What this video covers

FrightProps walks through their plug-and-play servo kit designed to add realistic jaw movement to standard plastic skulls. The kit pairs with a compatible controller — such as their own ServoTalk unit — to synchronize the jaw motion with spoken audio or dialogue. The result is a convincing talking skull animatronic without requiring custom fabrication or advanced electronics knowledge.

Key takeaways

  • Converts an ordinary plastic skull into an audio-synced talking animatronic
  • Designed to fit most common plastic skull props with minimal modification
  • Requires a compatible servo controller (such as FrightProps' ServoTalk) to drive jaw movement from audio
  • Entry-level build that keeps mechanical complexity low

Who this is for

Halloween prop builders and home haunters who want a quick, accessible way to add animatronic jaw movement to a plastic skull without building from scratch.

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.
