In the summer of 2022, we found a used Home Depot animatronic Halloween Witch for sale! Since we already have a bubbling witch’s cauldron, we thought she’d be a great addition to our 2022 Halloween decorations so we got to work unboxing and assembling her! This animated Halloween witch, made by Home Accents Holiday, features glowing red LED eyes, a motion sensor, and an animatronic rocking motion. She also cackles and says scary things about luring trick or treaters with candy! 😱
The rocking chair witch is a decent Halloween prop but we knew that with a little DIY love we could unleash her inner forest witch power and turn her into the terrifying hag she was truly meant to be. We’re so happy with how this epic prop redo turned out and we hope you enjoyed watching it! Let us know if there are any Halloween Animatronics you’d like to see us upgrade!

Going there right NOW!
I'm only 3 minutes in and I'm completely drawn in. I love your videos. You guys rock!
huge fan
Amazing. You guys can take something that is ok and make high quality fast 😍
I love you guys so so so much 😭❤😭❤😭❤
That's awesome, but I feel like that wig was wasted on the witch. Should have gotten another one and kept the glam wig for Jay to wear every video going forward. Such a missed opportunity.
Hahahh
🤣🤣🤣 roflmao
Agreed
😂😂
I was thinking Just cover it up with gause fabric or a veil hanging from the hat. That way the wig isn't altered just disguised & reusable. Granted I didn't think, like you, of Jay using it. Great Idea! ‼️ 🧟♀️
"Just because she's evil, doesn't mean she doesn't have style!"
I love the fact that you specifically set out to create a more dramatic, unique character vibe.
And yes, "ACCESSORIZE!!!"
Your results were awaesome, and the only note I could add, is thst I'd have loved to see a side-by-side "before and after".
Haha thank you!!!
Yes, I was thinking that same thing. Having that split screen of the original witch next to the finished witch. She looks wonderfully hideous.
That’s a great glow up, I’m liking these “renovation” type videos. That bit of elbow grease definitely brings the animatronics to the next level
Thanks! They’re a lot of fun
You people are so dumb you're killing the planet and don't even realise
This was great , she looks 1000 times better and the accessories really elevate her look! Amazing job guys!!!
Thank you!!!!
Grow up America where sick to death of you polluting the world with your silly toys acting like children
She legitimately looks like one of those people sitting there waiting to scare the kids like they pretend to be a fake Halloween prop. This looks like a person with a mask on and maybe some kind of gloves or like their hands have been painted. Turned out very cool. Looks great!
You know what is going to scare the kids when they don't have an environment to live in it which is what's going to happen if Americans keep buying toys from China
I recently bought a 2018 sitting scare witch from eBay and I definitely will do this to make her look much more realistic
Nice!!!
Good luck!
When I first saw the witch before the make over, I was like rolling my eyes at how cheesy she sounded because she just did not have that witchy vibe. Then once the makeover was complete, I was like actually really scared to look at her. She actually looks somewhat terrifying. If you just set her off somewhere in the woods on a foggy day, someone could be walking by when she suddenly goes off.
Yes!!!
I subscribed to wicked makers and think that you should *make* a *Lloyd* animatronic from *indigo park*
It’s a horror game ok so PLS make it
As someone who is obsessed with making animatronics look “real”, you guys did an INCREDIBLE job here. Don’t be upset if I end up using this for myself though - I kinda want to do this now!!!
Yes!! Do itttt
@@WickedMakers If I get my hands on a witch animatronic, you bet I will!!!
I need some fashion advice from that final result witch, she's got the folkhorror swamp witch vibe DOWN! The details like the rings and bone belt are great, amazing work!
Thank you 😄😄
Reminds me of one of my favorite old Scooby Doo cartoons; 'Which Witch is Which'! ^^
Thank you for poisoning the world so that Americans can act like children
Oh, as I am rewatching this, I heard him say you guys got really lucky on Market Place!!!! Only $20. that's a steal even without the Cord !!! Everyone has extra Cords!! I have a box just like his full of various Cords n things. You guys rock !!! Happy 🎃 Halloween !!!!!🎃
Yes!!!! 😄😄😄
also upvote for ridiculous cord stashes. my wife hates mine til it comes in handy
cord! NOT CHORD
I hope you realize it was most likely stolen from the store.
@@sinofren8406 the prop? It’s the 2017 version like we said. Def wasn’t stolen lol.
She's fantastic guys!! 2 thoughts...crackle medium for aging "wooden" things and she needs some swamp moss stuck in her hat. Either way, I LOVE HER!
Yes!!!
HOW AWESOME...I have the same witch...I too have tried to change her look, while your witch was in a purple dress, mine was in a orange dress that looked horrible. You guys have given me new ideas...Thank You for sharing/teaching 🙂 your witch is AMAZING 👍
Thanks!!!!
