Halloween enthusiasts, meet Halloween aficionado Oscar (in a mask).
Oscar told BuzzFeed he has loved Halloween since he was a kid. He has always made his own costumes and began carving elaborate pumpkins about 20 years ago.
However, about 15 years ago, Oscar took his love for Halloween up a notch when he started creating his own animated props. "I began putting a few props on my porch and outside, but since the weather in Wisconsin is iffy in October, I started setting up in my garage about five years ago to stay out of the potential elements," he said.
What is most impressive, though, is Oscar hand-makes all of his animatronics. "Some prop ideas I get from others on the internet and Halloween forums, but others are 100% my design/creation," he said.
Since then, he has been letting people enter and walk (or run) through his garage to get a scare. "I do not charge any money. I just do it for fun," he added. But, a few days ago, when he decided to share a video of what his garage looked like last year, over 15 million people were left in shock.
...People were amazed at his skill level but also terrified at how realistic the props looked. So, as a disclaimer, it is probably best not to watch the video if you're around a child.
Before entering, you are greeted with a seemingly fun little candy claw machine...
But joke's on you 'cause this li'l creep will pop out right when you try to use it:
Inside the garage, you will see Oscar's animatronic Reaper Puppet Master:
His Axe Door Murder prop that literally makes axe markings in the wall like the murderer is trying to bust out to get you:
Along the way, you'll spot creepy little props like this:
And this:
You'll also see a man who has been chained and chopped up trying to free himself:
As well as Oscar's addition from last year called Pepper's Ghost Illusion:
But the one that has left most people wide-eyed is what Oscar calls the Creepy Climber...
It is a woman trying to climb an electric fence:
And then getting electrocuted:
It is absolutely nightmare-inducing:
Obviously, after seeing the viral video, people couldn't believe Oscar made everything himself.
And it was agreed that his garage haunted house is better than a lot of the ones you pay for:
Right now, he has over 15 props, but he has to rotate them since he only has so much room in his garage. "I always showcase my newest prop and then cycle through the other props each year, trying to always keep the crowd favorites," he shared.
