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.

The Final Manifestation of VanOaks Cemetery

VanOaks Cemetery takes its final bow after 15 years as a beloved yard haunt, with creator VanOaksProps capturing one last look at the display before retiring this version of the haunt. The video is less a tutorial and more a heartfelt tribute — a reflection on how a small yard display grew into a deeply personal and community-supported Halloween tradition. The creator frames the ending as inspiration rather than closure, and confirms a new haunt is already in the works and will be documented on the channel.
