A creepy old carnival animatronic named “Solomon the Smiler”, built in the 1980s. A tall mechanical figure made of painted metal and fiberglass, wearing a faded red circus showman jacket with gold shoulder pads. His design looks handmade, not futuristic. His porcelain mask is cracked with a wide painted smile, showing simple gears and wires beneath. One glass eye glows faintly blue, the other is dark and broken. His movements are stiff and unnatural. One hand is covered by a torn white glove, the other is a rusty metal hand with simple hinges. The scene takes place in an abandoned fairground with broken lights, peeling paint, and fog. The style is cinematic horror but grounded in realism, low-tech and analog, like a haunted animatronic from the 1980s. See more
