Description[edit]
Animatronic things are often quite unnerving for they suggest life when no life exists. The sheer cost to make and mechanics involved makes them quite a rare occurrence, therefore often confining them to films and high budget TV (the lower the budget the increased probability that a human operated puppet be used (see Lazy Town). So their seemingly magical existence makes them suitable for childrens entertainment, and therefore perfect for recontextulisation as representing alien menance (anal probes etc) and other modern life horror of a deeply disturbing kind.
