A colored version of a dream sketch I posted on Tumblr a while back.
I dreamed I was shopping at a Spirit Halloween Store, trying to buy a plastic chain to use for a costume (I forgot exactly what- I think I was going to use it as a whip or something?). As I made my purchase, the guy behind the register said “oh, by the way, our Haunted House is finally open again if you’re interested” and gestured towards a nearby wall where a massive decorated archway stood, all lit up like a circus tent with the words “HAUNTED HOUSE!” in big orange and black letters.
From behind a striped curtain came the sound of calliope music, along with several animatronic werewolf heads on long, flexible necks of segmented black rubber that stretched out from behind the curtain. All of them had glowing orange eyes and mouths sharp teeth and flapping, drooling tongues. The central head wore an orange-and-black-striped top hat. The werewolves all growled and snapped and laughed like hyenas, before looking right at me with manic grins. In snarling, semi-sing-song voices, they all spoke in unison: “The greatest show you’ve ever seen! Come on inside! IT’S HALLOWEEN!”
All the heads then ducked behind the curtain, and I followed them in. I ended up in a tiny, dark room just barely lit by the light shining through the curtains behind me, the music falling silent before being replaced by more of the werewolves’ cackling in the shadows. Out from the darkness, four of the werewolf heads sprung out and grabbed hold of my wrists and ankles with their sharp teeth, and immediately pulled off all my limbs at once, leaving my limbless torso to flop down onto the floor spraying blood and confetti from my stumps (yeah I was filled with confetti for some reason).
The last thing I remember is the “lead” werewolf head laughing maniacally as the other heads played tug-of-war with my arms and legs, before he dove straight at my stomach and behind messily feasting on my guts. I woke up as he was halfway through pulling my intestines out.
Oddly enough, even though I had been horrifically disemboweled and literally torn limb from limb, all I felt was mild disappointment that the haunted house had ended so soon.

In my mind they're more of a supernatural cybernetic predator, something that latches onto common halloween hotspots (costume shops, carnivals, trick or treat neighborhoods, etc) and lure people in with promises of halloween fun only to devour them once they're inside. Sometimes they simply eat you as soon as you walk in, but when they lure in small groups of people, or they just want to have some sick fun with their prey, they reshape the interior to further sell the illusion that they're a harmless haunted house.
You walk in and it seems like a pretty standard haunted house attraction, albiet one that seems far larger and higher-quality than you'd think this venue could afford. You might walk through a sprawling mansion, an ancient castle, a gloomy cemetary in a dark forest- whatever they think would be the most entertaining for you. All the while these heads occasionally spring out from around corners or from inside containers that seem far too small to fit them, cackling madly and delivering some corny, but increasingly sinister sing-song rhymes, ushering you further and further in. Eventually, someone in your group will say they want to leave or they're getting bored. The werewolves seem to oblige... only to grab your friend in their teeth and drag them into the darkness, their screams cut off by a wet crunching noise and a horrible mechanical laugh.
After that, all pretense is dropped. Perhaps you and your group are picked off by hidden booby traps, or are hunted down one by one as you desperately run through the labyrinth, all the while being taunted by their mocking rhymes and deafening laughter. They will claim there's an exit that will take you back home, if only you could reach it... but like everything else they sing about, it's a lie. You were doomed to be their prey the moment you stepped through those curtains.

Gosh, that's definitely dark XD But I really do like it! So they wouldn't "truly" be robots, but more of a supernatural illusion of harmless scary animatronic heads that would lure you into their shapeshifting haunted house to trap and devour?
Though if not, it definitely brings into question how complex their mechanisms would be for shifting around the interior or moving all of the heads around properly!
