Creepypasta and scary-story shorts are a whole niche — a tense narration, a background loop underneath, captions carrying every line. Nova produces it: paste the story or a Reddit horror thread, pick a voice, and it narrates over looping background footage with captions timed to the read. Finished horror shorts, no camera and no editor.

## What you get

### Story to short in one paste

Paste your scary story, or the text of an r/nosleep-style thread, and Nova narrates it in an AI voice over looping background footage — the creepypasta format assembled from text alone.

### Captions carry the tension

Word-by-word captions synced to the AI narration keep every line readable on a muted feed and land the beats in time — the format horror pages depend on, burned in automatically.

### Feed the niche daily

Nova generates the voice and the background, so a horror short is one paste instead of an evening of editing — enough to actually post at the pace the niche rewards.

## FAQ

### How do I make a scary story video without filming?

Paste the story text or a Reddit horror thread into Nova's faceless mode. It narrates the story in an AI voice, lays it over looping background footage, and burns in word-by-word captions — a finished vertical horror short, no camera.

### Can I use creepypasta or my own writing?

Both — type or paste your own scary story, or copy in the text of a Reddit horror thread and Nova reads it. Either way you get a captioned vertical short over looping background footage.

### Is it free?

Your first faceless short is free — no card. Nova gives every new account one full faceless render so you can judge the voice, the captions and the finished video before paying for anything. After that, shorts come in one-time packs from $0.99 with no subscription, or a monthly plan from $15 gives you up to 300 a month. (Regular AI clipping has its own free tier: 30 minutes a month.)
