The Sitting Scare Clown, also known as Bobo the Clown, was an animatronic sold by Spirit Halloween for the 2017 and 2018 Halloween seasons. It resembled a clown with a black and white clown suit, red hair, and red shoes. When activated, the head popped up, as "SURPRISE!" could be heard.

Trivia[]
- A Try Me Button would've been placed in Sitting Scarecrow and this animatronic's bowl, but wouldn't be plugged into them. The reasoning for this was to have them activate by sensor to scare customers. The majority of the stores did this but not all of them.
- The animatronic was brought back for the 2018 Halloween season, but was displayed on its own in most stores.
- The paint job on the 2018 model had more black shading compared to the 2017 model.
- In 2018, the animatronic was featured on "Halloween Gadgets: 'Tech or Treating' With Elizabeth Werner" from The View.
- The cackle the clown makes when he lowers his head was reused from the Sitting Scarecrow.
