What this video covers
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay transform a commercial Spirit Halloween 'Harvester of Souls' animatronic into a screen-accurate Harry Potter Dementor. The build involves repositioning the figure for a flying pose, sculpting the iconic Dementor's Kiss mouth using Apoxie Sculpt, and adding a tattered cheesecloth-and-chicken-wire costume. A companion child figure is reworked into a soul-drained Harry Potter, complete with scar, glasses, and robes, creating a dramatic diorama-style display piece.
Key takeaways
- ◆A store-bought animatronic base is fully transformed through pose modification, resculpting, and repainting — no build from scratch required
- ◆Apoxie Sculpt is used to reshape the face into the Dementor's distinctive open-mouthed 'kiss' expression
- ◆Cheesecloth and chicken wire create a convincingly tattered, flowing costume that suggests flight
- ◆The companion figure is converted into Harry Potter using repainting, a haircut, and 3D-printed prop accessories
- ◆A glowing fog effect enhances the finished display's visual impact

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.
