What this video covers

SKS Props walks through a detailed step-by-step build of a spider-themed foam pumpkin prop suitable for home decor or community haunts. The tutorial covers constructing wire legs, adding sculpted detail with EVA HD foam and foam clay, creating a fur texture from twine, and finishing with acrylic weathering. A standout technique is crafting realistic reflective eyes using glass half domes. The video is part of a broader series of Halloween pumpkin prop tutorials from the channel.

Key takeaways

  • Wire armature forms the spider legs, giving the prop poseable structure
  • EVA HD foam and foam clay are used to sculpt additional surface details onto the foam pumpkin
  • Twine is used creatively to simulate fur texture on the spider body
  • Glass half domes create convincing reflective eyes
  • Liquitex acrylics are used for weathering and finishing the piece

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.
