Night Of Horror

Inspiration

I’ve always been fascinated by the folklore of Southeast Asia — especially the Thai urban legends about cursed roads, restless spirits, and ghostly passengers that never leave a taxi. The concept for Night of Horror came from blending that cultural folklore with modern urban life in Bangkok.

What inspired me most was the idea of taking something ordinary — a late-night taxi ride — and turning it into a nightmare where every turn of the road feels haunted.

What I Learned

Through this project, I learned how to use AI creatively, not just as a tool, but as a collaborator. I explored AI image generation for cinematic shots, experimented with prompts to achieve continuity between frames, and used AI voice synthesis to build a believable late-night radio show atmosphere. It was also a deep dive into scriptwriting, subtitling, and how sound design elevates horror.

How I Built It

Storyboarding and scriptwriting were done manually first, inspired by Thai ghost stories.

AI image generation was used to create cinematic stills: the taxi driver, haunted roads, cursed passengers, and monster-like entities.

AI voice synthesis created the late-night radio dialogue (male and female hosts) that sets the story’s tone.

Editing tools were used to arrange visuals into a cinematic trailer format.

Soundscape and background tracks came from Epidemic Sound, providing tension, atmosphere, and a polished horror film vibe.

Challenges

The biggest challenge was keeping continuity across images — ensuring the same taxi driver, consistent tone, and believable horror atmosphere. Prompt engineering was key, as well as adjusting lighting, camera angles, and composition. Another challenge was balancing Thai folklore authenticity with global accessibility so that the film feels scary even if you don’t know the myths.
