Lost Media - Halloween Animatronic

One of my most niche interests is Halloween animatronics. Surprisingly, there is even a small community for this that tends to align with haunters- people that operate or work at haunted houses. An interesting rabbit hole to dive down is that, somehow, get lost. It's crazy to think how an entire robot goes missing, but it can happen for a variety of reasons, such as prototypes not being picked up or finished, props being unable to find a distributor (such as Spirit Halloween, Home Hardware, or other pop up Halloween shops), or so few being made due to high cost that they tend to wind up lost in some storage unit somewhere.

One of the most sought after animatronics appears to be the Face Ripper Crying Bride, which would be developed by Morbid Enterprises/Industries (unfortunately, this producer went bankrupt in 2020 and shut down, but you may know them as the people that made the prop infamously featured in the Russian Sleep Experiment photo.)

As the name suggests, the face ripper bride would have hands molded to her face, so as her head lifted it would appear as though she was ripping her face off. Very simple, yet very creepy, definitely would have traumatized me as a kid. So, here's a post dedicated to her.

Let's start with a demonstration of the prop's actions, which could be found with the matching Face Ripper Groom that was produced and sold!

A little bit more popular, a face ripper clown was made, and the only of the three to be sold at Spirit Halloween.

So, what happened to the bride?

Well, we're not entirely sure. We do know that she appeared in a catalogue magazine for the 2009 season, which is where the photos we have come from. That's about all we have. Supposedly a video of the prop in action existed at one point, uploaded by the distributor HalloweenAsylum, but was deleted likely due to the product not being released as planned. The original owner of Morbid said he has it in an email, but the password to the email was lost, so he can't access it.

There was a point where somebody on youtube claimed to have the audio files, however the op claims they were removed for termination, then states that they accidentally corrupted the files. The clean audios were up long enough for people to nab them, so we do know the supposed audio, if not a very good recreation of the audio. You can hear the alleged audio in this video. If you do seek the corrupted audios, be aware of a volume warning, as the audios are very high pitched and loud.

The validity of this audio is debated upon, as there are reasons for both sides. First starters, OP seems to be an archivist for rare Morbid audio. The quotes are faithful to the agreed memory that she says "I'll make him suffer for what he did to me", the audio having a spookier voice halfway through, and the way that it follows the same formula as the clown and groom. However, some people recall her having a Southern accent, which is missing here in the alleged videos of her audio. It's also strange that OP would have the high quality of just the audio from the Halloween Asylum video, only to lose it roughly a week later and somehow corrupt the audio. As well, cross referencing with Halloween Asylum's videos from 2009 to the high quality that was reuploaded by other users (such as the one in the link), makes me rule out that it's unlikely the audio is real. The videos posted by Halloween Asylum in 2009 are obviously not the best quality, far lower than that audio clip. Some demo videos have the audio completely replaced with music (likely props with no audio), while other demo videos have the lower quality sound of the prop as well as a lot of background noise from the store/setup (or wherever these videos came from). To isolate the animatronic's audio from a 2009 video so cleanly and somehow in higher quality would be a difficult task, there would likely have to be some artifacting in the audio. Even these days, isolating vocals from a modern song can prove difficult as you often still hear the surrounding audio. Plus, to lose 14 years of that very rare isolated audio in such high quality to corruption would be more devastating than OP seems to act in their video comments.

So, that's about all we have. Close leads, but not close enough to help us find her. I can only hope that she gets found soon, perhaps the prototypes from the catalogue or the Halloween Asylum video, she has a particular charm to her craving for vengeance.
