What this video covers

This step-by-step tutorial from SKS Props walks viewers through building a spider-themed mimic pumpkin prop using a foam pumpkin as the base. The build covers constructing wire legs, adding sculptural detail with EVA HD foam and foam clay, and creating a furry texture using twine. Finishing touches include acrylic weathering with Liquitex paints and handcrafted reflective eyes made from glass half domes, resulting in a striking Halloween display piece.

  • EVA HD foam and foam clay add sculptural texture and organic detail to the base pumpkin

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.
