If you’ve watched Netflix’s Squid Game, you’ll know the name Young-hee. This eerie, larger-than-life schoolgirl doll introduced millions of viewers to the unforgettable game of Red Light, Green Light — and instantly became one of the most chilling icons of modern horror television.
Now, Spirit Halloween has reimagined Young-hee as a 9.5-foot animatronic, capturing the same unsettling presence that froze contestants in fear.
A Towering Presence
Standing at nearly ten feet tall, this animatronic looms just as ominously as her on-screen counterpart. The sculpting is screen-accurate, with haunting facial details and her signature outfit. At this size, Young-hee isn’t just décor — she’s a full-scale centrepiece designed to dominate any space.
Motion and Sound Effects
What sets this animatronic apart are its interactive features. When activated, Young-hee sings her haunting melody, the same tune that marked the start of Red Light, Green Light in the series. Her head slowly rotates backwards before turning forward again, while her eyes dart from side to side in unsettling patterns. These combined effects make the figure feel eerily alive — a perfect recreation of one of Squid Game’s most tense moments.
Spirit Halloween Exclusive
Produced by Party Time Latex Art and Crafts Factory, this piece is a Spirit Halloween exclusive for 2025. That exclusivity, combined with its massive scale and moving features, makes Young-hee one of the most unique animatronics Spirit has ever released. While it’s currently a store display exclusive, fans and collectors alike have been flocking to see it in person.
Why Young-hee Works as Horror
Part of what made Squid Game such a phenomenon was the way it mixed childhood games with deadly stakes. Young-hee embodies that unsettling contrast. She looks innocent at first glance, but her cold stare and mechanical movements remind us of the brutal outcome for those who failed to obey the rules. Spirit’s animatronic taps directly into that blend of nostalgia and terror — a perfect conversation starter for horror fans.
