Horror Short Video Prompts is a 17-page PDF pack of 20 copy-paste 10-second horror video prompts. This is the scare system for 10-second horror: a 2-second visual hook, 6 seconds of dread build, a payoff that lands — with atmosphere doing the scary work, not gore.

It is made for horror short-form creators who want dread that retains. The Golden Rule governs every card: horror is suggestion, not display — what the viewer imagines is scarier than anything rendered. The pack is fiction-only by design and enforces it mechanically: the negative prompts ban gore, real people and graphic injury, and the usage rules repeat it — never use real people, real locations or real tragedies.

WHAT'S INSIDE — PDF, 17 pages, 2.33 MB
• 20 complete horror prompt cards (9:16, hook at 2s, payoff at 10s) • Prompt 01 · The Flickering Hallway (Veo 3): a candle-lit Victorian hallway where one painting's eyes follow the camera — at 0:02 the painted eyes have MOVED to stare into the lens, held for the final 3 seconds • The 2-6-2 Scare Structure in every prompt: hook → dread build → payoff • Tool settings for Veo 3, Runway, Pika & Hailuo — duration written IN the prompt (10 seconds) • An audio field on the prompts telling you exactly which one layer to add in editing: one creak, whisper or heartbeat • Negative prompts that ban gore, real people & graphic injury • Hook captions that sell the scare before it plays + the fictional-only safety rule + a 7-day scare-series launch plan

HOW TO USE IT
Paste one prompt into your video tool of choice — duration is written in the prompt. Keep the 9:16 vertical framing locked; horror lives on phone screens. The hook image (first 2 seconds) must be unmistakable even on mute. Add the single audio layer the prompt names in editing — one creak, whisper or heartbeat, never a stack.

LICENCE — COMMERCIAL USE INCLUDED
Everything you create with these prompts — horror shorts for your channels and client work — is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, including monetized content. No attribution is required. The licence covers the videos you create with the prompts; it does not allow reselling, sharing or redistributing the prompt pack (the PDF) itself.

WHAT THIS IS NOT
This is a prompt pack, not finished horror footage and not a gore pack. No completed videos are included — you generate every hallway yourself in your own AI video tool. Every prompt is clearly fiction, and the pack's safety rules (no real people, places or tragedies) are part of the product, not fine print.
