Unboxing: Spirit Halloween Teases New Line Of Animatronics With Graveyard

The splendid and spooky folks at Spirit Halloween sent us a mystery surprise! When I opened the cardboard box, I found a big wooden box with “Spirit Hallows Cemetary” carved on its lid. I was surprised when I opened it to discover a miniature graveyard and a small shovel. I found a plastic pull, and it opened, revealing a dirt-filled grave. I dug up a casket. Inside I found a vampire, which is a magnet, wrapped up in bloody rags.
