We made a real FOXY Animatronic! (FNAF)

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie transform a retail pirate animatronic into a life-size Withered Foxy from Five Nights at Freddy's for their 2024 yard haunt. The build combines a fully fabricated foam endoskeleton with 3D-printed and fabric-covered outer pieces, while the original animatronic's servo-driven face mechanics are completely disassembled and remounted to match Foxy's proportions. Inspired by behind-the-scenes photos from the FNAF 2 film production, the creators aim for screen-accurate character detail at a DIY level. Foxy joins a growing roster of scratch-built FNAF animatronics on the channel.

Endless Drinking Skeleton 💀 DIY Halloween Props

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay walk through building 'Barty,' a Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired pirate skeleton prop that appears to endlessly drink from a bottle using a hidden recirculating fountain pump. The build centers on a life-sized skeleton dressed in thrift-store pirate gear posed over a barrel, with colored water looping invisibly through vinyl tubing. The hosts also highlight how the same fountain-pump trick can be adapted to other Halloween themes — vampires, zombies, witches — making the core technique highly reusable. Goodwill is a featured sponsor, reinforcing the budget-friendly, thrift-forward approach to costuming the character.
