Hugz the Clown, alternatively known as Hugz the Lunging Clown,
is an animated halloween prop made in 2018. It is a clown with purple hair, sharp teeth, and a jumpsuit with half black and white stripes and half purple polka dots. He also wears a bloody sign around his neck that reads 'FREE HUGZ'. When activated, the demented Clown utters a scary phrase as his eyes glow and mouth moves, and soon lunges forward at his victim.
