I turned a Skeleton Santa animatronic that I bought from Home Depot into a Jack Skellington Animatronic from Nightmare Before Christmas! This DIY Jack Skellington Animatronic was a passion project of mine, and if you've always wanted to learn how to build a Jack Skellington Animatronic, I hope you find this video useful, or at least entertaining. I'm excited to have the most chilling Jack Skellington Halloween decor in my neighborhood this year. Muahahahaha!

Side note, don't you love how the first sentence of this video is "It's April right now..." and I couldn't get this video out until June? Maker problems! Still getting the hang of this youtube thing, but I'll get faster. Thanks for watching and for supporting my journey :)

This project was inspired by the YouTube channel, Wicked Makers (   / @wickedmakers  . If you haven't seen their content, check them out!
