What this video covers
Stiltbeast Studios walks through a quick paint job on a foam corpse body destined for an animatronic at the professional haunted attraction SCREAMS. The piece was sculpted and molded in-house, and the painting approach is deliberately optimized for low-light haunt environments rather than fine-detail display work. The video offers a practical look at how professional prop painters calibrate their technique to real-world haunt conditions.
Key takeaways
- ◆Body was scratch-built — sculpted and molded by the creator before painting
- ◆Paint treatment is intentionally simplified for low-light haunted house viewing
- ◆Finished piece is designed to mount on a live animatronic inside a professional attraction
- ◆Demonstrates a professional workflow from foam casting to finished, haunt-ready prop
Who this is for

Making a real Puppet Animatronic! #fnaf

Two pneumatic systems power the scare: a scissor mechanism that launches the figure forward roughly three feet, and a chest-mounted pneumatic that thrusts its arms outward for the signature jumpscare effect.
