The Masters of Mischeif
Lock, Shock, and Barrel are here to liven up your haunted festivities—with synchronized swaying, a catchy tune from The Nightmare Before Christmas, and just a hint of “we might be up to something.” These three trick-or-treat troublemakers are ready to turn your display into a scene straight out of Halloween Town. And no, they don’t come with adult supervision. We checked.
Standing nearly four feet tall and just under four feet wide, they’re impossible to miss—and they like it that way. Whether you’re going full Jack Skellington or just want to add some musical mischief to your décor, this trio hits the spooky-silly sweet spot.
Design & Details
This officially licensed animatronic features a metal frame, creepy plastic heads, and polyester outfits that scream Tim Burton (but like, in the fun way). Their heads sway back and forth as they belt out a song from the movie, making them the perfect life-size centerpiece for your Halloween setup—or your daily living room musical, no judgment.
The built-in volume control, off switch, and step pad-compatible “Try Me” mode make it easy to cue up their performance exactly when (and how loudly) you want it. Great for indoor use or covered outdoor areas, but don't let them get wet unless you're prepared for some soggy scheming. And if you’re outside the U.S., you may need an adapter to plug these little gremlins in.
Triple the Trouble, Quadruple the Fun
Set the tone with Lock, Shock, and Barrel—because nothing brings a yard to life quite like three pint-sized pranksters singing their spooky little hearts out. They’re spooky, they’re stylish, and frankly, they’re kind of the stars of your Halloween scene now.
Questions & Answers
Q: Do you offer for additional fee any warranty on outdoor props?
(1 Answer)
Asked by Lisa | July 28, 2026
Monster Responds...
We don't offer an additional warranty fee program for this prop or our other animatronics. The price shown covers the item itself, and that's the full purchase.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: Can this be displayed outdoors? (1 Answer)
Asked by Anonymous | July 28, 2026
Monster Responds...
Yes, this animatronic can be used outdoors as long as it's in a covered location and kept dry. It does need to be plugged into a GFCI outlet when used outside.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: Hi, what is the depth of this item?
(1 Answer)
Asked by kemilan | July 9, 2026
Monster Responds...
We have the height at 48 inches tall and the width at 46 inches wide for this animatronic, but the depth isn't a measurement we have available. Those two dimensions should give you a solid sense of the space it will take up for your display planning.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: Is this water resistant? I wanted to put it in my front yard, but I’m afraid of it getting rained on. Thanks (1 Answer)
Asked by Sandra | August 26, 2025
Monster Responds...
This one shouldn't be left out in the open where rain can reach it. We specifically recommend using it indoors or in a covered outdoor spot, and it shouldn't be allowed to get wet. A covered porch or patio would work great, but an open front yard leaves it exposed to the elements.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: Can these be left outside and get wet? (1 Answer)
Asked by Anonymous | August 23, 2025
Monster Responds...
This animatronic is designed for covered outdoor locations only and should never be allowed to get wet. If you do set it up outside, it also needs to be plugged into a GFCI outlet for safe operation.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: Hi on the ad in the search engine it says $255 for the first order? But when I add to cart it’s $399.00? (1 Answer)
Monster Responds...
The price shown on the product page is what you'd pay at checkout. Search engine ads sometimes pull a cached or promotional figure that doesn't reflect the current price, so the page is always the accurate one to go by. This Lock, Shock, and Barrel animatronic is a big piece at 48 inches tall and 46 inches wide, with three moving heads and a song from the movie built in.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: What is the size of this item in it's box? Basically curious how much room it takes up in storage. I am curious about a number of these animatronics. (1 Answer)
Asked by Dave | August 16, 2025
Monster Responds...
The assembled dimensions are 48 inches tall and 46 inches wide, but this animatronic ships disassembled with the heads, hands, lower body pieces, and frame all packed separately, so the box will be considerably more compact than that. We don't have the exact box dimensions on hand, so comparing your available storage space against that 48 by 46 inch footprint when fully built is the best reference point for planning.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: This was 249 last week and now it’s 299 this week. Prices go up as we get closer to Halloween? I guess I do it (1 Answer)
Asked by Anonymous | August 5, 2025
Monster Responds...
The price shown is what it is today, and that's what you'd pay at checkout. What I can tell you is this is a pretty spectacular piece: all three of Lock, Shock, and Barrel together, 48 inches tall and 46 inches wide, with moving heads and a song from the movie. It's an officially licensed exclusive, so if it's calling your name, it's only available here.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: Does it play the full song? If not. what part of the song does it play?
(1 Answer)
Asked by David | August 4, 2025
Monster Responds...
Our copy tells us it sings a song from the movie, but doesn't specify whether it plays the full song or just a portion of it. What we do know is that it has a volume control and can be triggered by the step pad or the try-me button, so you have good control over when and how it plays.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: Can these be used outside if rain is at a minimum being in Southern California?
(1 Answer)
Asked by Sue | July 28, 2025
Monster Responds...
This animatronic is designed for covered outdoor use, so a dry Southern California setup should work well as long as it stays protected from any moisture. It should not be allowed to get wet, so even light rain means bringing it under cover. You'll also need to plug it into a GFCI outlet when using it outside.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: Are they motion activated?
Can sound be turned off while motion continues? (1 Answer)
Can sound be turned off while motion continues? (1 Answer)
Asked by Debbie | July 28, 2025
Monster Responds...
The step pad activates the animatronic, so it is motion activated in that sense. As for your second question, the volume control lets you turn the sound down, and there is a separate off switch, but our copy describes these as a combined control set rather than independent sound and motion switches, so we can't confirm that the motion runs while sound is fully silenced.(AI Generated Answer)

