Halloween Horror Nights 2026
Spec Commercial • 2026
The goal was to imagine what a cinematic promotional campaign for the event could look like while exploring the creative potential of the latest AI filmmaking tools.
The film was conceived and directed as if it were a real commercial, with a strong focus on atmosphere, suspense, cinematic lighting, pacing, sound design, and visual storytelling.
The project also explored how precisely AI could be directed, testing camera movement, creature animation, environmental control, and the faithful recreation of well-known horror characters while preserving their iconic look and screen presence.
More than a technical exercise, the film demonstrates how AI can support a director’s vision, with storytelling, creative direction, editing, and sound remaining at the heart of the filmmaking process.
