How to Create Horror Stories AI Videos
Start with a hook ("I should have trusted my gut that night...")
Build tension slowly with pacing and pauses
Use dark, eerie looping backgrounds (abandoned places, fog)
Add subtle sound effects (creaking, whispers)
End with a twist or cliffhanger
Best Practices
- ✓ Use first-person perspective for immersion

- ✓ Create series with recurring themes or characters
- ✓ Respond to comments with "Part 2?" to gauge interest
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ✗ Revealing the scare too early—slow burn wins
- ✗ Using cliché horror tropes (it was all a dream)
