What this video covers

This tutorial walks through modifying the Spirit Halloween Ghost Trap toy into a screen-accurate smoking prop inspired by the Ghostbusters films. The creator integrates a mini smoke machine into the trap using a combination of 3D-printed parts, laser-cut components, and some basic wiring. A full kit list with links to all required parts is provided, making it straightforward for builders to source everything they need. The result is a visually impressive prop upgrade that adds a working smoke effect to an off-the-shelf Halloween product.

Key takeaways

  • A commercial Spirit Halloween Ghost Trap serves as the base, reducing scratch-build complexity
  • A compact mini smoke machine is embedded inside the prop to replicate the on-screen smoke effect
  • 3D printing and laser cutting are used to fabricate custom adapter or housing parts
  • An aviation plug is used for clean, detachable wiring connections
  • A complete parts/kit list with purchase links is included in the video description

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.
