We made a real DOGDAY Animatronic!

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a full-scale pneumatic DogDay animatronic inspired by the legless, imprisoned character from Poppy Playtime Chapter 3. The build combines a steel frame powered by pneumatic mechanics (sourced from haunted attraction specialists Hallucinations Creations) with a custom 3D-printed and modeled head, a wire-and-foam body armature, and a shaggy fur exterior. Animation is driven by a prop controller from Purgatory Props, and the finished piece is set inside handmade theatrical flat jail cell walls. The result joins an expanding collection of Wicked Makers' video-game-inspired Halloween animatronics.

We made a JUMPING SPIDER Animatronic!

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay transform a store-bought Spirit Halloween Jumping Spider animatronic into a glowing, game-inspired creature build. Using EVA foam, foam clay, UV resin, and fluorescent neon paint, they rebuild the spider's exterior with armored shells, spikes, and glowing orbs. The finished prop blazes under UV blacklight, turning a floppy plush animatronic into a striking yard-haunt centerpiece. The project draws on DIY cosplay fabrication techniques adapted for Halloween prop-making.

We made a real LAST OF US Animatronic!

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay transform a Spirit Halloween Night Crawler animatronic into a screen-accurate Clicker from The Last of Us by sculpting a cordyceps mushroom bloom over the existing head. The build relies on EVA foam and foam clay for the distinctive fungal petals, with a guest airbrushing lesson adding realistic color depth. Thrifted clothing and careful gap-filling complete the creature makeover. The result is an impressive, character-specific animatronic upgrade achieved with widely available materials.

Creepy Halloween Candles with a Twist!

VanOaksProps puts a fresh spin on the classic DIY Halloween candle build, using PVC pipe instead of the commonly used pool noodle approach. Hot glue is applied to simulate realistic dripping wax, while moving-flame LED candles add a convincing flickering glow. The result is a durable, creepy candelabra-style prop that can elevate any Halloween display. The tutorial is concise and beginner-friendly at under 10 minutes.
