We made a Barbie NIGHTMARE DOLLHOUSE for Halloween!

Wicked Makers transforms a Barbie Dreamhouse into a horror-themed nightmare dollhouse packed with references to Scream, The Ring, Stranger Things, and Arachnophobia. Each room receives a scene-specific makeover using custom 3D-printed parts, Apoxie Sculpt miniatures, hand-painted details, and atmospheric lighting driven by an Arduino Uno R4. A micro fogger and flickering LEDs push the creepy atmosphere further, while two-way acrylic creates an eerie digital screen effect. The result is a show-stopping Halloween display piece that blends pop culture horror with serious maker craft.

Making a Pirate Treasure Chest 💀 DIY Halloween Props

Wicked Makers hosts Jay and Jaimie build an elaborate Sea of Thieves-inspired pirate treasure chest Halloween prop from XPS and EVA foam, complete with 3D-printed skull decorations and hardware details. The build is elevated by special effects including Arduino-controlled NeoPixel glowing eyes and a hidden microfogger that breathes eerie mist from the chest. The prop is finished with layered paints, Rub n Buff, and airbrushing to achieve a weathered, cursed aesthetic. It's a full-featured, multi-discipline build that blends prop fabrication, electronics, and effects work into a single showpiece.

We built a huge glowing skull (for our workshop!)

Wicked Makers duo Jay and Jaimie construct a large, eye-catching backlit skull sign for their workshop using a CNC router and birch plywood built up in two layers. LED strips are routed behind the skull cutout and controlled by an Arduino Micro to produce a dramatic glowing effect. The project blends woodworking, basic electronics, and CNC design into an approachable weekend build. Full Arduino code and schematics are available on the creators' website for anyone who wants to replicate it.
