What this video covers

The Ankle Tickler is a pneumatic scare prop from Ghost Ride Productions that delivers a low-level startle effect to haunt guests. When triggered, four flexible soft tubes thrash and wiggle at ankle height while simultaneously blasting air and producing the loud hiss of rushing air. The combined sensory assault — tactile, auditory, and visual — creates a disorienting and unexpected scare at ground level.

Key takeaways

  • Ground-level air blast effect targets guests at ankle height
  • Four flexible tubes wiggle erratically upon trigger activation
  • Rushing air sound adds an auditory startle component
  • Soft tubing material minimizes guest injury risk
  • Designed for walk-through haunt pathways

Who this is for

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.

We made a real DOGDAY Animatronic!

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a full-scale pneumatic DogDay animatronic inspired by the legless, imprisoned character from Poppy Playtime Chapter 3. The build combines a steel frame powered by pneumatic mechanics (sourced from haunted attraction specialists Hallucinations Creations) with a custom 3D-printed and modeled head, a wire-and-foam body armature, and a shaggy fur exterior. Animation is driven by a prop controller from Purgatory Props, and the finished piece is set inside handmade theatrical flat jail cell walls. The result joins an expanding collection of Wicked Makers' video-game-inspired Halloween animatronics.
