Scary Movie Halloween | Social Short | Ghostface

Inspiration

This project was inspired by classic slasher films — especially the Scream franchise — and the fun, over-the-top energy of Halloween social media content. The idea was to mix horror aesthetics with short-form storytelling, creating something spooky, cinematic, and shareable.

What it does

Scary Movie Halloween | Social Short | Ghostface is an AI-generated short video that reimagines the iconic Ghostface character in a modern, stylized Halloween setting. It captures the suspense and atmosphere of a horror trailer but in a quick, punchy format perfect for social platforms.

How we built it

Created visuals using Higgsfield Popcorn for consistent horror-inspired imagery, then animated with Grok Imagine to add motion and tension. Finally, I stitched everything together in CapCut, timing the cuts, sound effects, and pacing to match the eerie, suspenseful mood of a Halloween teaser.
