AI zombie trend video generator

It is a run of short AI videos, mostly on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, posted in October 2026 ahead of Halloween. The best-known version shows two people: one has turned into a zombie, the other lowers their guard instead of running, and they hug.

Add your photo, then a second photo of the other person. The person in the first photo becomes the zombie and the person in the second photo hugs them. Both people must have agreed to take part.

It is the same idea in a shorter form: one 5-second shot that ends in the hug, without the cut to a memory scene that some longer versions add.

The prompt asks for no blood, no gore and no weapons. The zombie has grey-green skin, dark veins and milky white eyes, so the clip is spooky rather than graphic.

The video starts from your photo, so the first moment is you. As the change spreads, the model often replaces much of the face with a generic zombie face, and the person can become hard to recognize. A clear, front-facing photo keeps the most likeness.

Add one clear photo of yourself, and a second photo of a friend for the two-person version (with one photo you can also choose a pet), agree to the photo rules and press the button. The video model needs 15 to 60 seconds. Then play the 5-second clip and download the MP4. You do not write a prompt or install an app.

One video a day is free, with no sign-up. After that, 1 video is $4.99 and 5 videos are $14.99 ($3.00 a video), paid once. See pricing.

No. Packs are one-time payments and nothing renews. There is no account either: after paying you get a wallet code that holds your videos. Videos you buy can be used on any effect for 12 months.

Yes. One video a day is free for each visitor, without sign-up or watermark. If a free video cannot be made because of a problem on our side, the free try is given back.

Yes. Use one photo and choose "A pet" before you start; the effect then uses a version of the prompt written for animals. A clear photo with the whole head visible works best.

Usually 15 to 60 seconds, sometimes longer when the model is busy. Keep the page open; if you close it, the video still finishes and appears when you come back to this page in the same browser.

Your photo goes to fal.ai, which runs the video model. fal deletes the uploaded photo after about 1 hour and the finished video after about 7 days. We do not keep your photo or video on our servers, never show them publicly, and do not use them to train AI models. The finished video is saved in your browser so you can download it again (the last 10, for 30 days). See the privacy policy.

You are not charged. The video model runs its own safety check and may turn a photo down, for example one with nudity or violence. If that happens, or if the video cannot be made, the credit goes straight back to your wallet. A free video turned down by the model counts as your free video for that day.

Photos of anyone under 18, of celebrities or other public figures, of people who did not agree (including the person in a second photo), and photos with nudity or violence. Face swaps and fake footage are not allowed. Each photo must be at least 400 pixels on its short side. See the acceptable use policy.
