What to paste
Source requirements
These pages are truthful P0 entry points. They work from source text and facts you provide directly.
- Paste the story, outline, or key scare beats.
- Add limits for tone, gore, sensitive content, and ending style.
Workflow
From template to quote
The static template page hands off to the current project form and keeps cost visibility in the app flow.
2
Review the quote
SceneLock plans the storyboard and shows an itemized USD estimate before paid generation starts.
3
Render with guardrails
The project stores the selected template slug and uses source-fact prompts to avoid unsupported claims.
Hook metadata
Horror
The registry stores hook style metadata alongside each template so prompts and future analytics share the same source of truth.
Opening
Open on an unsettling detail, then reveal why it matters.
Pacing
Slow tension early, compressed escalation, clean final sting.
Visual direction
Use shadows, close-ups, restrained motion, and implied threat rather than graphic detail.
CTA style
End with a soft prompt for part two or comments if the story supports it.
Risk notes
Keep violence non-graphic and do not present invented true-crime details as fact.

FAQ
Horror story short questions
Short answers for search visitors before they enter the app.
Can this make graphic horror?
No. The P0 template is designed for suspenseful, non-graphic horror shorts.
Can I make a series?
You can create repeated projects from the same style. Long-form continuity expands in later phases.
Can the model add an ending?
It can shape a payoff from your outline, but it should not invent sensitive true claims.
