I could listen to Grim Grinning Ghosts any time of the year, much to the chagrin of my family. So, I was more than excited to see that this year’s premium Halloween decore at Lowe’s included an animated singing Headless Knight!
The Knight, also known as Giovanni Jones, Galahad, or Fred (depending on which lore you read), stands 6′ tall and features details quite accurate to the audio-animatronic we see in The Haunted Mansion. Even his cape is present.
Sadly, the Singing Ghost is for indoor use only. Do you have room to recreate the famous graveyard scene in your house?
“Kick up the fright factor with the life-size Haunted Mansion Knight animated figure! This Halloween animatronic delivers the ultimate spooky experience for your guests and visitors. Perfect for Disney’s The Haunted Mansion fans, our animated Knight is dressed in his signature style and holds his talking head in his hand. The lantern lights up as he moves it side to side to the tune of “Grim Grinning Ghosts.” Our 6-FT Knight Halloween decor collapses for easy storage and includes everything needed for setup.“
The Knight will cost $299, but you’ll have to find him in stock. Like the items we saw at Spirit, resellers are nabbing up all the goods and putting them on eBay and Facebook Marketplace at laughably high markups. Thankfully, this exclusive spook can be ordered directly from Lowe’s website.
If The Haunted Mansion isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other (and more cost-effective) Disney decorations to choose from. These include a giant inflatable Mickey Mouse bat, Mickey and Minnie ghosts, Stitch in a skeleton costume, and vampire Mickey.
Oddly, Lowe’s didn’t have a single Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise. Typically, we see at least one piece as an inflatable, if nothing else. Not this year.
Did you see anything else weird in our pictures? Yeah, there is really a Squid Game inflatable and Batman holding a pumpkin. Why?!
