What this video covers

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a PVC-pipe candy slide that lets homeowners deliver Halloween treats to trick-or-treaters from a safe distance. The construction relies entirely on basic PVC fittings and a hacksaw, making it accessible to first-time builders. Once assembled, the chute serves as a blank decorating canvas — the duo dresses theirs up with cheesecloth, spray paint, a plastic skeleton, and a skull. Free downloadable plans are available on the Wicked Makers website.

Key takeaways

  • Entire prop is built from standard PVC pipe and fittings — no advanced tools required
  • Keeps candy-givers and trick-or-treaters roughly six feet apart
  • Decoration is fully customizable; the video demonstrates a spooky skeleton theme
  • A bandsaw speeds up cuts but a basic hacksaw works just as well
  • Free project plans are available for download from the creators

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.
