What this video covers

This tutorial from Monster Tutorials walks through the process of creating resin-cast prop eyes that use an optical illusion to appear as though they follow viewers around the room. The build combines ball bearings, a silicone sphere mold, and UV-stabilized clear cast resin to produce convincing, lifelike eyeballs. A pressure pot is used during the casting process to ensure bubble-free results. The finished props can bring Halloween characters and figures to life with an unsettling, interactive quality.

Key takeaways

  • The 'follow me' effect is achieved through an optical illusion built into the resin-cast eye design
  • Ball bearings are embedded within the cast resin sphere as a key structural component
  • A silicone sphere mold and UV-stabilized clear cast resin are the primary materials
  • A pressure pot is recommended for achieving clear, bubble-free resin casts
  • Finished eyes can be installed in a variety of Halloween props and figures

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.
