What this video covers

FrightProps showcases their Air Whips prop, a pneumatically driven effect that sends soft rubber tubes thrashing at guests' ankles to simulate something crawling or grabbing from below. The multi-whip design creates an unsettling tactile sensation that catches patrons off guard at ground level. It's a compact, low-profile scare that complements traditional wall or ceiling scares by targeting an area guests rarely anticipate.

Key takeaways

  • Soft rubber whips deliver a safe but startling ankle-level tactile effect
  • Multi-whip configuration increases the sense of chaos and unpredictability
  • Low-profile placement makes it easy to conceal within a haunt floor or set
  • Effective as a complementary effect alongside other pneumatic or jump scares

Who this is for

Haunted attraction operators and home haunters looking to add a surprising ground-level scare element to their pneumatic arsenal.

Materials mentioned

  • soft rubber tubes

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.

We made a real DOGDAY Animatronic!

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a full-scale pneumatic DogDay animatronic inspired by the legless, imprisoned character from Poppy Playtime Chapter 3. The build combines a steel frame powered by pneumatic mechanics (sourced from haunted attraction specialists Hallucinations Creations) with a custom 3D-printed and modeled head, a wire-and-foam body armature, and a shaggy fur exterior. Animation is driven by a prop controller from Purgatory Props, and the finished piece is set inside handmade theatrical flat jail cell walls. The result joins an expanding collection of Wicked Makers' video-game-inspired Halloween animatronics.
