Barbie’s NIGHTMARE Dollhouse?! 😱 #shorts
Wicked Makers transform a classic Barbie Dreamhouse into a horror-themed haunted dollhouse, complete with custom-sculpted miniature props, spooky lighting, and pop-culture scares. The build draws on iconic horror films and shows — including The Ring, Scream, and Stranger Things — to populate each room with a distinct scene. An Arduino Uno R4 powers the electronic effects, while digital video projections add an extra layer of creepiness. This short teases the full build video.
We made a Barbie NIGHTMARE DOLLHOUSE for Halloween!
Wicked Makers transforms a Barbie Dreamhouse into a horror-themed nightmare dollhouse packed with references to Scream, The Ring, Stranger Things, and Arachnophobia. Each room receives a scene-specific makeover using custom 3D-printed parts, Apoxie Sculpt miniatures, hand-painted details, and atmospheric lighting driven by an Arduino Uno R4. A micro fogger and flickering LEDs push the creepy atmosphere further, while two-way acrylic creates an eerie digital screen effect. The result is a show-stopping Halloween display piece that blends pop culture horror with serious maker craft.
We made The DOCTOR to Protect our House!
Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie build a full-scale animatronic of The Doctor (Harley Sawyer) from the horror game Poppy Playtime, going far beyond a typical Halloween prop. The build incorporates an advanced control system originally designed for escape rooms and theme parks, giving the animatronic a networked "brain" capable of interfacing with home security cameras, door locks, and lighting. The project also features collaboration with the game's developer and the character's original voice actor, lending it an impressive level of authenticity.