I don't know what I'm doing with my life that my wife and I aren't doing this. Great job!
Do ittttt
She looks fabulous!! Much scarier! So dope, I would love to encounter her during spooky season 👻 nice work y’all
Yesss!! Thanks 🤘🏼😄
I think you mean faboolous lol
For fucksake grow up you're killing the planet so you people can act like children I want to vomit
@@dave.p153 your comment has saved precious lives. Thanks for sharing 🙏
@@Ladylovesdogs I very much doubt it. 350 million Dopey yanks won't stop acting like children so we're screwed
Oh this was fantastic! Love that you upgraded her hands and face. Gotta do more of these! There are so many overpriced animatronic items from spirit that need makeovers. Or even changed into something different. Like a crappy looking zombie or clown into a werewolf or vampire maybe even a lifesize dead doll.
It’s so fun too!
Very cool, I love it. If only they could make better sounds for these animatronics. That's another one of my gripes. Why do they need to add all the other weird background sound effects, and make the voice sound like it's in a cavern? Just make it sound like what it is, as in this case, a witch sitting in front of you. The light-up eyes never made much sense to me either, but it's tolerable. Anyway, fantastic job, as usual. Jaimie, you are so awesome with those paint skills. It almost always looks like you start out just randomly putting paint in random places, then time lapse, and it now looks so realistic. Blows me away every time. Jay, great job on the structural additions. You guys definitely leveled this up to be worth what one would normally pay for it, maybe more. Thanks.
Thank you very much! Totally agree on the sound thing. We’re trying to figure out how to fix that.
Jay found a whole outfit at Goodwill. The jeans, Captain Business jacket, the snakeskin boots and the sun hat. Amazing 👌
Hahah yes
That’s the cleanest most organized goodwill I’ve ever seen , I work at one and clothes are on the ground within one hour of opening already
It juuust opened so they’ve done a good job keeping it tidy
She looks so great more the part and more expensive looking! 😀
Totally!!
Now you have a witch for your cauldron but now you need to make an automated cat for your witch next! Can't wait for your next video!
Yes!!!
the makeover that you gave the animatronic witch actually looks a whole lot better. before, she looked not-as-scary, but she actually looks scary!!
Yes!!!
I really admire you two and I'm glad you found each other. Thank you two and everyone else for being you 😍
Thank you!!! 😄
These makeovers are brilliant! The repainted mouth of that witch is enough to give me nightmares 😂
Amazing job you two!
Thank you!! 😄😄
You guys killed this one!!! So good. I love the way the spirit props let you add a better speaker, I would always do that. Not sure if the HD ones do. This one would benefit from that so much if you were savvy 👌🏻
Yeah great idea
Any of the svi doesn’t matter where their sold and 2016 and newer tekky prop have the speaker Jack probably most new props have it as well
I saw a teeny tiny animatronic like this at CVS today. Well, yesterday. She was pretty impressive for her size.
Hah cool!
Goodwill is one of my favorite stores to find good props! I work on a lot of plays in my town and sometimes I don't have time to order something online so goodwill is a great place to find something I can use. Great job one the witch. Will you all be showing your Halloween display for this year? Hope so would love to see it!😳
Yes! That’s great. We might. Depends on weather.
The little hint of sparkles in the hair give it an elderly magic vibe.
She looks so much cooler than just spooky generic witch. The dress swap and color palette were such a good choice. I like the little change of the hat too . Such a difference
It's amazing what you can do, when you put your mind to it.🎃
Yes!!!
@@WickedMakers Never stop at what you do, imagination is what you need at this time and age.
I like seeing you turn animatronics into better animatronics and I can wait to see what's next💀👻🎃
It’s so much fun 😄
There's something rather poetic about how refined and gentle the process of making something look disgusting is
Love it !! She looks like a swamp witch :)
Yes!!!
I’m so happy to see a second one of these! I watch a lot of doll repaints and because I love the spooky and creepy I’ve been wanting to see some animatronic spruces. Love it!!
That witch looks like something from resident evil village you guys did an amazing job keep up the great work :)
Nice!! That’s quite a compliment 😄
Y'all really told the story of this witch just by the look you chose for her and that's amazing.
😄😄😄
"just because she's evil doesn't mean she's doesn't have style". Making me think of the Wicked Witch of the West's socks and shoes 😂 👠👠
Great job as always! She looks so much better now!! 🤩
Thank youuuu
Another amazing (and hysterical) transformation. Y’all’s imagination is so fun. I’ll bet the kids in your neighborhood flock to your house. I get lots of kids too but that’s just because I give out full size candy bars.
Haha thank you! 😄😄😄
Now I desperately want to do this! Definitely buying one and going for it with my wife! She’ll love it as much as I do. Thank you lovelies for the inspiration & giving my wife and I a craft to enjoy together! 🥰🖤🤗 Much love!!
