Count Wolf Von Vinderstein Full Audio - Trimper's Haunted House in Ocean City, MD

*Note: 60 seconds of the narration toward the middle of the clip is distorted.*

During the winter of 1995, Granville Trimper purchased a custom-designed animatronic figure from Sally Corporation for the lobby after seeing an example at the IAAPA trade show in Florida. The headless figure, named Count Wolf Von-Vinderstein, barks at crowds as they pass, drawing in their attention and daring them to enter “Gloom House.”

This stunt, which is operated by part air, part electric, includes complex mechanisms that make the mouth move in sync with a recorded digital audio loop. Although the majority of the sounds inside the attraction are managed in the main shop, this stunt is turned on daily with a switch inside box he stands on.

Unlike many generic animatronic sound bytes, the audio used for the count was custom developed specifically for Trimpers. In his speech, he tells visitors how they will be turned upside-down in the Upside-down room, how the will meet the now removed Frankenstein on the second story, and how they may be turned inside-out in Tracy’s rotating barrel.
