What this video covers

SKS Props walks through the full process of transforming a craft foam pumpkin into a detailed Halloween prop, covering hot knife cutting, EVA foam and foam clay sculpting, and a multi-layer paint finish using acrylics and airbrush paints. A standout segment demonstrates how to craft convincing monster eyes from Christmas bulbs and foam clay, giving the pumpkin a creature-like personality. The finished piece draws inspiration from DnD mimic aesthetics, making it a unique display prop beyond a standard jack-o'-lantern.

Key takeaways

  • Hot knife cutting gives clean, controlled edges in craft foam pumpkins
  • EVA HD foam and foam clay can add sculptural monster details to any foam base
  • Liquitex acrylics combined with Createx airbrush paints create a rich, layered finish
  • Christmas bulbs serve as inexpensive armatures for realistic monster eyes
  • The mimic-inspired design translates DnD creature concepts into a Halloween prop

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.
