What is the Bad Times Halloween video?

It's the original BAD TIMES argument as a Halloween bit: the same moves, camera and timing, but you're in costume and the room is decorated for the night — pumpkins, cobwebs, candles.

Pick a costume and the video dresses you in it with its makeup, keeping your face and hair; pick "my own costume" to keep what your photo already shows. It stays playful: no blood or wounds, and nothing covers your mouth, so the lip-sync still works. Premium makes the whole 30-second take; Balanced makes its first 15 seconds for fewer credits.

  2. 02

    Pick a version and generate

    Premium makes the whole 30-second take: 55 credits at 480p, 120 at 720p and 205 at 1080p. Balanced makes the first 15 seconds from 15 credits. Failed renders are refunded automatically.

    Your video is ready in a few minutes as a vertical MP4 with the song, ready for TikTok, Reels or Shorts.

Photos that work best in costume

Faces clearly visible

Eyes and mouth sharp and toward the camera, good light, no sunglasses. The lip-sync needs a face it can read.

Already dressed up?

Pick "my own costume" to keep the outfit and makeup in your photo. A mask over your face is pushed up so the lip-sync works.

Good light

Daylight or a bright room. Dark photos blur faces and lose the likeness.

One person

One person per photo, so it's clear who gets the costume.

Same idea, a different trend. Every template keeps the original moves and adds the song.
