What this video covers
FrightProps walks through the function and use of quick exhaust valves in Halloween prop and animatronic builds. These valves serve two primary purposes: boosting cylinder stroke speed and enabling rapid depressurization of compressed-air tanks. The short runtime makes this a focused, no-fluff reference for pneumatic builders. It is part of FrightProps' broader educational series on pneumatic components.
Key takeaways
- ◆Quick exhaust valves can significantly increase the strike speed of pneumatic cylinders
- ◆They also allow for fast depressurization of compressed-air tanks
- ◆A compact, targeted explainer ideal for builders upgrading existing pneumatic rigs
- ◆FrightProps positions this as a practical component guide rather than a full build tutorial
Who this is for
Haunt builders and animatronic enthusiasts who already have a basic pneumatic setup and want to improve cylinder speed or add rapid air-release capability to their props.
Materials mentioned
- • quick exhaust valves
- • cylinders
- • compressed air tanks
⚠ Safety notes
Compressed air systems operate under pressure; ensure all fittings are rated for your operating PSI and depressurize lines before making connections or adjustments.

We made a real DOGDAY Animatronic! #poppyplaytime
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a full animatronic version of Dogday, the unsettling canine character from Poppy Playtime Chapter 3, entirely from scratch. 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.
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.
