The Crypt Door

A stone door grinds open in the window and pale fingers curl into the light.

The rundown

Every transmission is built the same way

  1. 01

    Hang the fabric

    Pin a white sheer curtain or thin sheet across the window, on the inside. Keep it loose — wrinkles break the image.

  2. 02

    Put the projector behind it

    Aim the projector at the back of the fabric from inside the room. Nothing sits between the projector and the window.

  3. 03

    Kill every other light

    The projection competes with every lamp in the room. This step matters more than any projector spec.

  4. 04

    Play it and go outside

    Loop the file fullscreen, then walk to the kerb. If you can read it from there, it works.

Pets

Then there is the pet.

Pets do not understand Halloween. They understand the door keeps opening and someone put a costume on them. That gap is the most shared thing anyone posts all October.

Guides

Throw the party. Build the haunt.

Two guides, written as a build order rather than a shopping list — because the order you do things in is what makes a room feel like an event.

Make your own

Or make your own

Every loop here came from a written prompt. No subscription, no stock licence, no designer. Three moving parts and one text box.

The prompt template
Write a text-to-video prompt for a Halloween window projection.
Subject: [WHAT IT IS, e.g. a skeletal pirate crew on a galleon]
Style: pure black background, high-contrast luminous silhouette, bold shapes
Motion: [SIMPLE MOTION, e.g. drifting slowly sideways through low fog]
Framing: centred, wide 16:9, nothing near the edges
Exclude: no text, no watermarks, no borders, no camera shake
Loop: the first and last frames must match so it repeats seamlessly
Give me the finished prompt only, ready to paste into a video tool.

Frequently asked questions

The short version of how this works, what it costs, and how to do it yourself.

How do you project a Halloween video onto a window?

Hang a white sheer curtain across the window on the inside, point a projector at the back of the fabric from inside the room, and turn off the other lights. The projection glows through the curtain so the street sees it, and the projector itself stays hidden.

Do the loops cost anything?

No. Every loop on this site is free to download and use for your own display. There is no subscription and no licence fee.

What gear do I actually need?

A projector, a white sheer curtain or thin sheet, and something to play the file on a loop — a laptop is fine. Fog and sound are optional extras that make the street stop walking.

How bright does the projector need to be?

Brighter than you would think, because your projection competes with porch lights and streetlamps. Brightness matters more than resolution: a bright 1080p projector beats a dim 4K one for this.

Can I make my own videos like these with AI?

Yes, and no subscription is needed. Each build page shows the exact prompt used plus a reusable template. Ask Claude or ChatGPT to write the prompt, paste it into a text-to-video tool, and loop the result through your projector.

How often is a new build published?

Every night. A new theme, a new looping video, the prompt behind it and the matching shopping list, posted here and to our social channels.
