Wicked Makers transform a classic Barbie Dreamhouse into a horror-themed haunted dollhouse, complete with custom-sculpted miniature props, spooky lighting, and pop-culture scares.

Make Halloween Store Skeletons WAY BETTER! 💀

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie transform a basic store-bought plastic skeleton into a swaying drunken pirate animatronic inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean. The build covers two parallel tracks: constructing a wiper-motor-driven PVC swaying mechanism, and detailing the skeleton with corpsing (cotton, liquid latex, and contact cement), custom painting, and thrift-store costume weathering. The corpsing method demonstrated produces a decayed, fleshy look distinct from the mummified result of heat-gun-and-plastic-wrap techniques. The finished prop is designed for outdoor yard display and makes an impressive centerpiece for a home haunt.

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie build a giant Huggy Wuggy animatronic entirely from scratch, drawing inspiration from the indie horror game Poppy Playtime.
