What this video covers

Monster Tutorials presents a detailed walkthrough for building a Halloween diorama centered on a 'Pumpkin Queen' character surrounded by a miniature pumpkin patch and skeleton. The build was originally created as a personal entry concept for a mini skeleton prop challenge. Hot wire foam cutting tools are used to shape the scene elements, with flickering LEDs added to bring the diorama to life. The result is a charming, display-ready tabletop Halloween piece with strong character and atmosphere.

Key takeaways

  • Hot wire foam tools are the primary shaping method for the pumpkin patch and scene elements
  • Flickering LEDs are incorporated to add atmospheric Halloween lighting to the finished diorama
  • The build centers on an original 'Pumpkin Queen' character as a creative focal point
  • Designed as a compact, display-quality tabletop or shelf piece
  • Inspired by a mini skeleton prop challenge, making it a great entry-level competitive build concept

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.
