AI Analog Horror Video from a Still Photo
Turn a photo of an empty room, a hallway or an old doll into an AI analog horror video: VHS grain and tracking lines, the lights dim, and a shadow moves at the far end.

What it is
Old tape, a quiet room, and a shadow that should not be there
The clip looks like footage from an old camcorder: soft focus, grain, flicker and tracking lines rolling through the frame. The lights dim and a dark shadow slowly moves at the far end of the scene. Nothing jumps out at you; the mood is quiet and unsettling, in the found-footage style analog horror is known for.
Good inputs are places and objects with depth and shadow: a long hallway, a stairwell, an empty bedroom at night, a doll on a shelf, an old mirror. Darker photos with one light source tend to work better than bright, flat ones, because the shadow needs somewhere to move.
How it works
How to make the analog horror video
- 1Choose a dark, quiet photo
A room, hallway, doll or object, with some depth behind it. JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC up to 10 MB.
- 2Upload it
Confirm the photo is yours to use. Add a line to the prompt box if you want a specific detail, such as a door creaking open.
- 3Keep Fast or pick Standard
Fast is preselected, silent and covers your free video today. Standard adds sound and uses credits.
- 4Generate and download
Follow the stages on the page, then download the MP4.
What does not work well
- Bright, evenly lit photos lose the mood. The effect needs dark corners for the shadow to move through.
- Signs, labels and screens in the photo often warp into nonsense text.
- Short AI clips handle slow, quiet movement better than action: a chase or a jump scare tends to smear.

FAQs about Analog Horror
Is the AI analog horror video free?
Yes. Fast is preselected, and your first video today is free on it: one a day per device, two with a free account, 5 seconds at 720p, silent, for personal use. Standard adds sound and uses credits; see pricing.
What should I photograph?
A place or an object rather than a person: a hallway, a stairwell, a basement door, a doll, a mirror. Your own photos work best.
Can I write my own prompt?
Yes. Leave the box blank to run the preset, or type one extra detail, like a light flickering out, and it is added to the preset. Prompts are checked first: sexual content and real people named in a prompt are refused, and graphic violence can be too.
Is there sound, and how long is the clip?
Fast clips are silent, so the picture does the work; Standard clips come with sound the model generates with the picture. Clips are 5 seconds, or 10 on a paid plan or credit pack.
Can I use it in a video I sell?
Videos made on a paid plan or with a credit pack can be used commercially. Free videos are for personal use.
