Video Prompt

A family's basement door keeps opening on its own every night at 3 AM. They install locks, wedge chairs under the handle, even nail it shut — but every morning it's wide open, and something at the bottom of the stairs is counting their footsteps.

How It Works

1

Write Your Prompt

Start with a short description of your story idea. Keep it simple — a sentence or two is all you need.

A little fox in an enchanted forest hoards acorns until a hungry squirrel family teaches him the joy of sharing.

2

AI Optimization

Our AI expands and optimizes your prompt — adding scene structure, narration flow, and visual direction for the best results.

Scene 1: A copper-furred fox darts between mossy oaks, stuffing golden acorns into his burrow. Scene 2: A tiny grey squirrel knocks on his door, eyes wide with hunger...

3

Video Generation

AI generates narrated video scenes with visuals, voiceover, and sound for each part of your story.

"Deep in the enchanted forest, Felix the fox had a secret — a burrow overflowing with golden acorns he refused to share with anyone..."

4

Final Assembly

Narration, visuals, transitions, captions, and music all come together into your finished video.

Voiceover + AI video scenes + word-by-word captions + gentle background music = your finished 1-minute story video.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this basement horror story work as a video?
The story builds dread through a simple, relatable premise: a door that will not stay closed. Each scene escalates the tension, making it perfect for short-form video.
Can I choose how the story ends?
Yes. After the AI generates the video, you can edit the final scene in the Framesurfer editor. Leave it ambiguous, add a twist ending, or extend the story.
Is this story too scary for younger audiences?
The story is atmospheric and suggestive rather than graphic. Use the Mysterious intensity setting for a gentler version, or Intense for full horror atmosphere.
What visual style does the AI use for indoor horror?
The AI generates dim, realistic interiors with careful lighting: warm kitchen scenes contrasted with the cold darkness beyond the basement door.
