Halloween is the perfect excuse to make something unsettling. So this spooky season, we’re challenging our Indie-Clips Pro members to take their filmmaking ideas off the page — and see what happens when they DRAW them.

Spooky Season Challenge: Can You Draw Your Horror Scene?

Indie-Clips Draw is a fast visualisation tool that turns a scene from your screenplay into storyboard frames. Paste in a scene, choose your look — from pencil sketch and classic storyboard to concept art or realistic cinematic — and Draw breaks the scene down into shots you can download and share.

But here's the challenge: don't just pick an easy scene. Pick your scariest one.

Have a creature lurking just outside the frame? A character walking down a corridor where something feels very wrong? A supernatural reveal that only works if the camera is in exactly the right place? This is your chance to experiment with how that moment might look before you ever step onto set.

Try the same scene in different visual styles. Play with the framing. See which shots make the tension work — and which ones make your monster even more terrifying.

You might discover a better shot. A better angle. Or even a better way to tell the story.

So, Pro filmmakers, here's your Spooky Season Draw Challenge:

Take one horror scene from your screenplay and bring it to life in Draw.

Then share your favourite frame with us. We want to see what you've been cooking up in the dark.

Just remember: the scariest part shouldn't be the storyboard.

It should be what you're planning to film.

Ready? Try Draw and let the nightmare begin.
