What this video covers

Stiltbeast Studios walks through how to build a convincing side-of-beef prop for under $100 using everyday materials like pool noodles, pallet wrap, spray paint, and caulking. The technique is adaptable beyond beef — creators can modify the approach to produce pig carcasses or other animal forms. The result is a versatile hanging prop suited for butcher scenes, freezer rooms, or hillbilly murder-shack setups. At roughly 37 minutes, the video provides enough depth for even first-time prop builders to follow along.

Key takeaways

  • Build a realistic meat carcass prop for under $100 using pool noodles as the core armature
  • Pallet wrap, spray paint, and caulking add convincing texture and color
  • The basic method can be adapted to create pigs or other carcasses beyond beef
  • Works as a set piece for butcher shops, freezer scenes, or rural horror environments
  • No advanced sculpting skills required — accessible to beginner prop makers

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.
