VanOaksProps compiles ten of their most popular budget Halloween prop builds into a single 70-minute video marathon, with each project costing under $10. The lineup spans a wide range of themes — from pirate rum bottles and treasure chests to a prop scythe, medieval torch, and smoldering log effect. Each segment links to its original standalone tutorial, making it easy to jump to specific projects. The format works equally well as a step-by-step guide or background viewing while already building in the workshop.

  • Projects span multiple themes including pirate, medieval, antique, and occult
  • Timestamped chapters let viewers navigate directly to any individual prop

Real YARNABY Animatronic! 🧶😱 #poppyplaytime

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie construct a full animatronic version of Yarnaby from the horror game Poppy Playtime, built from steel and driven by pneumatics. The build goes beyond aesthetics — the team stress-tests the animatronic's jaw mechanism using a ballistic gel arm to see whether it could realistically bite through a limb. The video blends behind-the-scenes fabrication footage with chaotic prop-testing in classic Wicked Makers style. It sits alongside their broader catalog of mascot-horror animatronics inspired by FNAF, Poppy Playtime, and similar franchises.
