What this video covers

Monster Tutorials walks viewers through building a wearable Facehugger prop inspired by the iconic creature from the Alien film franchise. The process covers sculpting the form in clay, creating a plaster mold, and casting the finished piece in liquid latex. A pre-made blank Facehugger option is also available through the creator's shop for those who want to skip straight to the finishing stage.

Key takeaways

  • Full workflow from clay sculpt to finished latex Facehugger mask
  • Corrugated plastic is used as a structural armature element
  • Plaster mold casting allows repeatable latex pulls
  • A "Finish It Yourself" blank is sold separately for those skipping the sculpt
  • Suitable as a wearable costume accessory or display prop

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.
