A $600 Stranger Things Demogorgon stands eight feet tall and weighs 226 pounds. This is an animated horror display, not a shelf collectible: the creature sways unsettlingly from side to side at the waist and plays sound effects from the series.
The Demogorgon animatronic listed on Amazon has details and sculpting described as realistic, along with a sturdy metal stand. You can adjust the volume and motion-sensor settings, then trigger the scare with the motion sensor’s try-me button or a step pad sold separately.
Getting the creature upright takes some work. It doesn’t arrive fully assembled or ready to use as-is: first, you build the metal stand, then slide the body parts onto it one at a time. The source article suggests watching an assembly video before buying to judge whether you’re up for the task, although it doesn’t provide a video link.
You can display the Demogorgon indoors or outdoors. For outdoor use, the source recommends plugging it into a GFCI outlet for safety. The included plug may also need an adapter outside the U.S.
Halloween has passed, but the source suggests using the prop as a centerpiece for a Stranger Things party or an alternative to traditional holiday decorations, turning the house into the supernatural world of Hawkins. Its writer welcomes seeing others recreate the Upside Down at home but firmly rules it out for their own place, even with Stranger Things in their regular rewatch rotation.
The source also discloses that it may earn advertising revenue from purchases made through its affiliate links, at no extra cost to the buyer.
Before bringing it home, there’s the practical question of where to put it: this moving, sound-producing decoration needs room, and you’ll have to assemble it body part by body part.
