What this video covers

FrightProps founder Scott demonstrates how to build a set of three synchronized haunted moving portrait paintings — an effect traditionally seen in high-end professional haunts and theme parks. The tutorial covers how the three portraits work together and interact with one another as a coordinated system. A ready-to-build kit is available directly from FrightProps for those who want all the components in one package.

Key takeaways

  • Recreate a classic theme-park-quality moving portrait effect at home or in a haunt
  • Three portraits are synchronized and interact with each other as a unified display
  • FrightProps offers a dedicated kit to streamline the build process
  • Effect is achievable by intermediate-level builders outside of professional attraction budgets

Who this is for

Home haunters and haunt builders who want to add a polished, theme-park-inspired synchronized portrait animation effect to their attraction or display.

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.
