What this video covers
Jake Farmer of Stiltbeast Studios walks through building a convincing explosion simulation effect for haunted attractions using electronic components anchored by a Boo Box Flex controller from FrightProps. The build demonstrates how a dedicated prop controller can orchestrate multiple elements to sell a high-impact, high-tech scare. The video highlights the versatility of FrightProps controllers for sequencing complex haunt effects. Jake hints that more FrightProps controller tutorials are planned for future episodes.
Key takeaways
- ◆The Boo Box Flex from FrightProps serves as the brain of the explosion simulation, coordinating multiple outputs
- ◆A prop controller allows precise timing and sequencing that makes the effect feel convincing
- ◆The technique is adaptable to other high-impact haunt scenarios beyond explosions
- ◆FrightProps controllers are praised for their versatility across a range of DIY haunt builds
Who this is for
Haunted attraction builders and serious home haunters who want to level up their effects using dedicated prop controllers for realistic, multi-element simulations.
Materials mentioned
- • Boo Box Flex controller
- • terminal block connectors
⚠ Safety notes

The build combines 3D printing with pneumatic mechanisms to bring the character to life with realistic movement. The short-form video offers a high-level showcase of the completed prop and build process.
REAL CatNap Animatronic! #catnap #poppyplaytime #shorts
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a fully functioning CatNap animatronic from scratch, bringing the popular Poppy Playtime horror-game character to life. The short-form video showcases the impressive finished result of their fabrication work. It's a quick but striking look at what dedicated prop builders can achieve with recognizable pop-culture source material.
Making a real Puppet Animatronic! #fnaf
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a life-size animatronic version of The Puppet (Marionette) from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The prop combines a foam-sculpted body wrapped in black velvet with a 3D-printed, painted mask sourced from a third-party sculptor. Two pneumatic systems power the scare: a scissor mechanism that launches the figure forward roughly three feet, and a chest-mounted pneumatic that thrusts its arms outward for the signature jumpscare effect.
