What this video covers

StiltbeastStudios, led by industry veteran Allen Hopps, presents an in-depth sculpt refinement session focused on elevating a Halloween prop or creature piece to professional haunted-attraction quality. At just over two hours, the video dedicates substantial time to the nuanced process of cleaning up and detailing a sculpt. Viewers can expect close attention to surface work, form correction, and the kind of finishing touches that separate amateur builds from professional haunt-ready pieces.

Key takeaways

  • Focuses on the refinement stage of sculpting — often the most overlooked step in prop making
  • Allen Hopps brings professional haunted attraction experience to the instruction
  • Long-form format allows deep, unhurried coverage of detailing techniques
  • Applicable to both home haunters and professional attraction builders looking to elevate prop quality

Who this is for

Intermediate-to-advanced prop makers and haunted attraction builders who want to refine their sculpting skills beyond basic construction and into professional-level finishing.

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.
