DEPARTMENT OF EXTREMELY MINOR PROBLEMS — THE CURSED PUMPKIN
Create a 15-second original spooky action-comedy animation, 16:9.
Completely original Halloween-inspired world. Cinematic autumn night, old wooden house, cold moonlight, swirling mist, flickering warm lights, exaggerated shadows, dramatic atmosphere, polished high-end original 3D animation. Funny and spooky at the same time. No recognizable characters, franchises, costumes, logos, or existing intellectual property.
0–3 seconds:
A person carries a small carved orange pumpkin toward the front porch at night. Wind moves the trees. The house feels strangely quiet.
They place the pumpkin beside the front door.
They turn around and walk away.
The pumpkin slowly rolls after them.
3–6 seconds:
The person stops.
Looks back.
The pumpkin is sitting exactly where they originally placed it.
They stare at it suspiciously.
They pick it up and move it to the other side of the porch.
6–9 seconds:
They turn away.
The pumpkin suddenly rolls across the porch at ridiculous speed.
The person notices it coming and RUNS.
A chaotic chase erupts around the porch as the pumpkin keeps rolling after them.
9–12 seconds:
The person grabs the pumpkin and pins it against the ground with both hands.
They are exhausted.
They slowly stand up.
The pumpkin remains perfectly still.
12–15 seconds:
The person cautiously steps away.
The pumpkin does nothing.
They smile with relief.
Then the pumpkin makes one tiny roll toward them.
The person immediately sprints away in absolute panic.
The pumpkin rolls after them.
Cut to black.
No dialogue. No subtitles. No text overlays. No logos. No recognizable brands. No copyrighted characters. No celebrity likenesses. No gore. No graphic horror. No existing Halloween characters or recognizable costumes. Keep the pumpkin completely original. Make the spooky atmosphere cinematic but the physical comedy exaggerated and energetic. The pumpkin's movement must be simple, readable, and continuous.
