What this video covers

Stiltbeast Studios walks through the construction of a creepy bear puppet designed to be performed under black light, with a Valentine's Day twist. The build leverages UV-reactive and glow-in-the-dark paints to create a striking, eerie visual effect in dark environments. The video blends puppet fabrication techniques with black light performance aesthetics, resulting in a prop equally suited to haunt sets, scary puppet shows, or prank scenarios.

Key takeaways

  • UV-reactive paint is central to achieving the black light glow effect on the puppet
  • A repurposed poop-scooper is used as an unconventional puppet mechanism component
  • The bear design takes a familiar, friendly character and twists it into something unsettling
  • Finished puppet is suited for live performance, haunt scenes, or scary prank content
  • Stiltbeast Studios emphasizes accessible builds with creative material choices

Who this is for

Halloween prop builders and puppet enthusiasts who want to create UV-reactive scary character puppets for haunt sets or live performance.

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.
