Scaring the Neighbor Kids with a real FNAF Animatronic!

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a life-sized animatronic version of The Puppet (The Marionette) from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The character's body is sculpted from foam and wrapped in black velvet, while the mask was 3D printed, textured, and painted — with additional credit to a collaborating prop sculptor. The scare effect is driven by a pneumatic scissor mechanism that launches the prop roughly three feet forward, paired with a second pneumatic that extends its arms for a faithful FNAF jumpscare. The finished animatronic was field-tested by frightening neighborhood kids on Halloween.

Drop window

DIY AnimatronicsIntermediate

Drop window

StiltbeastStudios presents their spin on the drop window — a beloved haunted attraction staple — demonstrating how a hinged or dropping panel can conceal a live actor for a shocking reveal. The build focuses on the mechanical concept rather than finished decoration, since dressing the prop is highly location-dependent. A suggested staging tip involves hanging a corpse prop over the opening with an arm draped across, making the hidden actor far more unexpected when the drop triggers.
