What this video covers

Inspired by a cemetery tour in New Orleans, VanOaksProps builds a gothic-style haunt fence from PVC pipe and wood furring strips to complete a DIY family crypt display. The fence is elevated with 3D-printed finials and corner brackets, then finished with rubberized undercoating and rust-colored spray paint for an aged wrought-iron look. The build is designed to be accessible and budget-friendly while delivering a high visual impact as part of a larger graveyard scene.

Key takeaways

  • PVC pipe and 1x2 wood furring strips form the core fence structure — both inexpensive and widely available
  • 3D-printed finials and corner brackets add authentic gothic detail without complex fabrication
  • Rubberized undercoating followed by rust spray paint creates a convincing aged metal finish
  • The fence is designed as a complementary piece to an existing crypt build, showing how modular graveyard scenes can grow over time
  • A Forstner bit is used to cleanly seat PVC pipe into the wood rails

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.
