About this Halloween Animatronic Prop:
The sitting scarecrow animatronic from Spirit Halloween looks suspiciously like he's sleeping. A bowl of candy resides in his lap. When an unsuspecting trick-or-treater reaches in to choose a piece, a motion detector triggers the scarecrow's head to snap up and he cackles a maniacal laugh. Is it scary? Sure… But for this Halloween, we wanted to transform him into the scarecrow from your nightmares. A scarecrow inspired by the DC Comics Scarecrow from Batman.
After the unboxing, we started by weathering his clothes and giving him new pants. When we cut off his burlap mask, we discovered a screaming plastic head underneath. Was this a long discarded head repurposed by Spirit as a simple base, or does this scarecrow actually hold a more sinister secret? Either way, the head made a perfect form for a new burlap scarecrow mask, now with glowing red eyes and a stitched up joker-like smile. A new burlap hat completed his look.
We love making our own Halloween props and decorations from scratch, but giving existing props a makeover is also a lot of fun. Spirit Halloween animatronics can provide a great starting point, and with a little bit of DIY love you can transform them into something spectacular for your haunted house or Halloween yard display.

huge fan
It’s awesome seeing all of these already amazing things turning into something more unique and your style who h makes it looks so epic!!
Absolutely love your videos!
Spirit Halloween Scarecrow Makeover is 100% better then the store one
That was an awesome makeover!
10 times better than before!
Fun fact, the face under the burlap was originally used on another prop, Resurrection Mary from 2010, also at Spirit. They must have decided that that mold was just right to use with Sitting Scarecrow. I love that you made good use of it, I think that's pretty creative.
Ah ok👍
I love that there’s a prop called “resurrection mary” when mary never died
@@RedParatroopa112not everything is about religion, could just be a girl named Mary for fucks sake, maybe Bloody Mary, not everyone shoves religion into everything like you ❤
@@RedParatroopa112 you know there's more then one Mary right?
@@RedParatroopa112 it's a reference to a ghost girl urban legend
When I went trick or treating somebody was a sitting scarecrow. He sat really still in a scarecrow costume and if you grabbed more than 1 piece of candy he would yell at you. One of the scariest Halloween decorations when I was younger.
That’s so smart
I saw the same concept except it was a child wearing a scarecrow costume standing extremely still on a small platform on a stick so he appeared like a real scarecrow. Me and my family could not tell if it was a person or decoration until we went to the front door and turned around and he was staring right at us lol
Actually it screams at you if you take even one piece, it has a sensor.
@@CEC_Cyberamic They’re talking about a real person..
@@MrRobertGillan oh sorry I didn’t see that part
I remember watching this video last Halloween to spruce up our old scarecrow. When I saw the new Spirit scarecrow…I knew exactly where they got the idea from. Wish you guys could’ve got your props!
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 same! 😄 thanks
hey wicked makers did you use the instrumental to Scotty doesn’t know?
I appreciate the transparency when it comes to the challenges and mistakes. Some projects don’t go exactly as planned and it’s nice to see that I’m not the only one who struggles sometimes. I like how you overcame the obstacles in your way and the finished project looks great!
I love all your videos, but these prop makeovers are just extra chef's kiss!
😄😄😄
Wow
I really like how this one turned out and the end result is just awesome. I think the speed it moves after you upgraded it is much better I think it's a bit more creepy with it slower. You guys are awesome and so talented. Love your videos Peace and love to you and your family 💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡
Yes! More realistic!
Thank you!! We’re very happy with it too.
Wow! You two are so legendary even SPIRIT HALLOWEEN took inspiration from this prop!
Fr
Not inspiration. Right up stole the design in everyday. There isn't much diffrence when you compare them.
@@SchardtCinematicdamn I just saw it.. you right 😬😮💨
Yes, I just came to look for this video to compare, wow! direct replica
Yes
The transformation is everything! I love how creepy and actually haunted your scarecrow looks, such an improvement on the regular basic our of the box one. Please keep making more of these videos! We love them and we love you!
He looks so much more scary! Seriously professional haunted-house level. No-one will be brave enough to set foot in your yard!
Thank you!!
The costume looks like something Professor Crane would wear in Batman.
I’ve been wanting to decorate A ton of my animatronics but I was too scared i would mess them up! This gives me ideas for them and I love y’all’s videos! Especially these!
Yes! That’s awesome
Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!
The messier you make it the better looking it will be.
Most things can be fixed with a little research and creativity!
@@HappyKittyShop they’re gonna be quite expensive mistakes if you ask me lol
As I watched this makeover and once you’re did the burlap mask and added all the details, I couldn’t help but think it looked like Johnathan Crane aka The Scarecrow from the Batman comics and 90s animated series. I love it and think it looks awesome, it would totally scare the shit out of me even as an adult!