You can absolutely use this animatronic outside, with two conditions to keep it safe and running great. It needs to stay in a covered location where it won't get wet, and it must be plugged into a GFCI outlet when used outdoors.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: Are they waterproof so I don't have to keep them on my front porch?
(1 Answer)
Asked by Victoria | July 16, 2025
Monster Responds...
These guys need to stay dry, so the front porch works only if it's fully covered and they won't get rained on. They're rated for covered outdoor spots but shouldn't be allowed to get wet, and any outdoor use requires a GFCI outlet nearby.(AI Generated Answer)
Q: Does it come with an adapter? For the US folk (1 Answer)
Asked by JaxL | July 16, 2025
Monster Responds...
No adapter needed for US use. The plug on this item is designed for standard US outlets, so you're all set to plug it in and let Lock, Shock, and Barrel start singing.(AI Generated Answer)
Reviews
Customers Say
Most reviewers are happy to finally have Lock, Shock, and Barrel animatronics for their Nightmare Before Christmas displays, praising their appearance, movement, and sound quality. Common criticisms include the motor being noticeably loud, only having one audio track, no lighting feature, and being smaller than the advertised 4 feet, with several noting the price feels high for what you get.(AI Generated Review Summary)
- Loud!!!By Butters | October 1, 2025
Motor is very loud for an indoor decoration! Won’t be turning in much! . I tried to upload a video, won’t let me! Also… had to add many extra hooks to prevent this from getting itself jammed and freezing which stopped motion! DO NOT RECOMMEND!Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? - SO SO NEEDS IMPROVENTSBy NIGHTMARE FANATIC | August 17, 2025
I wish they were lighted or glowed in the dark, at least these their faces or something. They only have one saying also and they all are not 4ft tall which is ok but should be stated in description , more like 3ft. Overall it is ok needs a bit of work and improvement such as a lighting affect and one more saying at least.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? - TammyBy A must have for NBC collection | October 7, 2026
If your doing NBC display these are a must, now I need a background, I got them a big red bag to kidnap Santa as they sing about that, they seem to work as intended, the only thing is barrel is in front and he should have some legs attached to his feet and I do t like you can see the sound box from the front under shocks dress but minor things otherwise Happy with my purchase and shipping was fast.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? - twoStarsBy Lydia Deetz | September 7, 2025
Poor Quality for the price tag. The faces are cheaply airbrushed. I'm not sure how they will handle in wet weather due to the fabric clothing and the mechanical design. Maybe this is just meant to be in the house.
The song played has good quality sound but you can hear to mechanics.
I have a collection of animatronics but this is my first time purchasing on this site, Never again!
But hey, for those 5 star givers, whatever floats your boat.
Not even sure this is disney or Burton approved, nothing on the box displaying so, knock off my guess.Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? -
Kidnap The Sandy Claws!By Kevin Croft | September 4, 2025
I absolutely love this year’s new additions to my NBC collection. For two years in a row, HalloweenCostumes has taken a bold leap with new and unique additions to this lineup, featuring Dr. Finkelstein and the Oogie Kids. The build for Lock, Shock, and Barrel was smooth and simple. I would have enjoyed more movement, but the simplicity of the attachments was effective. The song was cut short, but they chose the best line to make it worthwhile. Thank you for continuing to support Disney’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Please keep moving in this direction by bringing more characters from the film to life. My heart is set on seeing the Mayor, the Werewolf, or the Clown to expand the line. Don’t forget the 2 Witches or 3 Vampires too!Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you?Monster Responds...We're delighted that you enjoyed our 4FT Nightmare Before Christmas Animatronic Lock, Shock and Barrel Decoration ! Your review means a lot to us, and we want to express our gratitude for your time and effort in sharing your thoughts. It's always wonderful to witness our products bringing joy to you and others. Thank you once again for your review! - Four StarsBy Buckhorn haunts | August 20, 2025
Love that we finally have a lock, shock, and barrel figure. I wish they came with masks so cover the faces.
Pros. Love they all move their heads. Love they all fit in with the other figures I have (jack, sally, oogie boogie and finklestein). Love I could bend the arms so I could add objects in their hands. Arms also seem sturdy enough to hold objects. Love the singing. Assembly was pretty straightforward and joints have clips so they can't just come apart
Cons. Hate barrels face, so I had to put an old mask on him. Also barrels pants need to be a little bigger. Motor runs very loud and takes away from the singing. Need to hide the connecting rods better. Price is pretty high and wish they said different things.
All in all glad I have actual characters to go with my display. I have a pretty big display and should fit nicely.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? - Great addition to our NBC collection, but way overpricedBy Joseph Esquer | August 17, 2025
So, let me start off by saying that I am very happy to have Lock, Shock, and Barrel in our Halloween collection. They look great and from a distance actually look real. However, this is significantly overpriced. I paid a lot during preorder and noticed they are now even more, probably to offset the coupon they offer, which is shady tactics IMO. Nonetheless, this is equivalent to a lower priced animatronic at most in terms of value. To say this is the same price as my 13ft Jack Skellington animatronic is absolutely absurd. This is a very basic mechanical system, 3 plastic heads, and some cheap clothes that goes over and covers the metal rods. Overall, if your not worried about the money, I highly recommend getting this. If you are worried that the price is too much for what you are getting, it definitely is!Was this review helpful to you? - Kidnap Mr SandyclawsBy Nightmareonnutmeg | August 11, 2025
These are truly awesome and perfect for anyone's nightmare Before Christmas display.
Simple to assemble with clear instructions.
They're made by gemmy so any issues you will have good customer support.

