What this video covers

Haunt Former documents the painting process for themed signage in the Port Chum home haunt build, including a 'Bait n Tackle' sign and the Port Chum location sign. The vlog offers a look at how decorative sign painting contributes to establishing a cohesive seaside horror atmosphere. It is part of an ongoing Port Chum build series chronicling the haunt's creation leading up to the 2023 season.

Key takeaways

  • Custom painted signs are a low-cost way to sell a haunt's theme and location identity
  • A nautical/fishing village aesthetic is the core visual language of the Port Chum haunt
  • Sign painting with a worn or eerie finish reinforces the horror atmosphere
  • This is one episode in a larger Port Chum build vlog series worth following for full context

Our BIGGEST Animatronic Yet! 📺 #poppyplaytime

Wicked Makers creators Jay and Jaimie built a large-scale animatronic of Harley Sawyer — 'The Doctor' from Poppy Playtime — described as their biggest animatronic build to date. The prop is powered by an advanced control system originally designed for escape rooms and theme parks, giving it network connectivity to interface with home locks, cameras, and lighting. The team collaborated directly with game developer Mob Entertainment and the character's original voice actor to achieve an authentic result. The short-form video teases the completed build and its impressive integration into a functional smart-home security setup.

We made a real FIGURE Animatronic (that can hear you)

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay transform a store-bought werewolf animatronic into Figure — the blind, sound-hunting monster from the Roblox horror game Doors. They reshape the prop's body using bubble wrap, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap, then replace the default motion sensor with a sound sensor so the animatronic reacts to noise just like the in-game enemy. Finishing touches include custom teeth and a glowing head before putting their creation to the ultimate test: attempting to sneak past it in real life.
