here is your breakdown of the new scares hitting the shelves.
1. The Doomsday Duo (Item# 05020623)
The Lore: A Nuclear Mother’s Love
Forget standard ghosts and ghouls; Spirit went full psychological body-horror for this one. The Doomsday Duo’s story features a world-renowned 5-foot-7 scientist who became so aggressively obsessed with doomsday prepping that she drove herself to her own madness. Naturally, she decided to skip the waiting period and end the world herself.
Using her insider access at a local power plant, she triggered a meltdown, picked up her son from school early, and sat with him to watch the blast decimate their hometown. As the radioactive blast hit, she felt nothing but sweet, sweet relief, pulling off her gas mask to let the glowing green chemicals ooze all over her face. You know, just standard, wholesome family bonding.
Features & Jump-Scare Mechanics
-The Mask Reveal: Upon activation, the animatronic’s hands slowly pull their gas masks away to reveal their horribly mutated, glowing green faces.
-Radioactive Glow: The eyes and faces are heavily illuminated with toxic green LEDs.
-Storage Friendly: Comes with a slide-out repacking tray, because radioactive mutants need to be put away nicely after November 1st.
Bone-Chilling Audio Playlist
This lovely mother-son pair cycles through four incredibly heavy, depressing, and raspy voice lines accompanied by labored breathing:
“[Gasps/Heavy breathing] I think… we’re finally safe now. Let’s smell the fresh air…”
“[Crying/Panicked breathing] I know, darling, my face feels funny too… let’s try and take off the masks…”
“We’ll be okay now… baby, no need to worry anymore. There’s no one left to hurt you.”
“[Raspy crying] We left them all behind. It’s time to… enjoy the world we created.”
Haunter’s Note: Keep this pair in a covered area or indoors. Mutated skin doesn’t do well in rain, and please don’t hang extra weight on them. They’re carrying enough generational trauma as it is.

2. Harvey Carvey (Item# 05020631)
The Lore: The Toddler Terror
Move over, Thanos. Step aside, Joker. There’s a new supervillain in town, and he’s wearing a fleece onesie.
Harvey Carvey started with standard superhero aspirations, but quickly realized that doing good doesn’t pay the bills—and wreaking havoc is just objectively more fun. While tearing up a local pumpkin patch, Harvey, who stands at 4 feet 4 inches tall, shoved a hollowed-out jack-o’-lantern onto his head, and a legendary villain persona was born. Beneath that cozy exterior beats the heart of a certified monster whose fiery, LED-lit pumpkin skull is fueled entirely by malice.
Standing at 4 feet 4 inches tall, this diminutive threat stalks his prey with a haunting, child-like voice, holding a wicked knife in one hand and a wooden spoon in the other. (Because a true mastermind knows you need a spoon to scoop out the brains first.
Features & Jump-Scare Mechanics
-Slasher Movements: His arms slowly lift the knife and spoon up and down while his head tilts side-to-side, casting an eerie yellow LED glow from his carved face.
-Speedy Assembly: A deceptively simple 10-minute build time means less time reading instructions and more time plotting.
Bone-Chilling Audio Playlist
When activated, Harvey emits unsettling child laughter and humming before cycling through four terrifying phrases:
-
“I know my AABCs.. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I… scooped all my brains out. Come closer, and you’ll see!”
-
“Do you like my face? I carved it myself… and now I think it’s time to carve yours!”
-
“I’ve got my knife and my spoon ready… but not all of them are pumpkins. Some of them scream. Some of them bleed. Some of them… look just like you!”
-
“It looks like someone forgot to put their knife away… that’s too bad for you! I carve more than pumpkins!”
Harvey is strictly an indoor or covered-porch kind of monster (spot clean only). Do not weigh his arms down with extra props—he’s already emotionally fragile.
