What this video covers

VanOaksProps runs down a personal top-10 list of essential supplies suited to both first-time and seasoned haunters. The selections span cutting and shaping tools, painting and finishing aids, and general workshop staples that show up repeatedly in prop-building projects. Each pick reflects the creator's hands-on experience rather than a generic consensus list. The compact five-minute format makes it a quick, practical reference for stocking a haunt workshop.

Key takeaways

  • Covers 10 workshop staples useful across a wide range of Halloween prop builds
  • Includes both cutting tools (pull saw, rasp, utility knife) and finishing tools (critter spray gun, chip brushes, strainers)
  • Gaffer tape and spray bottles are highlighted as versatile, everyday haunting essentials
  • Aimed at new haunters but still relevant for veterans looking to refine their toolkit
  • All featured items are linked for easy purchase via the creator's Amazon storefront

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.