Yes!!! That was a big inspiration
Now I really want to see a version of this makeover but inspired by Scarecrow's first appearance in the animated series. It would be extremely goofy and really fun.
@@George_vvNgl his first look in the show is my favorite design of his!
@George_vv I'd prefer an appearance based on Cillian Murphy's portrayal of Scarecrow in The Dark Knight.
I am convinced whoever did the new Scary Sitting Scarecrow revision absolutely watched this video.
fr
I came here to say this exact same thing! All the updates are WEIRDLY similar to this version, even down to the brown pants, the glowing eyes, the sewn mouth. There's probably not enough grounds to sue or anything, but if I was these artists, I'd be really mad.
Right?! It looks exactly like this one! I noticed that when I saw it at my local Spirit store
i just bought the new one to go with the old one and its so similar as if spirit had to have seen this video
@@ChelseyIsATotal5SOSFan
"farmer wizard" that can only cast agricultural based spells is going to be my new dungeons and dragons character 💀
Hahah yessss
Perfect!
Ah yes-
“I cast beans, beans, nothing but beans”
Sooo druid with more steps?
No chair? No problem, you can make a cornstalk throne. Your makeovers are fantastic by the way!
spirit halloween prolly saw the video and saw how cool you all made it and tried to do it for this year.
From a decent $150.00 Halloween prop to a $500.00+ excellent Halloween prop. Your skills are incredible and it's amazing to see your creativity in action. You are so resourceful and make some quality props.
I’m a new viewer, and I just wanna say I’m RLLY enjoying these prop makeovers! I’ve never seen anyone else do this and you guys are so fun ☺️
This is excellent timing. I have one and have been thinking how to make him creepier
Perfect!
He looks phenomenal!!! So plain straight out of the box to this! Awesome!
CANT BELIEVE THIS MADE IT TO SPIRIT HALLOWEEN 2023
We’ll kind of but this is still better
Hands down, best upgrade so far. Seriously. My heart rate increased, I was loving it so much. Oh My Gosh, Yes!
Awesome!! Glad to hear.
This week on WM, Jay tries to ensure Jaime gets an infection to get a real zombie for halloween.
Also, I think making the mouth glow could have been cool.
Looks great as always.
Would be awesome if they could plumb in a fog machine so he spits fog when he raises his head...
Hahah
I just realized that spirit Halloween probably took inspiration from you and made the “scary sitting scarecrow” this year in 2023
question: for this 2023 season, spirit is re releasing the sitting scarecrow, but now its called the "scary sitting scarecrow" and it looks very similar, almost identical to your makeover, did you guys work with them, or you think they took inspiration from your version?
We did not work with them on it. Its basically identical to ours so yeah they took inspiration.
"took inspiration"
“Took inspiration”, I think it was more like they took the entire design you guys did and used it for their own design.
with minor edits.
I’m hysterically laughing at the fact that they thought a chair was gonna be in that box lmao
To be fair the sitting witch animatronic came with a chair.
We have the prop and found a great chair sitting by a donation box in town.
Spirit Halloween a year after: “WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!”
This really reminds me of Scarecrow from Batman the Animated Series.
From the hat to the hair like straw to the smile cut into the burlap.
All he need is a red shirt and he'd be a dead ringer for Dr. Jonathan Crane.
Would you be able to replace the spring with a stronger one? I love the design but he's less scary because he isn't as quick.
That’s the plan yeah!
I quite agree. The new design is leaps and bounds above the store design, but the quick snap really helps with the scare factor
I agree! I came to the comments to say this! He just needs to be faster. The slow rise is kind of anticlimactic and wouldn't scare me as much, personally. It's the unnatural speed of the quick SNAP up that helps make him terrifying. Because it really leans into what makes a jump scare a JUMP SCARE.
These Spirit animatronic makeovers are 1000% what I come for, you madcraft wizards! Love to see what crawls, creeps and skitters out of the Wicked Makers lab.
Spirit totally redid their scarecrow after seeing yours!
this comment was made seconds ago
@@halloweenhangout Seconds ago from what?
@@indefiniteartblock434 The Comment
Yo spirit really has this now
still not as cool as this one !
@@stephaniefiguenick7435 IKR
Ok! This transformation was great! Looks 1000 times better than the factory product!
Would love to see more of these!
The little details you guys but into your projects is just amazing. Even if you had to use him as a static prop he’d still be beyond better than what came out of the box! 🖤
Your guys's house around Halloween has to be STUNNING.
Another amazing transformation !! I love this series so much, and I love the new ending where you show the before and after together, seeing it side by side is insane!
