The Corn Stalker Halloween Prop 2024 Village Mire Yard Haunt #homehaunt #yardhaunt #halloween

This video showcases the Corn Stalker, an original yard haunt prop built for the 2024 Village Mire display by Hauntcast. The figure is constructed from a PVC pipe armature, shaped with heavy-gauge wire, and padded with aluminum foil, then finished with spray paint, real corn stalks, and a commercial Husk head from Pumpkin Riot Productions. The result is a creepy cornfield creature that blends DIY fabrication with a purpose-built character mask for a polished outdoor effect.

Spawn of Cthulhu Halloween Home Haunt Prop | #Lovecraft #deepones #cthulhu #homehaunt

Haunter Chris Baker constructs a Spawn of Cthulhu creature prop for a home or yard haunt, drawing on H.P. Lovecraft's Deep Ones mythology. The build uses a Spidehill Prop Works Dual Spine Kit paired with a PVC and wire armature as its structural foundation. Sculpting materials including foam clay, Free-Form Air, and styrofoam give the creature its organic form, while Leak Seal provides a durable outer finish.

The OTHER MOTHER Animatronic from Coraline! #shorts

Wicked Makers duo Jaimie and Jay transform Spirit Halloween's Darling Dolly animatronic into the Other Mother (the Beldam) from the film Coraline. The makeover involves resculpting the head with Apoxie Sculpt, rebuilding the arms in foam clay, crafting a new costume from fabric and EVA foam, and finishing with button eyes, oversized needle fingers, a new wig, and strategic paintwork. This short-form video showcases the completed result of a more detailed full-length build. The finished prop captures the skeletal, spider-like silhouette of the Coraline villain convincingly.

We made a real OTHER MOTHER Animatronic from Coraline!

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay transform a Spirit Halloween 'Darling Dolly' animatronic into a screen-accurate Other Mother (The Beldam) from Coraline. The build involves resculpting the head with Apoxie Sculpt for cracked, angular features, replacing fingers with oversized sewing needle props, and crafting a full costume from fabric and EVA foam. Foam clay, paint, button eyes, and a new wig tie the character together into a striking animatronic centerpiece.
