Cemetery Votive Candle Props for Halloween

SCARY HALLOWEEN Makeover! We made Pennywise from IT...

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay transform Spirit Halloween's 2022 Lucky Bottoms animatronic into a full-on Pennywise spider creature, inspired by the terrifying spider form from IT. The build involves constructing a PVC pipe frame to elevate the prop, adding spider legs covered in pool noodles, sewing a new Pennywise-style costume, and completely repainting the clown's face with a new wig. The finished piece is designed as a showstopping centerpiece for a Halloween yard haunt display. It's a creative, intermediate-level prop makeover that dramatically amplifies the scare factor of a stock store-bought animatronic.

I Made This Using Toilet Paper.

The look blends holiday-glam aesthetics with spooky SFX techniques for a result that sits somewhere between haunt-worthy and high fashion. Despite the accessible main material, the overall execution draws on intermediate-level makeup artistry skills.
