A costume of Billy was added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for Warzone operator Morte as a part of The Haunting of Verdansk event. A costume of Billy was added to Call of Duty: Mobile for operator Morte as a part of Season 9 Nightmare. For Saw IV, the prop crew made the body of waterjet-cut foam, held together by metal rods. They used strong magnets to make a flat rear surface for the puppet so it could be easily positioned on any metal surface. The mouth and resin-filled ping-pong ball eyes were moved by remote control. Present day: A few days after the events of Saw V, Hoffman starts a new game that involves health insurance executive CEO William Easton. Easton dies. Under instruction from her husband, Jill puts Hoffman in a bear trap, which he survives.I made little indents in this gear for mounting to the servo. These were largely unnecessary, but made it look more complete. The main attachment points were the small holes on the servo "horn". I used very small M1.2 bolts through this horn, into the gear, which threaded itself and held fairly tightly. 3D printing isn't super accurate, and this was pretty apparent at this step. It took a little finaggling to get it to line up well enough for the bolts. It is all just plastic though, so a little force goes a long way. Mounting the Servo Rapper Hopsin's album Raw depicts Hopsin on a tricycle with his face painted to look like Billy. The album's title itself can be interpreted as a spoof of the film's title.

On the underside of the front fender is a single screw holding it on. Not the strongest mounting point, but probably good enough for my application. To move Billy around, a single geared DC motor was used. It makes for simple continuous motion and easy speed control when using PWM or a motor hat. Stealth and power are also concerns. The trike with Billy will have some heft to it, so the motor needs to be strong, but having a bigger motor makes it really obvious, which would take away from the scare factor.Billy's vehicle of choice is a children's tricycle. It's an old metal one that squeaks and rattles as it moves around, which just adds to the horror. I found the perfect tricycle on kijiji for cheap. It isn't exactly the same as the one in the movie, but the tricycle isn't the main focal point of Billy so most people don't notice. It also has a front fender, which helps hide some electronics, which we'll see later. Cleanup Although never actually identified in the films, "Billy" is the name by which writers, directors, and members of the cast and crew refer to it in documentaries and interviews. The name was given to it by Australian creator James Wan, who is the director and co-writer of Saw. Some claim that the name is spelled "Billie", though Wan himself spells it "Billy". [1] The endurance and popularity of the Saw franchise has resulted in Billy becoming a pop culture icon and the production of Billy merchandise. I found the initial model HERE. It was a really solid starting point, but needed a bunch of tweaking. I modified it to make it 3D printable using Blender. Added a little "shelf" around the mouth, leaving the option open for a mouth motor. Paint The film that popularised and solidified tricycles as a staple of Horror, however, is undoubtedly The Shining . Still considered by many to be one of the greatest horror films of all time, The Shining offers many bone-chilling scenes, with the scene involving a tricycle being one of the scariest.

The first game in the series, Saw, set between the first and second film in the series, was initially released on October 6, 2009, [78] [79] [80] with a sequel Saw II: Flesh & Blood, released on October 19, 2010, for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, ten days before the release of the seventh film, Saw 3D. [81] Experimental pop artist Eric Millikin created a large mosaic portrait of Billy out of Halloween candy and spiders as part of his "Totally Sweet" series in 2013. [6] [7] The last hole was the easiest. Just a single hole using a drill-press through the main frame, just behind the seat mounting point. This was a convenient access for any wires that needed to get to the control computer. Saw uses a tricycle in a direct tribute both to The Shining and The Omen , using it to indicate evil as was done in The Shining , and taking the red design of the tricycle in The Omen and copying it almost perfectly. The image of the child sized puppet approaching his victims on the blood-red tricycle has become synonymous with modern day Horror movies, and has brought the tricycle as a must-have Horror prop to a whole new audience.In the Internet series Annoying Orange, Billy appears in "Annoying Saw" and "Annoying Saw 2: The Annoying Death Trap", both in which Orange refers to him as " Clownface", " Emo Clown", and " Donald Trump". Saw – The Ride" is a Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter roller coaster themed around the franchise, which opened on March 13, 2009, at Thorpe Park in the United Kingdom. It features an enclosed dark ride section with special effects, before traveling outside and climbing a 100-foot vertical lift hill into a steep 100-degree beyond-vertical drop passing under large rotating saw blades. This was somewhat of a last minute decision to add this, but I'm really glad that I did. The first thing I did was drill a hole in the roof of the mouth and in the top of the jaw that would line up when closed. I tied some fishing line to a small piece of wood inside the jaw and strung it up through the holes. Alleged to have been created sometime around the 17th Century, the tricycle has a long history as an excellent alternative to the traditional bicycle. In the past, they were used by women to avoid their dresses catching in the enormous wheels of bikes such as the Penny-Farthing, as well as by those with physical disabilities who would struggle using a two-wheeled bicycle. Today, tricycles continue to be an excellent accessibility option for cyclists, but have also found a market amongst children, with many parents preferring the stability of an extra wheel. Saw: Game Over" was a 2009 Horror maze made by Universal Studios for Halloween Horror Nights, based on characters, traps and scenes from the films. [88] At the Universal Studios Hollywood rendition of Horror Nights it was titled Saw: Game Over, while at the Universal Studios Florida rendition, it was simply titled Saw.
