A sample: Ride or Die, made from two photos.
Make your ownWhat a Halloween zombie video is
It’s the AI zombie trend, posted for Halloween: 15 seconds in which one of you has turned, the other can’t let go, and the video hard-cuts to a warm memory of the two of you. It’s tender rather than gory, which is why people share it instead of scrolling past. What the AI zombie trend is.
Pick who’s in it
- Your partner, if you always do matching costumes.
- Your best friend, the one you go out with every 31st.
- Your dog or cat, who would still follow you around.
- Your mum or dad, who made every costume you wore as a kid.
Each video has two leads: two people, or a person and a pet. For a group, make one with each friend and post them as a series.
Make it step by step
- Open the Halloween zombie video maker. It opens on the abandoned mall at night.
- Choose two people or you and your pet, then who it’s for: partner, best friend, parent, sibling, dog or cat.
- Add two photos, one person or pet in each, facing the camera in good light. Which photos work best.
- Pick who turns, then the shape: 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 16:9 for YouTube.
- Generate. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes, and you can leave the page while it renders.
- Download the MP4. The sound is already in and there’s no watermark.
Post it before the 31st
- Post between the 24th and the 30th. On the 31st itself the feed is full.
- Add a Halloween line, like “Best costume this year. Worst ending.” More in Halloween zombie video ideas.
- Put this year’s costume photo in the next slide, so the video leads into the party.
- Keep it PG-13. Pale skin and clouded eyes read as turned without blood, and gory videos are more likely to be age-restricted.
Questions
How long does an AI zombie Halloween video take to make?
About 5 to 10 minutes to render once you have two photos. You can leave the page while it renders: the video is saved to your account and you get an email when it’s ready.
Can I make an AI zombie Halloween video for free?
You can put one together yourself with the free tiers of general AI image and video tools, but it takes two stills, several clips and an edit with the cut on the beat. On AI Zombie each video comes from a one-time pack, and two photos give you the finished 15 seconds with sound.
Which setting looks most like Halloween?
The abandoned mall at night: dead escalators, flickering neon and cold blue light. The other three worlds, an abandoned street in falling ash, a snow-buried town and an empty metro platform, work for Halloween too.
