What this video covers

This short Hauntcast feature showcases a pod creature prop built using a combination of pink foam, Great Stuff expanding foam, Free Form Air, and Habitat Black coating. The result is an organic, textured creature suitable for professional haunted attractions or ambitious home haunts. The multi-material approach creates a convincing alien or horror-pod aesthetic with depth and surface detail.

Key takeaways

  • Pink foam provides the core structural shape of the creature
  • Great Stuff expanding foam adds organic, irregular surface texture
  • Free Form Air and Habitat Black are used for detailing and a durable finished coating
  • The combination of Smooth-On products elevates the realism of the final prop

Who this is for

Materials mentioned

  • pink foam
  • Free Form Air

⚠ Safety notes

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.
