For story channels and short-film makers
From a story to a short film
One episode, one scare, ready to post.
Your story, shot by shot
Each line of the script becomes a shot on the storyboard. Keep a shot as a still picture, or turn it into an 8-second moving clip for the moment that needs motion.
Write it or let AI draft it
Paste a creepy story you wrote, or ask for a draft from a premise. Either way every line stays editable before anything is generated.
Narration and dialogue
Voice a narrator and the characters with stock voices, a cloned voice or your own ElevenLabs voices.
Suspense, not gore
Lean on silence, shadows and what the camera does not show. Generators can refuse graphic prompts, so a quiet scare works better here too.
Any visual style
A realistic cinematic short, an anime horror short or an illustrated one: the genre works with every look.
Wide or vertical
Render 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, or both, with subtitles burned in or as separate files.
From a story to a short film
Three steps for one finished scare.
Set the scene
Pick the Horror genre, a visual style and a format, and describe the main character and the place.
Add the story
Paste your story as a script, or let AI draft it. Edit the shots until the pacing feels right.
Generate and render
Make the pictures and voices, add motion to the key moments, then render with subtitles.
AI horror short film FAQ
How long is a horror short film?+
It follows your script: each line is a shot, and a moving clip lasts 8 seconds. Shots left as pictures last as long as their line is spoken. There is no fixed running time.
Can I turn a creepypasta or a story I wrote into a video?+
Yes, if the story is yours or you have the right to use it. Paste it as a script and every spoken word stays as written, with a voice for the narrator and each character.
Can it be a one-off, or does it have to be a series?+
A short film is one episode. You can stop there, or add a second episode later that continues the story with the same cast.
Which looks can I use for a horror short?+
Any of them: realistic cinematic, anime, cartoon, 3D animated or illustrated. The genre and the look are separate choices.
What does a horror short film cost?+
Writing or pasting the script and setting up the cast use no credits. Pictures, voices, moving clips and renders do, and the app shows the cost of each step before it runs. Generating needs a credit pack or a monthly plan; a subscription is not required.
Do I need a subscription?+
No. You can pay as you go: credit packs are one-time purchases and their credits never expire. If you would rather have a steady supply, the monthly Starter ($8.99), Creator ($19), Pro ($49) and Brand ($99) plans refill your credits each month, and you can cancel anytime. Unused monthly credits do not roll over.