PS: You’ve got a new sub! 🖤
Thank you!! 😄
Huge improvement with the witch! And I love that you did it all inexpensively.
Thank you!! Yeah it doesn’t take much
OMG! I love her! I want her! You guys are awesome.
I just found you guys 2 months ago and watched all your videos before and now your new ones. You guys rock and I wanna recreate all the things you guys have. I want Pirates in my yard and a witch on my porch.
I wanna come play at your house lol 😆 😜
Thank you!!! So glad you found us
This has always been my dream! I always go to spirit Halloween and I'm shocked at how expensive those animatronics are (not to mention cheap looking!) My husband and I make costumes or upgrade bought ones. Like last year our son wanted to be his own Funko pop. We built a huge box that rolled. It even had plexiglass to resemble the clear plastic. I hand painted all the artwork, and we put those LED lights that you can put on the back of your TV so you could see him at night. My husband wanted a human pig hybrid mask to be a psycho butcher pig. I ordered one off of Amazon and it was piglet pink. I repainted it (my first time trying that) and it came out so good! I am excited to try more things like that! Great job on the witch!
Awesome!!! That’s great
😂”This is WAAAY bigger than I thought…” She said sweetly!😂‼️
My wife thinks I am crazy for saving cords, this video validates my reasons 🤣😂An awesome prop for sure! Can't wait to see what's next!
Hahah yes!!!
I don't know what to say, you guys transformed the witch to an incredible display. The accessories are a great touch 👌🏾
Thanks!!
That wig! 😂 I love how you transformed her. Looks awesome!
Hahaha yes!!
This is such an amazing transformation! I personally would have added tears to the bottom of the dress and sleeve holes and rubbed mud on it. But you guys have inspired me and I think I'll do a decoration transformation for Halloween!
Wow she looks so much more realistic! And the fringe on the shawl adds great movement. So cool!
Sick makeover, fellas! I'd love to see you two customize a new animatronic from this year. Preferably Torture Box Woman from Party City or Bag o' Bones from Spirit Halloween. Happy Haunting!
Thanks! 😄🤘🏼😄
She looks absolutely amazing!! Love how you guys accessorized her!! Does she have a name?? I got 2 cart fulls of Halloween stuff last year from GW and a creepy old rocking chair to boot! I think I'm gonna need a bigger shed! 🤣
Hahah nice!! No name yet. Any ideas?
Witch Hazel! As in the classic old school Bugs Bunny cartoons.😊First she's nice, then she's naughty!
@@WickedMakers gertude
@@WickedMakers wait .... she's an old hag.......maybe Hagatha???
Hagatha! 😂
Sunday night with the family gathered around a phone, watching Wicked Makers do their finest work. Absolutely incredible job! Thank you for all you do. Please keep the videos coming and the shorts rock too!
The under adjustments like the Noodles made her move more realistically 😳
Major glow-up! Love this idea! Can't wait to see more!
Yessssss
This looks SO COOL! Great job making this into something so unique and scary! I love Goodwill (and other thrift stores). So much gets discarded these days--you can find almost anything at thrift if you keep your eyes open. Also--your dollar store still only charges a dollar? Ours has gone up to $1.25! Probably a different chain, but still--I feel ripped off (as if $1.25 were a lot to pay lol)
Thanks!! I think technically they were $1.25 haha
What an awesome transformation!!! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
Thanks for watching!
Holy crap I would love to have that halloween prop in my yard. Ur upgrades make it look sooo awesome.
Thanks!
That "jump scare" when you first turned her on was hilarious!
I'm not a fan of the fake birds. She looks great, but the birds, no so much.
Haha yeah totally freaked us out because we thought for a second it didn’t work.
This is amazing!!!🙌🏻totally upgraded that witch to a whole new level!
Yessss thanks!
Wow the accessories really made it look so much better! The little ravens and the pendant swinging looks cool when shes rocking.
Can I just say that every time I see one of these things appear at a store for Halloween, they are basically 'blah', as in not scary at all! LOVE her new look! Reminds me when people put in the effort for Halloween and she's a perfect piece to any haunted house! Thanks for showing this! ^^
Y’all did such a great job on this one! I love how it turned out! Y’all are awesome!
Thanks JM! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🎃
All it's missing is a black cat sitting beside her chair!
I like how iam terrified of the Halloween animatronics irl but i enjoy watching people customize them
Wow! That new witchy makeover looks marvelous! You guys really outdid yourselves with this! I love the new look!💖😍
We have the same witch that we bought new. Last year her back broke and she won’t rock anymore 😢 I’m loving the idea of giving her a makeover. Even if she doesn’t rock, she will still talk and scare the visitors 🖤 thanks for the inspiration!
