What this video covers

Jake from Stiltbeast Studios steps away from his airbrush series to demonstrate how to build convincing LED candle props for haunted attraction set dressing. The build centers on pre-wired 12V flickering candle LEDs sourced from LighthouseLEDs, which simulate a realistic flame effect without fire risk. The result is an atmospheric, repeatable prop well-suited to gothic or haunted house scenic environments.

Key takeaways

  • Uses pre-wired 12V flickering yellow/gold LEDs for an authentic candle flame look
  • Beginner-friendly build that can be replicated in volume for large set dressing needs
  • Safe, flame-free alternative to real candles in haunted attractions
  • Versatile prop that fits a wide range of spooky scenic themes

Who this is for

Haunted attraction builders and home haunters looking for an easy, flame-free candle prop to enhance their set dressing.

Materials mentioned

  • pre-wired 12V flickering candle LEDs
  • yellow/gold LEDs

⚠ Safety notes

Use appropriate low-voltage wiring practices when working with 12V LED circuits; ensure all connections are insulated and secure in a public haunt environment.

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.
