We made a real BILL CIPHER Animatronic! (GRAVITY FALLS)

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a full animatronic version of Bill Cipher, the iconic triangle demon from Disney's Gravity Falls. The build combines XPS foam carving, metal frame construction, 3D-printed eye mechanics, and DryLok stone texturing before being painted and detailed with signature accessories. Micro servos driven by the free Bottango software bring Bill to life — making him look around, blink, float, and deliver custom voice lines recorded by Jay. The result is a highly characterful display-ready animatronic that fans of the show and Halloween prop builders alike will find impressive.

We made a real life HUGGY WUGGY Animatronic!

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie build a giant Huggy Wuggy animatronic entirely from scratch, drawing inspiration from the indie horror game Poppy Playtime. The build uses a PVC pipe skeleton for structure, a windshield wiper motor to drive movement, and a hot-wire-carved styrofoam head covered in fluffy blue fur. The team documents the engineering challenges of balancing and tuning the motion, offering a detailed look at a full scratch-built character animatronic. The finished prop delivers a convincing, oversized jumpscare-ready version of the iconic blue monster.

DIY Pirate Rum Prop

This quick tutorial from VanOaks Props shows how to upcycle a plastic maple syrup bottle into a convincing pirate rum prop using EVA foam detailing and layered paint techniques. The build relies on common, inexpensive supplies and is completed in roughly six minutes of instruction. Weathering with multiple acrylic tones and a final clear coat gives the finished piece an aged, authentic look. It's a great low-cost accent piece for pirate-themed haunts, costumes, or Halloween displays.