Yeah totally still worth it!!
I Love ❤️ Halloween 🎃
Great job. She looks so much more realistic. Wish I could find stuff like this.
Thanks!
This transformation is insane. It looks soooooo much better
Thanks!!!
You are cool 😎
Wow!!! I'm always impressed by how everything comes together SO well!
Just showed my wife your videos recently from Facebook as well as finding on UA-cam and let me tell you, from the scarecrow to this witch I was absolutely stunned and jealous of your fine talent! You guys are amazing and hopefully I will be able to work on stuff like this.😊
As long as you guys have the right voltage, having a plug that has more amps is ok. Yes I'm like you, I keep plugs and broken electronics for parts! Also thriftshop for stuff like that!
Yes!!! We ended up at 700mA instead of the 1.5a it wanted but seems ok.
@@WickedMakers The risk you could run into is if the witch pulls more than the 700mA which is .7A, the plug could over heat. Fire risk. I love your projects!!!!
You did a great job making this decoration more detailed. That part takes talent. however you should be consider of other peoples faiths and spirituality. It's bad enough that the classical image of the "witch" is done like this when this is new age spiritual path. However the fact you put a pentacle around her neck, with the point up no less when she is clearly supposed to be depicted as scary and evil is insensitive and offensive to those who walk new age paths. The pentagram and pentacle have a long history in human culture, and more recently the symbol is associated with balance, harmony and protection, using it like this for a prop is just wrong IMO.
Wow! Glad to see you repurposed what you could find. The witch looks amazing. Looking forward to your next project.
Again, well done. You guys are so talented. I love that you are willing to share your art with others and show that you have fun doing it. Thanks for creating wonderful content. I appreciate the inspiration you give me.
Thanks John! Glad to hear it. 👊🏼👊🏼
This is my favorite animatronic you guys have made over! The scarecrow a close second. Love them! You give them more realism and personality! Cant wait to see more!
Your guys’ costume weathering and attention to detail is an impressive joy to watch 😊
I have her! She so needs a makeover and you've given me some great ideas. Thanks for sharing her transformation.
This came out amazing! I love the way the witch looked in the end. So cool!
She looks way better! Great Job!🎃👍🏼
Thanks!
I love this transformation, so creative!!!! Y'all are inspiring us so much this year. We're going to Goodwill and Spirit Halloween next weekend and I can't friggin wait!!!!!
Awesome!!!!!
Night and day difference. Absolutely amazing!
Why wouldn't halloween store animatronics look more like this!? You guys are amazing!
Thank you!!
Fabulous! I love how it came out, she looks much better now.
I cant even believe how spectacular your witch turned out!!
I can't tell you how satisfied I was while watching this. Hope you'll do more of these❤
😄😄😄
This is my new favorite series- these Halloween makeovers are great to hold me off from decorating until we get to late September
Awesome!!
This is giving me SO much inspiration! I'll be binge-watching the rest of your videos now.
Awesome!
That witch is ready for Coachella. Love it.
Hahaha yesssss
She’s amazing! Absolutely great job!!
Oooo! She looks MUCH happier! Most commercial products meet a minimum of quality and materials as a function of economics and ANY amount of personalized makeover will generally make it better. Granted, it's takes some time and creativity but if you put in the effort, you can come out with an outstanding and unique prop that no one else has. Your witch looks infinitely better than its just-out-of-the-box assembly; great attention to detail, especially the jewelry! It's those little, subtle touches that can make it a truly great prop. Congrats.
Such a difference. She's a whole new witch. I have an inexpensive witch that I bought last year who I plan on padding out with pool noodles and a new dress so she'll look a little better. This helped me get some ideas on what to do. She didn't come with a hat but I randomly added a fascinator that was laying around and it looks so silly that I left it on. I don't have a budget because I snatched up one of the Raven Lords from a Spirit store on opening day. He is awesome. Neighbors will love him. Keep doing what you do.
Awesome!! So excited to mess with lord raven when it finally arrives
Looking forward to it.
Bro, I have that EXACT animatronic and I used to be terrified of the witch. I think it was because of her glowing eyes and the fact that she is motion detected. Scared the absolute heck out of me whenever I passed her.
Haha nice!!
Wow. What a great transformation. She looks amazing.
Thanks!
I love what you guys did with the witch to make it over!!
I loooved how she turned out!!!!!
😄😄😄😄
She turned out much better, great job and you guys are hilarious together. Thanks for the inspiration
I love watching these videos! I don't think I'd be able to create anything like this because my DIY projects never turn out as planned and they look very unprofessional. 😅
Love what you have done with the witch! She looks so much better and creepier now! 👍🏾
THIS IS SO COOOL. Why have I never thought of doing this? I'm in Film/TV/SFX school right now and this would be a great way to practice my prosthetic painting in a fun way.
