Halloween 2023 is just over a month away, and we’ve been super busy with a bunch of DIY Halloween decorations and Halloween Animatronic makeovers. In this video, we’ll show you how to make The Other Mother for your Halloween haunt.

The Other Mother (The Beldam) is the villain from one of our favorite stop motion movies, Coraline. She’s a demonic, shape-shifting creature whose final form is a skeletal spider-like woman. We’ve gotten a ton of requests to make Coraline’s Other Mother, and we think that Spirit Halloween’s new Animatronic, Darling Dolly, will make the perfect base for this animatronic makeover.

To turn Darling dolly into the Other Mother, we’ll reshape her back and giver her a brand new costume made with fabric and EVA foam. We’ll sculpt over Darling Dolly’s head with Epoxy Sculpt to create the Beldam’s cracked and pointed features. Her fingers will be replaced with oversized sewing needles and her arms are sculpted with foam clay. Some paint, button eyes, and a new wig will complete her look.

We love how our Other Mother makeover turned out. Let us know in the comments what you think!

Scary Halloween DIY decorations are our jam, so if you want to learn a ton of techniques and get ideas for how to haunt your house or yard, check out the other videos on our channel. We have everything from simple DIY Halloween projects, to animatronic makeovers, to epic original Halloween props. We love to show you how to take Halloween decorations from Spirit Halloween, Home Depot, and Lowes and turn them into one-of-a-kind spooky creations.

Thank you all for your support, and until next time, Stay Wicked!!

For future reference, pretty much any clothing you pull off of an animatronic is going to be acrylic/polyester/basically just plastic, so if you want to dye it a different color, you need a dye for synthetic fabrics. Rit DyeMore or iDye Poly are both good options, remember to wear a respirator, you dye with boiling water when doing synthetics and the fumes are no joke

Your sculpting skills are amazing! The entire project is stunning!
Your yard is going to be fabulously terrifying this Halloween; she's one of the scariest things you've ever made!

[matthewgarcia]

This is amazing! I would love to see Emily from Corpse Bride next 🦋

[Izzy-cpyt]

This turned out absolutely STUNNING!! Jamie, you REALLY underestimate your sculpture skills time and time again. And Jay, the swinging ams was a great idea - it's like she's reaching and trying to grab you!
Fantastic job, as usual 👏

[Voyher_]

I love that you kept in all the footage of you figuring it out in real time!!
A lot of DIYs remove the experimental / exploratory parts of executing a project to make it appear more polished. But a huge part of being a creative is pivoting and problem-solving

I love this concept! Also Jaime, your hair does look fantastic! It took me a few minutes into the video to see for sure it was dyed an not just lighting, suits you so well and fits the season as well! The end result is absolutely incredible, you guys aced this! The sculpture work really turned out so good, really sells it! The whole silhouette is perfect and the slightly swaying arms give it this very creepy reaching dynamic fantastically suiting her.

As soon as I saw Other Mother in the title and Darling Dolly in the first few seconds of the video, I nearly fell out of my chair. Wicked Makers is always living up to their name and making something wicked. Lo and behold, this came out looking absolutely gorgeous. Awesome job as always, you guys! And Jaimie— that face sculpt turned out amazing 🎃🎃

[MS_]

You’ve outdone yourselves on this one. She looks AMAZING !!!! I’d love to see y’all make Sally or Jack that would be a nice project to do closer to Christmas if you’d like.

[deezwaffles]

What better way to celebrate the spooky season than with these guys! You guys are awesome you really inspire me to be creative

[nevsneedles]

I like how Jamie pleated the fabric over the back structure so prettily. You both have such great attention to detail.

[jenniferaddison]

Mind blown! Please don’t EVER discount your sculpting skills! You are an artist for sure. She’s terrifying.

[ravenmouse]

It looks epic! I think if you added some glue to the hair and make "thicker" strands in some spots it would look closer to the hair in the animation.

[sandrajackson]

This turned out incredible. I really love your videos because you both may banter and tease but in the moments when you reassure each other, it shows how caring you both are 🥺 Can't wait to see what you come up with next to scare us with...

[potcakepups]

As a kid I watched all kinds of horror movies and they never bothered me half as much as the other mother from Coraline did. I'm not sure what it was in particular about her but man she terrified me. This thing looks so awesome that it would scare me now and I'm in my 20s lol so cool. Glad I'm not in your neighborhood on Halloween. Spooktacular job as always

[faith_m_giles]

When she straightens up starting at 20:08, the slow movement makes her look like she's real and not an animatronic. Very scary, but oh so awesome!! Amazing work 👏🏻

[JackedUpBuilds]

Great as always! I would have never thought to turn darling dolly into the other mother! Y’all did great! Can’t wait to see what’s next now we are entering October soon!

[amandaggogo]

Each time I watch one of these I think "There's no way it'll be better than their last build, but here ya'll are, absolutely knocking it out of the park again! This build was fantastic, all the little details really makes this look just like the other mother!

[Lemonmatronics]

Coraline is my favorite movie of all time and I ADORE The Beldam’s design so much, seeing you bring her to life feels so surreal. I love it!!! Beautiful work as always <3

[LadyDragonious]

Every build I think, "This is amazing! Best yet! My favorite!" But this one, dang! I'm so impressed how much she looks like the other mother! I know my try wouldn't be half as good, but I am so inspired to try!

[kfynae]

This turned out so amazing! I love Coraline! You are both so creative and you never give yourself enough credit for your skills. The sculpt of her face turned out so good!
