What this video covers

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie build a life-sized, game-accurate Minecraft Spider Halloween prop using XPS foam, acrylic paints, and a hidden RC car chassis that propels it at speed. The blocky pixel aesthetic is achieved through careful foam shaping and a multi-shade grey paint scheme, while 3D-printed details and LED eyes complete the effect. A Bluetooth speaker adds sound for extra impact, making the prop interactive enough to chase trick-or-treaters around the yard.

Key takeaways

  • XPS foam keeps the large prop lightweight while remaining sturdy enough for outdoor use
  • An RC car hidden inside the body provides real mobility and surprisingly high speed
  • A multi-tone acrylic paint strategy replicates the pixelated Minecraft texture faithfully
  • 3D-printed resin parts add fine detail that foam alone cannot achieve
  • LED lights and a Bluetooth speaker elevate the prop from static display to interactive scare

Who this is for

Home haunters and Minecraft fans who want a show-stopping, interactive yard prop that combines foam fabrication, basic electronics, and pop-culture flair.

  • 3D printer

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.
