What this video covers

VanOaksProps continues their Haunted Mansion home office series by building a functional replica chandelier inspired by the iconic changing portrait hallway of the Disney attraction. The build uses authentic unfinished brass lamp components sourced from Grand Brass, assembled on a threaded rod armature to closely match the ride's fixture. A SimFlame flame-effect bulb adds atmospheric authenticity to the finished piece. The creator credits Peter Wood for guidance on accurately replicating the chandelier's design.

Key takeaways

  • Replica chandelier is built from individual unfinished brass lamp parts threaded together on a central rod — no machining required
  • A 4-light version is presented as the home build, versus the 5-light version found on the actual ride
  • SimFlame flame-effect bulbs are used to replicate the eerie candle glow of the original fixture
  • Grand Brass is the primary parts supplier, with a full part-number list provided by the creator
  • Project is part of an ongoing series converting a small home office into a Haunted Mansion-themed space

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.
