Making a realistic and eerie ghost pictureon your iPhone can be hard. There are numerous apps available in the AppStore but usually what you get is the same cheap effects and cheesy ghost stickers. At the same time, you can’t just turn any photo in a horror masterpiece.
A bad photo is a bad photo, no matter how many zombie, ghosts or slender man has in it.
We built Scary Camera Effects to allow you create the most terrifying paranormal photo ever.
So to create the best scary horror photo just follow these basic steps:
  1. Think about what kind of paranormal photo you want to create. Visualize it in your head. Is it a zombie picture? Or a gothic ghost photo? What’s the story behind the image? Anyway, think before shooting.
  2. Find the right place at the right time. Don’t just use any photo for your scary pictures. If you’re planning to make a eerie gothic photo, you need some ruins or a church. Preferably at sunset or late afternoon. For a J-horror short you need a tatami and wooden walls. For zombie pictures an abandoned house would be great. Try to take a photo that actually look scary even before adding ghosts with Scary Camera Effects. Remember to keep your hands steady to capture a sharp image.2013-03-25 10.43.58
  3. Process  your image in Scary Camera Effects, the horror photo editor. Look at the pic and first add some background stickers like a moon, or some crows flying. Then the middle ground, with some trees and other elements. You’re basically building a set of a horror movie. Move to the mid-foreground and add creatures, zombie or ghosts. Remember to change opacity to help the sticker mix in the scene. It’s also important to add some foreground elements like fog or some vegetation to create a more realistic image.
  4. Choose the right filter. It depends by the kind of image and the light condition of your photo. A VCR REC camera feed is just not right for a goth ghost, but its perfect for a paranormal activity scene.
  5. Save your photo and share it online! You can for example use Instagram, in that case you can also apply other effects on the picture. And remember to use the correct hash tag#scarycameraeffects.
Well, that’s all! Have fun!
