What this video covers

VanOaksProps builds a custom vertical display stand for a Damiensaber lightsaber, incorporating LED strip lighting to give it a dramatic illuminated effect. The build draws on laser-cut components, PVC pipe, and aluminum tape finished with spray paint. The video was produced in partnership with Damiensaber, who provided the prop at no cost. While Star Wars-themed rather than strictly Halloween, the prop-display techniques translate directly to haunted-house and themed-room set dressing.

Key takeaways

  • Vertical stand uses a section of PVC sewer pipe as its structural core
  • Battery-powered RGB LED strips provide customizable ambient lighting without hardwiring
  • Laser-cut file is available for purchase, lowering the barrier to replication
  • Aluminum tape and spray paint create a polished, cinematic finish
  • Sponsored by Damiensaber — lightsaber shown was provided free of charge

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.
