What this video covers
This FrightProps tutorial walks through the complete installation of a dual-servo head lift and turn kit onto a standard plastic skeleton. The build combines two servos working in tandem to produce realistic, multi-axis head movement. The video covers assembly of the servo and ServoBlock hardware, physical mounting onto the skeleton, and programming the motion sequences using a PicoServo controller.
Key takeaways
- ◆Two servos work together to achieve both head lifting and turning simultaneously for lifelike motion
- ◆ServoBlocks are used as part of the mounting assembly for secure, precise servo placement
- ◆The PicoServo controller is used to program and coordinate the dual-servo movement
- ◆This is a purpose-built kit from FrightProps designed to fit a standard plastic skeleton
Who this is for
Home haunters and prop builders who want to add convincing, motorized head movement to a plastic skeleton without starting from scratch.
Materials mentioned
- • servo kit
- • two servos
- • ServoBlocks

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.
