Photos that work best for Halloween
Your face and hair come from the photo; the costume and makeup come from your pick.
Face clearly visible
Eyes and mouth sharp and toward the camera. The costume's makeup goes on top, so you stay recognizable.
Show your costume
Picking "As in photo"? Use a photo that shows the outfit and makeup, head to waist or more. A full-face mask is pushed up so your face shows.
Good light
Daylight or a bright room. Dark party photos lose your face.
Only you
One person per photo. For a cat or dog, see the pet question below.
Bad Times Halloween: FAQ
It's the viral BAD TIMES argument, a lip-sync to Imael Angel's song in which you have an over-the-top fight with whoever holds the phone, in a Halloween costume. You keep your face and hair, wear the costume you pick, and argue in your own room decorated with jack-o'-lanterns, cobwebs and orange lights.
Vampire (black cape, red collar, pale makeup and little fangs), witch (pointed hat, dark robe, smoky eyes), zombie (torn clothes and grey-green makeup) and skeleton (bone-print suit and skull face paint). Or pick "As in photo" to keep the one in your photo.
Yes. Pick "As in photo" and upload a photo of you in it: the outfit and makeup stay on for the whole clip. A full-face mask is pushed up so your face and mouth show, because the lip-sync needs them.
Yes. Pick "Bad Times · Pet Halloween" in the template list (or just upload a pet photo and we switch you to it), then dress your cat or dog as a pumpkin, a vampire, a witch or a skeleton, or keep what it wears in the photo. It keeps its own breed, fur and markings. Pet videos are made on Premium, so they cost a bit more; the exact price shows before you pay.
It stays playful: no blood, wounds or weapons, which the video provider's review blocks. If a render is blocked anyway, your credits or payment are refunded automatically.
In the room from your photo, decorated for Halloween with jack-o'-lanterns, cobwebs, string lights and paper bats. If the photo shows no room, you get an ordinary living room decorated the same way.
10, 15, 20 or 30 seconds, always from the start of the take, in 9:16. Budget and Balanced render up to 15 seconds; Premium does the whole 30.
