What this video covers

StiltbeastStudios walks through the creation of fake radio equipment props designed to fill out and authenticate a haunted attraction scene. The build concept is deliberately versatile, with the same approach transferable to lab equipment, control rooms, or other technical environments. The tutorial focuses on achieving a convincing, scene-appropriate look without the need for real functional gear.

Key takeaways

  • Build believable radio or technical equipment props to dress and fill haunt scenes
  • The core technique adapts easily to lab, control room, or industrial set themes
  • Scene-filling props add depth and authenticity to haunted attraction environments
  • Focuses on visual impact and set cohesion rather than mechanical function

Who this is for

Haunt builders and set designers looking to add convincing technical or scientific prop dressing to their scenes on a budget.

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.
