What this video covers
This VanOaksProps compilation packages five separate motorized prop tutorials into a single nearly 30-minute video, designed to ease builders into adding movement to their haunts. Projects range from a simple pop-up mechanism to a rocking tombstone, an animated skeleton, a motorized haunted shovel, and a creepy wilting flower. Each build is presented as approachable and affordable, with links to the individual source videos for full parts lists. The overarching goal is to demystify basic animatronic techniques for home haunters at any skill level.

Making a real Puppet Animatronic! #fnaf
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a life-size animatronic version of The Puppet (Marionette) from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The prop combines a foam-sculpted body wrapped in black velvet with a 3D-printed, painted mask sourced from a third-party sculptor. Two pneumatic systems power the scare: a scissor mechanism that launches the figure forward roughly three feet, and a chest-mounted pneumatic that thrusts its arms outward for the signature jumpscare effect.
