What this video covers

StiltbeastStudios walks through the construction of a head cage that can function either as a wearable element for an asylum-themed costume or as a display mount for an animal prop. The build draws aesthetic inspiration from sources like 13 Ghosts and classic asylum horror characters such as Renfield. At 20 minutes, the tutorial offers a reasonably detailed look at the fabrication process from start to finish.

Key takeaways

  • Head cage can be worn as a costume piece or used as a static display prop
  • Design is inspired by asylum and psychiatric horror aesthetics, referencing 13 Ghosts and Renfield
  • Dual-purpose build makes it versatile for haunted house actors and decorators alike
  • Tutorial runs a full 20 minutes, suggesting meaningful depth on construction steps

Who this is for

Haunted house builders, costume makers, and home haunters who want to add an asylum or creature-cage element to a character or display.

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.
