Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay transform a commercial Spirit Halloween 'Harvester of Souls' animatronic into a screen-accurate Harry Potter Dementor. The build involves repositioning the figure for a flying pose, sculpting the iconic Dementor's Kiss mouth using Apoxie Sculpt, and adding a tattered cheesecloth-and-chicken-wire costume. A companion child figure is reworked into a soul-drained Harry Potter, complete with scar, glasses, and robes, creating a dramatic diorama-style display piece.
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.
Wicked Makers transforms Spirit Halloween's Nozzles the Clown animatronic into a detailed Joker character inspired by the Batman: Arkham game series and The Dark Knight. The makeover involves a full costume swap using thrifted purple suit pieces, a latex face repaint, and realistic glass iris replacements. Clothing is weathered with black acrylic paint, and the prop is connected to a fog machine for a dramatic final effect. The video demonstrates how an off-the-shelf animatronic can serve as a strong foundation for a highly personalized Halloween display piece.
