# Zombie Dance Night

The fog rolls in and the dead start to groove. One photo becomes a full-body zombie dancer, ashen skin, cloudy eyes and a torn version of their own outfit, who jerks awake and dances a complete routine in a moonlit graveyard while staying unmistakably the same person.

## When to use

- "Make me a dancing zombie" or "zombie dance video" with a photo
- A Halloween dance reel with an undead or ghoul look
- Another take on a previous result with a different dance style, zombie look, length or orientation

Not for: still zombie portraits only, gory or bloody horror, or several people dancing together.

## Inputs and gates

| Input | Required | Default | Gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photo | Yes | — | One adult with the face clearly visible. A selfie works; the body and feet are built in the keyframe. Ask for another photo if the face is tiny, blurred, heavily covered or in profile, or if several people are the subject |
| Dance style | No | `graveyard shuffle` | `graveyard shuffle`, `claw line dance`, `undead pop-and-lock`, `shamble-to-hype`, or a dance the user describes |
| Zombie look | No | `classic undead` | `classic undead`, `zombie prom`, `office zombie`, or a user description |
| Duration | No | `6` s | 6 or 10. 10 s fits the full routine with a cleaner settle |
| Orientation | No | `9:16` portrait | `16:9` on request |

- If the person may be under 18, stop and decline politely. Real-person photos must be of adults the user has the right to use.
- Keep it spooky, not gory: no blood, open wounds or exposed bone. Wardrobe stays fully covering. Video does not allow NSFW content.
- If the user names a famous music video or choreographer, describe the moves generically and say so briefly.

## Dance table (tuned defaults)

Each dance is written as early / middle / final-second action on the stated BPM. For 10 s, keep the same dance and give the middle more repetitions; the end pose still takes the final second.

| Dance style | Set | `<ACTION>` (early / middle / final second) |
|---|---|---|
| graveyard shuffle | foggy moonlit graveyard, crooked headstones, knee-high ground mist, one hanging lantern | Early in the clip, slumped, then a sharp head snap awake. Through the middle, a rhythmic shuffle: heavy side-steps left and right on stiff knees, two steps per second, arms dangling and swinging loosely, shoulders popping up on every beat, head lolling side to side. Then a heel spin with arms flung wide, landing in a hunched groove. In the final second, a quick head tilt toward the camera and a crooked grin, still breathing, for the final second only. |
| claw line dance | misty cemetery road under a huge full moon, bare twisted trees | Early in the clip, claw hands rise to shoulder height. Through the middle, sharp steps to the right for four counts and back to the left for four counts, shoulders shrugging in sync, hips swinging. Then a ripple through the head and shoulders, then stomp, stomp, clap. In the final second, a lunge toward the camera with both claws raised, still breathing, for the final second only. |
| undead pop-and-lock | abandoned carnival midway at night, flickering broken bulbs, a still carousel behind | Early in the clip, frozen, then a neck snap. Through the middle, robotic isolations on the beat: chest pops, stiff arm waves rippling from fingertip to fingertip, sudden locks mid-move. Then a floppy-limbed backward glide across the ground. In the final second, a sharp final lock facing the camera, still breathing, for the final second only. |
| shamble-to-hype | empty city street at night, green-tinted fog, wet asphalt reflecting a flickering streetlight | Early in the clip, a heavy-footed shamble toward the camera, one arm reaching out. Through the middle, a sudden burst into fast hip-hop footwork: knee bounces, arm swings, a quick spin. Then a drop into a low crouch. In the final second, rising into a head-tilted groove, still breathing, for the final second only. |
