What this video covers
FrightProps presents its Pneumatic Piston Lid Opener Kit, a ready-to-install solution for building a self-opening box or scary crate Halloween prop. The kit is available in three configurations: with audio (including a PicoBoo controller and horn speaker), without audio (PicoBoo Jr controller), or as a bare hardware kit for builders supplying their own controller and solenoid. An air compressor and 110V power are required, and an activation trigger must be purchased separately. Optional speed controls or a regulator allow fine-tuning of the lid's open-and-close motion.
Key takeaways
- ◆Three kit tiers available — with audio, without audio, or hardware-only for custom builds
- ◆PicoBoo and PicoBoo Jr controllers included in the two complete kit options
- ◆Activation trigger (motion sensor, step mat, hand trigger) is sold separately
- ◆Air compressor and 110V electricity are required for operation
- ◆Optional regulators or speed controls let you dial in lid movement speed

We made a real DOGDAY Animatronic! #poppyplaytime
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a full animatronic version of Dogday, the unsettling canine character from Poppy Playtime Chapter 3, entirely from scratch. The build combines 3D printing with pneumatic mechanisms to bring the character to life with realistic movement. The short-form video offers a high-level showcase of the completed prop and build process.
Making a real Puppet Animatronic! #fnaf
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a life-size animatronic version of The Puppet (Marionette) from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The prop combines a foam-sculpted body wrapped in black velvet with a 3D-printed, painted mask sourced from a third-party sculptor. 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.
We made a real DOGDAY Animatronic!
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a full-scale pneumatic DogDay animatronic inspired by the legless, imprisoned character from Poppy Playtime Chapter 3. The build combines a steel frame powered by pneumatic mechanics (sourced from haunted attraction specialists Hallucinations Creations) with a custom 3D-printed and modeled head, a wire-and-foam body armature, and a shaggy fur exterior. Animation is driven by a prop controller from Purgatory Props, and the finished piece is set inside handmade theatrical flat jail cell walls. The result joins an expanding collection of Wicked Makers' video-game-inspired Halloween animatronics.
