Halloween 2026 is Saturday 31 October. The day before is Friday. This page is only about clips you can aim at with effects that already exist here. It is not a list of costumes we can generate.
Three effects are the Halloween set. Samples and the gaps are collected on the Halloween hub.
AI Zombie: one person, three scenes
AI Zombie takes one photo and a template. The three published templates are Corridor officer, Rainy street, and Turning. Each published sample is 15 seconds, vertical, with sound. The price table lists 45 credits. Generate is open.
Use it when the joke or the costume is "I am the zombie" or "I am the person in that hallway." It will not stage two people. A couple, a proposal, or a before-and-after of two faces needs a second performer in the same frame, and this effect does not do that. Details are in zombie couple videos.
Two of the templates include guns. If you post them, check the platform's rules and label the clip as AI-generated. The scenes are original. They are not footage from a film or a game. Background on the movie zombie, and on Resident Evil (2026), is in the Halloween 2026 zombie guide and on the topic page.
Thriller Dance: a silent group routine
Thriller Dance takes one photo. You lead a zombie-style group dance. Two templates are published: Skeleton hallway (vertical) and Zombie street (horizontal). Both samples are 15 seconds and silent. The price table lists 50 credits. A render is usually ready in about 2 to 4 minutes.
The silence is the product, not a missing file. The clip does not contain APT., "Alors on danse", "Smalltown Boy", "Tip Toe Wing In My Jawwdinz", or any other named recording. If you want music, add a track you have the right to use when you post. We do not offer a dance template for those songs. The song pages are linked from trends.
This is a group of dancers behind one uploaded face. It is not a couple shot, and it is not a character from a film you name in a prompt. There is no prompt on this effect.
Survival Horror AI: one photo, one sample
Survival Horror AI takes one photo and builds a 15-second vertical scene: rain, a flashlight, zombies. The effect page publishes a 15-second vertical sample with sound, made from an AI-generated test face. The price table lists 50 credits. The usual render time given for it is about 2 to 4 minutes. The scene is original and is not affiliated with Capcom or Sony. Framing for that still, and a frame-by-frame note on the published file, is in Survival Horror photo tips.
That sample is not the short on the Resident Evil (2026) topic. The topic short is a fan-made clip, labeled as fan-made, and it is not the output of this effect. Do not download that short and present it as what Survival Horror AI renders.
Photo rules for all three are in how to pick the input photo: JPEG, PNG, or WEBP, up to 10 MB, one face.
Ideas that stay inside the catalog
These are uses of the effects above, not new products:
- One person turning, via the Turning template, for a costume reveal.
- One person in the corridor or the rainy street, if the post can carry the horror imagery.
- One person leading the silent dance, with a song added later from a library you are allowed to use.
- One person as the survivor in the rainy scene, if Generate is open on that effect.
Ideas we will not pretend to run: a shared zombie date, a pumpkin for a head, a vampire cape routine, or a shot that recreates a named song's choreography. Those are not in the catalog.
How to post one of these
- Pick the effect on the Halloween hub and watch the sample if that effect has one.
- Use one agreed photo that meets the upload rules.
- Generate only if the effect page shows a price and an open render. Waitlist means stop.
- Label the result as AI-generated. Do not call it a clip from a film, a game, or a music video.
