What this video covers

Wicked Makers transform a Spirit Halloween Night Crawler animatronic into a screen-accurate Clicker from The Last of Us. The fungal head bloom is built up using craft foam and foam clay, while the costume is sourced and upcycled from a thrift store. This short is a teaser for a full-length tutorial on their channel, showcasing the finished result in action.

Key takeaways

  • A store-bought animatronic serves as the mechanical foundation, saving significant build time
  • Craft foam and foam clay are used to sculpt the signature cordyceps mushroom bloom
  • Thrift-store clothing keeps costs down while adding authenticity to the character
  • The project demonstrates how off-the-shelf Halloween props can be reimagined as pop-culture monsters
  • A full detailed tutorial video is available on the Wicked Makers channel

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.