Awesome!!
He truly is gore-geous! Even though these animatronics should have a little extra put in, it's fun to dress them up yourself too :)
I’m a new sub but this is exactly the type of content I love so keep up the great work because this looks awesome. Can’t wait for the next vid like this🙂
Glad to hear it! 🤘🏼😄
You should start with going over all their previous stuff lol!!
@@KrazeeKraftZ I did haha
my favorite part of this whole project is how they made the head so much scarier, using the already included, but not used face underneath
I used to work in a Spirit Halloween, and it was my favorite job to have! I loved having the animatronics around to see how they worked, and watching customers get spooked was hilarious! (My favorite was the controllable spider that we called the store pet). I had no idea the scarecrow actually had a sculpted face underneath! Thats awesome! :D Your videos are so cool, and informative in a way! Oh, and its called a “seam ripper”!
Another excellent makeover of an existing prop. You said that it was pretty popular in your area, so if the kids see others first, then yours they'd get an extra surprise!!
Way to go!!
That is one of the few Spirit outa the box displays that is actually jump scare scary, and the y'all dialed it up by several magnitudes! Awesome! I really wish that you'd do a video of your yard the night of Halloween!
I always wonder if the kids think you're the coolest stop on the list or are completely freaked out? This one, I think you're actually going to terrify some kids. Some adults too! Excellent job!
Same! I also want to see their yard setup!
Out of all my animatronics for the past years the sitting scarecrow is the only one that's hasn't completely failed me or deteriorated
Lmao I love you guys. As an artist myself, I can totally relate to putting time and effort into a project and not having it work as intended or function properly but we always persevere :) the original scarecrow face was scarier without the burlap than with it! Lol but once again you guys knocked this one out of the ballpark! Love it!❤❤
Woohoo I've been waiting for another makeover!! SUPER excited for Lord Raven, I just went to Spirit for the first time in the season and I LOVED HIM
Holy crap, that's the stuff of nightmares!! I'm guessing your house is the one most kids in the neighborhood always want to visit - it would have been when I was young! Great job!
I gasped at the full head and face underneath and loved the analogy of finding hardwood floor underneath! They def must have had a bunch of molds those heads around 😂 amazing end result too, sooo cool!!
This definitely looks better and will get a better reaction when people walk up. If you two can find it, I recommend another spirit of Halloween prop called the widow neck break It's a woman with nice realistic features set in a scream. She standing just chilling but all of a sudden her neck just snaps. Love to see what you guys can do with her.
WOW, great job, you guys! A lot of imagination and inventiveness, especially with the face and hat. And the side-by-side at the end really shows how much work and artistry you put into it! My new favourite video channel! Keep up the good work!
Just discovered your channel this week and have been binging while cleaning and gardening. Absolutely in love with your content!
Edit: at 12:48 you can try using small sewing scissors. There are smaller scissors you can buy in sewing sections that are used for small details and thread. Gives you more control and better angles
An amazing transformation, 1000 times scarier than the original. In fact the sound effect now does it justice.
I found y’all on TikTok and now I’m obsessed. I love animatronics and this gives me so much serotonin
Final build came out great, looks super scary! Looking forward to Lord Raven too!
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Love these videos so much! I have to be honest though, as majestic as it was, I knew that big ass hat was a mistake as soon as I saw it 😅
Hahaha
You guys are on a roll! First the witch and now the sitting scarecrow. I love how much more detail goes into your makeovers. It makes these animatronics go from lame to creepy.
I kinda love that it has a speaker jack. They DEFINITELY planned for people to improve this thing.
Such an improvement on that scarecrow! 😍
As soon as I saw wicked makers posted i got super excited, love you guys !
🤘🏼😄
OMG YOU REPLYED 😁😁😄😄
Omg!! That thing is terrifying!! He actually looks a lot like scarecrow, and that is just horrifying!! 😱
Man I'm soo amazed. U always manage to make these props look 100x's better. I'm just stunned.
there is a theme park in England called Thorpe Park, and the Halloween event there is terrifying. One of their scare mazes is called the crows of mawkin meadows and it is worth a look. Also the new ghost train is full of inspiration.
Love the channel by the way!
Tekky just straight up stole this, absolutely shameless behavior 💀
As someone who owns a sitting scarecrow I can tell you that it doesn't come with the chair, that's the one thing you will have to provide yourself. I've seen many different videos of these in peoples haunts but never seen one as cool as yours, and that includes mine. Kinda wanna remake mine now.
Great job making Scarecrow look way better.
