Spooky Scary Skeletons prompt for Seedance: a copyable vampire dance prompt
Updated:
Short answer
Copy the prompt below into Seedance and attach your photo as the reference image. It is written as a short timeline with a camera line and a sound line. It names no song, artist or person, because tools filter them. Tweak the first line to your plan’s length, or use MimicZip.

Copy this prompt
Create a 11-second vertical Halloween dance clip using the reference image, filmed by a fixed phone on the ground. Image 1 is the DANCER: preserve their face, skin tone, hair and body shape. Dress them as a vampire in a black suit and a long black cape with a bright red lining. If the subject is an animal, a toy or a drawn character, keep its look and let it stand upright in a small cape. Scene: a Halloween hilltop at night, orange-red sky, a huge glowing orange full moon, bats, bare twisted trees and glowing carved pumpkins. No logos or readable text. Timeline: 0-3s a hop with a knee kick and a leg swing, landing facing the camera. 3-7s a bouncy half-squat with stiff skeleton elbows pumped on every beat, then shoulder shimmies and hip shakes. 7-8.5s skeleton elbows again and a head whip. 8.5-11s stomping steps, a knee lifted across the body and one arm raised high with a playful grin. Camera: one fixed, low view with the full body in frame, no cuts. Sound: a bouncy, spooky Halloween instrumental with a xylophone melody, no singing. Realistic motion, no captions, no logos, no watermark.
How to use it
- Attach your photo as Image 1, and name it Image 1 if your tool asks for tags.
- Do not put a song, an artist or a real person’s name in the timeline. Those tend to be filtered, so the timeline shows the action only.
- Plans and limits differ by tool and change often, so set the first line to the length and shape your plan allows.
Questions people ask
Which model does this site itself use?
The videos here are generated with Seedance 2.0 Mini through an API, guided by a motion reference for the timing. The page is independent, though, and not affiliated with ByteDance or the people who posted the trend.
Will the result match the trend exactly?
Not exactly. Each tool and model version reads the timeline in its own way, and your photo changes the face and the movement. Treat the prompt as a starting point.
Do I need a prompt to use this site?
No. MimicZip runs a fixed scene, so you add one photo and press the make button.
