What this video covers
This tutorial from Hauntcast walks through building the mechanical core of a 'Well Peeper' animatronic prop — a swamp creature that rises or peers from a well. The build centers on a linear actuator paired with a pico volt controller to drive the motion, and a swamp-themed body form provides the visual character. A parts list is referenced within the video to help builders source what they need.
Key takeaways
- ◆Linear actuator drives the peeping/rising motion of the creature
- ◆Pico volt controller is used to manage the actuator movement
- ◆A swamp-style body form gives the prop its monster character
- ◆Full parts list is shown within the video itself
- ◆Compact 6-minute runtime keeps the tutorial focused on the mechanism
Who this is for
Intermediate home haunters and yard haunt builders looking to add a creature-in-a-well animatronic to their Halloween display.
Materials mentioned
- • linear actuator
- • swamp body form
- • pico volt controller
⚠ Safety notes
Linear actuators involve moving mechanical parts and electrical connections — ensure secure mounting and proper wiring practices to avoid pinch hazards or shorts.

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.
