What this video covers

This tutorial from SKS Props walks through building a spider pumpkin Halloween prop entirely from a foam pumpkin base, wire legs, EVA foam, and foam clay. The creator covers sculpting added detail, applying twine as fur for texture, and painting and weathering with Liquitex acrylics. A standout finishing touch is the use of reflective glass half-dome eyes that bring the creature to life. The finished piece suits both personal home decor and community haunt displays.

Key takeaways

  • Wire armature forms the poseable spider legs attached to the foam pumpkin base
  • EVA HD foam and foam clay add sculptural detail and organic texture
  • Twine is used creatively as fur to enhance the spider's creepy appearance
  • Liquitex acrylic paints are used for weathering and realistic color depth
  • Glass half-dome eyes create a striking reflective finish

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.