I swear, I’m so so glad RUclips recommended this channel I think I used to watch them when they made chicken wire sculptures for Halloween. As yesterday I was watching the recreation of the swinging girl & the witch, also the haunted mirror omg these young individuals never fail to impress! How I wish, I had the time & patience to do that with Halloween things knowing some look nice but they need a bit of improvement lol. Tysm for another amazing video, seeing the thumbnail is gonna be an amazing one being a scarecrow this time! I really hope y’all have an amazing Halloween when the day comes! Tysm for inspiring me & others! 🧡🖤🎃👻🍂
I was just about to mention a better audio, so I'm glad they had a jack output!
This was 2 years ago. Someone had one of those sitting scarecrows- BRO I WAS SP SCARED SEING THAT THING- THAT WOUKD SCARE THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF ME 😂 Very well done!
This is 100% for me. I found my forever costume at Spirit, a evil scarecrow mask that I'm working on as I was scrolling YT for inspiration for when i found you guys. Now I need to find this friend to sit next to me this Halloween.
Nice quick, effective paint job on the boots. I see so many maker videos where the maker just doesn't know how to paint.
This is badass. Great job y'all!!
Halloween is my birthday, and seeing people customize props and stuff to make them even scarier really makes me happy.
Wow! Y'all made him look 100X spookier!
I always love seeing the trial and error process y'all go through when making stuff.
Can't wait to see more! Loving the animatronic remakes!
Just found your channel and had the best time watching y'all with my morning coffee!
Such a great remake!
Thanks! 😄😄
This is so cool!! The face really seals the deal!! Keep up the great work I love what you all are doing!!
I'm glad you added in the hat difficulties, I know every single crafty person has been in that situation where the creative vision takes you somewhere and physics just goes "nope! not happening!". Overcoming that is all part of the process.
Went to a spirit yesterday and turns out they redid the mask and now they actually have that stitched smile like yours has. Seems you did a good enough to inspire the actual product.
spirit took ideas, new sitting scarecrow dropped
I love your prop makeovers. These make the Animatronic even cooler!
Wicked build it is so much creepier now. I prefer the slower motion because to me that is more realistic to a scarecrow. Very well done on this build love it.
You must be the luckiest guy on earth, calling this Lady your wife !👍👍👍💪💪💪♥️♥️♥️
In retrospect: this turned out to be pretty close to the remake.
Ahhh I have been looking forward to this one! He does look the Wizard of Oz scarecrow.
"If I only had your brainnnss!" 🌽🧠
I only watched this once, now I am addicted.
A MASSIVE improvement. A brilliant upgrade. So very well done, as usual. Cheers.
I Love ❤️ Halloween 👻
😄😄😄
y'all better have gotten a check from spirit halloween! They had to have taken inspiration from your design in their revamped version.
Huge and horrifying difference between the pre and post makeover!! Amazing!!
I love the upgrades you did on this guy. Looks way cooler. A thought I had to increase the brightness of the eyes without adding weight would be to paint the inside of the head white. It would reflect the light way better than the dark grey plastic giving the eyes a more intense glow even when using smaller lights.
You guys did a great job on this
The transformed one looks like that Batman scarecrow
Excellent idea to take store bought props and customize them to be unique. Everyone who buys these props should do this, but I don’t think they realize they can. Perhaps now they will be inspired to do so. Great idea for a series of videos!
This is awesome. I was thinking, instead of him sitting on a chair, prop him upright like an actual scarecrow. I think that would make him even more creepy.
As a weekday keyboard warrior and weekend DIYer, I've found that the paint-on band aid liquid is great for small cuts or puncture wounds (from, for example, a wire brush incident), since it seals well and lets you wash your hands without irritating it further.
You guys did it again... this looks so good im jealous 😫
😄😄😄
I CAN'T GET OVER HOW EPIC THIS NAKEOVER IS !!!!! GIVED ME A LOT OF INSPIRATION AND I THINK YOU SHOULD DO THE SAME WITH LORD RAVEN AND MORE OF SPIRT'S ANIMATRONICS
This is so awesome! This should be the new design for Scarecrow in The DCEU or The Nolanverse (God-willing)...
You guys are so talented! Subbed 👏🏼
🤘🏼😄
I got an email from Spirit for the new scary sitting scarecrow. Looked oddly familiar! 🤔
Yeah…😑
@@WickedMakerswhy you not happy?? Tbh you actually inspired Spirit Halloween! Great job!!!
@@silvamagic8808 Spirit halloween didn't even give them just a little bit of credit for inspiration for their new scarecrow look, and they should have.
bro maybe this just wanted to remake him maybe they havent seen this?
@@xK0RKST3Rx You actually don't know if they were inspired though, They plan their lineups 2 or a year in advance.
The kids in your neighborhood must LOVE you guys!
It’s crazy how the face under the burlap made the end result look way better
