What this video covers

This tutorial demonstrates how to transform Funkin foam pumpkins into gruesome, decayed Halloween props using the corpsing technique with latex and cotton balls. The process involves layering latex and cotton to simulate rotting, deteriorating flesh on the pumpkin surface. It's a budget-friendly and accessible method that dramatically elevates the horror aesthetic of an otherwise ordinary foam pumpkin.

Key takeaways

  • Funkin foam pumpkins serve as a reusable, lightweight base ideal for corpsing
  • Latex and cotton balls are the core materials for building up decayed texture
  • The corpsing technique mimics rotting organic material for a convincing horror effect
  • This is a beginner-friendly project well-suited for home haunters and prop builders

Who this is for

Home haunters and Halloween decorators looking for a simple, low-cost way to add gruesome, realistic decay effects to foam pumpkin props.

Materials mentioned

  • latex
  • cotton balls
  • Funkin foam pumpkins

⚠ Safety notes

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.
