Robot Skeleton: Halloween Edition

This is the Fergybot4000. He is my version of Geoff Peterson, the robot skeleton sidekick from "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson".

In this video, I have programmed my robot for employment during the upcoming Halloween season. I plan to have him in a Grim Reaper costume which he is not wearing now while I fiddle some more with the mechanics. He will be standing on my front porch waiting for trick-or-treaters to arrive...and when they do, the fun begins!

Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

All I have to do is push a button on his remote control and one of his twenty-five phrases will be spoken along with random arm and head movements. Each phrase gets a turn being spoken before cycling. I can also independently control body movements as well as the random ones generated in this video.

Have a look and tell me what you think in the comments. Enjoy!

List of phrases:
1) Please watch your step as you leave. I left a few dead bodies lying around out there.
2) I hope that jack-o-lantern you smashed wasn't anybody I knew.
3) Did you hear that noise? It came from over there.
4) I am dead. What are you supposed to be?
5) Sticks and stones will break my bones, but that's not going to stop me.
6) Are you not the same children that I ate last year?
7) You will see me again...in your dreams.
8) Candy is dandy, but lightning id frightening.
9) Dracula and Frankenstein are my neighbors. Who lives around here?
10) I am hungry. Will somebody get me some witch's brew?
11) Can I have some of your candy?
12) If I really scare you tonight, just wait until school tomorrow.
13) Yay! More victims...I mean, visitors.
14) Ancient spirits of evil are no match for your parents.
15) Do not be afraid. I only get mad when people ask me for candy.
16) I ate zombies for breakfast and I'll eat you for dinner.
17) Which one of you is volunteering for the sacrifice?
18) Have many of your friends mysteriously disappeared this evening?
19) My skin is crawling...and it's coming to get you!
20) Must have brains! It's a shame yours are not available.
21) You are so frightening, I jumped out of my skin.
22) You are the only thing scarier than me.
23) It's nice to get out of the coffin every once in a while.
24) Be warned! At the stroke of midnight, I will turn into a human.
25) Trick or treat? Are you sure there aren't any other options?

Is this Geoffs brother?

[tzankoff]

@jbfirstdown22 I classify him as a "distant relative" so that you get to invent whatever ambiguous relation scenario that you want to.

@LOveJ3nn Thanks!

Very well done! Some of the phrases seem to be said too fast -- it's hard to understand him on occasion.

[tzankoff]

@scott56239 Thanks! I do need to work on the voice a bit. For now, I got him to say what I want, but I will be adjusting the speed and some of the words within specific phrases will be replaced. Compared to what he originally sounded like a year ago, what he sounds like now is a big improvement. Plus, there is a lot of background noise which could have been somewhat avoided if I were to have placed my smaller handheld mic (which I could not find) near his voice box.
