What this video covers

FrightProps showcases their complete Slamming Door Kit, a pneumatic solution that automatically bangs a door open and closed for dramatic haunted house effects. The kit includes all necessary components — the builder only needs to supply the door itself and any decorative hardware. It's well suited for simulating a poltergeist presence or a frantic struggle happening just out of sight behind a closed door.

Key takeaways

  • All-in-one pneumatic kit — just add your own door
  • Creates convincing poltergeist or struggle-behind-the-door illusions
  • Designed for haunted house or home haunt environments
  • No complex fabrication required; beginner-friendly assembly

Who this is for

Haunted house builders and home haunters looking for a plug-and-play pneumatic effect to add dynamic, startling door movement without building from scratch.

⚠ Safety notes

Pneumatic props involve pressurized air systems; follow manufacturer guidelines for safe pressure levels and secure all fittings before operation.

Making a real Puppet Animatronic! #fnaf

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a life-size animatronic version of The Puppet (Marionette) from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The prop combines a foam-sculpted body wrapped in black velvet with a 3D-printed, painted mask sourced from a third-party sculptor. Two pneumatic systems power the scare: a scissor mechanism that launches the figure forward roughly three feet, and a chest-mounted pneumatic that thrusts its arms outward for the signature jumpscare effect.

We made a real DOGDAY Animatronic!

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a full-scale pneumatic DogDay animatronic inspired by the legless, imprisoned character from Poppy Playtime Chapter 3. The build combines a steel frame powered by pneumatic mechanics (sourced from haunted attraction specialists Hallucinations Creations) with a custom 3D-printed and modeled head, a wire-and-foam body armature, and a shaggy fur exterior. Animation is driven by a prop controller from Purgatory Props, and the finished piece is set inside handmade theatrical flat jail cell walls. The result joins an expanding collection of Wicked Makers' video-game-inspired Halloween animatronics.
