What this video covers
This short build update showcases a revamped tombstone popper prop in which the original wiper motor has been replaced with a slower 5rpm vent motor. The motor swap produces a noticeably more gradual, eerie movement that enhances the creep factor of the effect. The modification demonstrates how a simple component change can dramatically alter a prop's atmosphere and impact.
Key takeaways
- ◆Swapping a wiper motor for a 5rpm vent motor slows the popper's action considerably
- ◆The slower movement creates a creepier, more unsettling effect than the original build
- ◆Motor choice has a major impact on the mood and pacing of animatronic props
- ◆A single component change can revamp an existing prop without a full rebuild
Who this is for
Haunt builders looking to refine existing animatronic props by tuning motor speed for a more atmospheric scare effect.
Materials mentioned
- • wiper motor
- • 5rpm vent motor
⚠ Safety notes
Ensure all electrical connections are properly insulated and the motor is securely mounted before operating the prop.

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.
