ABOUT
What is Cursed Cam?
Cursed Cam turns photos of your own house, garden or venue into a live haunted security-camera monitor: night-vision CCTV pictures and AI-made clips where something is wrong, played on any screen.
- WHAT IT IS
- A service that makes a private, live monitor from 4, 9 or 16 photos you upload. Each photo becomes a night-time CCTV camera, and each camera gets three AI-made looping clips: a quiet one, one with people passing, and one where something is wrong.
- WHO IT IS FOR
- Halloween parties, pranks, haunted attractions and escape rooms, film and TV sets, and paranormal-themed content.
- HOW IT WORKS
- Upload photos. Cursed Cam makes a night-vision still from each, reads the scene (what is in it, every door, window and gap, and what must never happen), writes a storyboard for each clip, films it with AI video models, checks it, and plays it on a private link in any browser.
- TIME
- Usually about an hour from starting filming to a live monitor.
- WHERE IT PLAYS
- Any screen with a browser: smart TVs, laptops, tablets, phones, or cast from a laptop. Press F for full screen.
- IS IT REAL FOOTAGE?
- No. Every clip is AI-generated from your photos for entertainment, and should never be presented as real evidence.
- PRIVACY
- Photos are used only to make the clips, are never used to train AI models, and can be deleted on request. Photos are shrunk in the browser, which removes location data.
- PAYMENT
- One payment per monitor through Stripe, in US dollars, with no subscription. The monitor stays live for at least 12 months.
- REFUNDS
- A full refund in one click until filming starts. Free remakes are included in every plan.

Questions
What photos work best?
Wide shots from up high, like a security camera would have: a corner of a room, a hallway, a garden from an upstairs window, a driveway. Phone photos are perfect. Daylight is fine, we turn every one into night.
How do I play it on a TV?
You get a private monitor link. Open it on a laptop and AirPlay or cast it, or open it straight in your smart TV's browser. Press F for full screen. It runs all night without repeating the same thing back to back.
How long does it take?
Usually about an hour. Each camera lights up on your monitor as its clips are ready, so you can watch it come together. Rush puts yours first in the queue.
Is it real footage?
No. It looks like real CCTV, but every clip is 100% AI-made from your photos. Please don't pass it off as real evidence of anything.
What if a clip comes out wrong?
Every clip is checked by AI before you see it: true scale, real physics, nobody vanishing into thin air. If one still looks off, hit remake. Each plan has free remakes.
What happens to my photos?
They're only used to make your clips. We never train on them, your monitor is private to you, and you can delete everything any time. Only upload places you own or have permission to film.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, before your clips start generating: one click, no questions. Once they're generating the AI compute is spent and I can't get it back, so refunds stop there. Remakes are free within your plan.
Can I use it in my haunted attraction, escape room or film?
Yes, with Pro. It includes a commercial licence and MP4 downloads of every clip without a watermark.
Who made this?
Me, James. I built it for my own Halloween party: a monitor showing my building, where something was very wrong on every floor. Then I thought you might want one of your own.
