The Eyeball Doorbell is a series of animated Halloween decorations made from 2015 to present. Each doorbell comes in a different color (as of 2017, new overall designs began being produced), however all models have an eyeball within them hidden by an eyelid, and a push button underneath. In 2019, all Eyeball Doorbell models (except the SpEYEder versions) were given a new design, with a bat printed on the eyelids. When activated, The doorbell's eyelid opens up and its eye glows as the eye looks side to side while speaking a scary phrase.

Trivia[]
- The Mystic Eyeball Doorbell shares the same phrases as the Large Swami, Small Swami, Dr Shivers Swami, Mad Scientist, Small Skull, and some phrases from the Large Skull Spirit Balls.
- A newer model of the Red SpEYEder was made in 2019 that had phrases from the regular Eyeball Doorbells. Even though the new Red SpEYEder model was made, Gemmy also still made the older model the same year with the new one.
- The eyeball doorbells have been very popular and have been ripped off by numerous companies at least a few times since their release. A wooden one resembling a shield with one eyelid was sold at Walgreens, a black one with a cross design was made by Dasini, a gold one with a holographic eye was sold by Big Lots, and a white version of the black one (Ripoff of black version exist too) that was sold only in the UK.
- In 2020, a clear SpEYEder was released that was sold at T.J. Maxx that opened the eyelid, however the eye did not look side to side.
- Since 2019, every doorbell now has a bat engraved into the eyelids, rather than the smooth eyelids they had prior.
