AI Horror Faceless Shorts Generator — Fully Automated n8n Video System

Create Viral Horror Shorts Automatically — No Editing, No Writing, No Design Needed

This product is a complete end-to-end horror short-form video automation system built entirely on n8n. It turns a single command into a fully produced AI horror short — including story, voiceover, images, video clips, editing, and final YouTube upload.

If you want to run a faceless horror channel, grow a viral storytelling brand, or sell automated content systems to clients — this is the most advanced plug-and-play automation available.

WHAT THIS AUTOMATION DOES

1. Auto-Generates Viral Horror Storylines (8-Beat Format)

One chat command (“idea”) triggers the AI to create a complete 8-beat horror story using:

• OpenAI GPT (story beat generation)

• JSON-structured beat formatting

• Automatic YouTube titles & descriptions

• Google Sheets storage for story management

This ensures consistent storytelling templates, perfect for Shorts, TikTok, or Reels.

2. Creates Cinematic Horror Visuals With a Consistent Character

Using Replicate’s Flux-Schnell model, the system generates:

• Oil painting style horror scenes

• 9:16 vertical cinematic frames

• A consistent character across all beats

• High-quality, eerie atmospheres

Each beat becomes its own image ready for video animation.

3. Turns Images Into Motion Clips Automatically

The workflow uses Replicate’s WAN-2.2 I2V model to turn each still image into a dynamic video beat.

This produces:

• Smooth movement

• Horror-themed visual depth

• A “creepy faceless short” style perfect for viral horror niches

4. Generates Eerie Narration for Each Beat (OpenAI TTS-1 HD)

The system formats narration with:

• Dramatic pauses

• Emphasis breaks

• Natural horror pacing

Then converts each beat into high-quality audio using OpenAI’s TTS-1 HD model.

5. Auto-Edits All Beats Into a Final Horror Short

Using FFmpeg automation inside n8n, the system:

• Merges video + audio per beat

• Concatenates all 8 beats into one final short

• Adds cinematic intro text (“Midnight Cuts”)

• Outputs a polished horrorfile_short_final.mp4

Zero manual editing. Zero timeline work.

6. Auto-Uploads to YouTube

With YouTube OAuth integration:

• Uploads the final short automatically

• Inserts the generated title & description

• Marks it Private for final review

• Updates Google Sheets with the YouTube link

This creates a complete publishing pipeline from idea → video → upload.

7. Optional Cleanup System

A built-in “clean drive” command clears temporary media files from Google Drive for clean storage management.
