What this video covers
StiltbeastStudios' Allen Hopps takes viewers on a walkthrough of his intimate home haunt, Terra del Monstrum, built around classic monster themes. While the video showcases the physical props and set pieces, Hopps is quick to point out that the real magic comes from his dedicated cast of scare actors. The team uses curtain hides, dark-corner concealment, and coordinated actor setups to deliver layered scares — even personalizing the experience by using guests' names. This is a rare behind-the-scenes look that openly credits the human performance element as the heart of a successful haunt.
Key takeaways
- ◆Terra del Monstrum is a small but highly theatrical home haunt centered on classic monster aesthetics

- ◆Actors use coordinated setups, curtain hides, and personalized taunting to elevate scares
- ◆The creator candidly notes that the walkthrough only shows the physical elements, not the live energy

Our BIGGEST Animatronic Yet! 📺 #poppyplaytime
Wicked Makers creators Jay and Jaimie built a large-scale animatronic of Harley Sawyer — 'The Doctor' from Poppy Playtime — described as their biggest animatronic build to date. The prop is powered by an advanced control system originally designed for escape rooms and theme parks, giving it network connectivity to interface with home locks, cameras, and lighting. The team collaborated directly with game developer Mob Entertainment and the character's original voice actor to achieve an authentic result. The short-form video teases the completed build and its impressive integration into a functional smart-home security setup.
We made a real FIGURE Animatronic (that can hear you)
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay transform a store-bought werewolf animatronic into Figure — the blind, sound-hunting monster from the Roblox horror game Doors. They reshape the prop's body using bubble wrap, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap, then replace the default motion sensor with a sound sensor so the animatronic reacts to noise just like the in-game enemy. Finishing touches include custom teeth and a glowing head before putting their creation to the ultimate test: attempting to sneak past it in real life.
