What this video covers

This Monster Tutorials project shows how to transform an inexpensive dollar store bat skeleton prop into a convincing mummified bat specimen suitable for a haunted display or curiosity collection. The build focuses on corpsing and fauxidermy techniques to give the cheap prop an aged, desiccated appearance. At roughly 25 minutes, it's an accessible project for haunters of any skill level looking to add low-cost, high-impact pieces to their décor.

Key takeaways

  • Uses an affordable dollar store bat skeleton as the base prop
  • Applies corpsing and fauxidermy techniques to simulate a mummified specimen
  • Final piece works well as part of a specimen jar or cabinet-of-curiosities display
  • Short build time makes it ideal for mass-producing creepy décor on a budget

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.
