What this video covers
Miles McCabe of the Brick Thunder YouTube channel showcases the Distortions Unlimited Colossus animatronic in action at the Lehman Manor haunt during Halloween 2023. Colossus is a massive figure that sits at roughly 8 feet and rises to around 12 feet tall, featuring animated eyes and mouth, a stand-up-and-sit motion, integrated fog, sound, and a built-in soundtrack. Lehman Manor, the haunt featuring this prop, went on to win The Great Halloween Fright Fight on ABC that same season. The video offers a real-world look at how a large-scale commercial animatronic performs in an actual haunt environment.

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.