Overall a cute display. I would say absolutely worth a little less or so….. I love it but would not pay as much as I did for this display. It’s just way way overpriced for the overall size (smaller than expected) and quality of the animation- the motor is very loud and distracts from their singing. And they are not lit up at all which is kind of a bummer.Was this review helpful to you? - Not what was expectedBy Twenty | September 22, 2026

I bought them when they were 400… why are the 300 now? Anyway… they are objectivley decent. Thier motor is mega loud but whatever. Thier paint was sort of trash but customer service helped me out with that. They i think are more of the 250 range but 300 isnt bad. They go perfectley with all the other characters.

I have been looking at this since the first year that it was released. I finally bought it on Orange Tuesday with the discount. It is so worth the price. While I have not displayed this yet and cannot attest to the durability it is awesome. I put it together as soon as it was delivered and it's better than what I thought it would be based on some of the reviews. Yes the motor is loud, but the volume is adjustable and you cannot hear the motor if you have the sound on. The heads look better that what I expected based upon a lot of the reviews that I read. I definitely recommend it of you are a NBC fan, you will not be disappointed.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? - ExcitedBy Monroe Ray | August 29, 2026

I have to say these are way cooler in person that’s for sure I love there audio and appearance and there animation as well they are going to look amazing with my other nightmare before Christmas collection as well I have always wanted these forever and I finally have them in my collection and they didn’t take forever to deliver as well which is shocking to be honest over all there really cool my only con is that there audio is cut way to short and should have played the full song but over all I love them so much and glad to have themBottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? - Five StarsBy MATT | October 13, 2025

These guys are really cute. A genious idea, I can't believe no one thought of this before. They look just like in the movie, however shock's hair on my animatronic started falling out immediately. And I wish they had more than just 1 audio track.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? - Really like, but not sureBy Melissa | August 29, 2025
I was a little suprised about the height. I assume the 4ft come from the hat. The sound box quality is really good, but mechanically it is decently loud. I also feel like a lot of the rods are overly exposed. The price point is a bit high for the item, but I couldn't help but to purchase it.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? -
Perfect, except…..By Michele | August 23, 2025
They are so cute, good loud sound but they don’t light up, a little worthless for nighttime display. Other than that they are coolBottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? - Smaller than advertisedBy Halloween Queen | August 22, 2025
Kids are cool but they are not 4 feet tall as advertised. More like 3 feet tall making their heads disproportionately larger than in the movie ( for those who appreciate realism) . Be great if they lit up and I may find way to insert lights within their little ghoulish heads.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? - Four StarsBy George | August 18, 2025
