Make the zombie coach Thriller dance from one photo of yourself, an adult friend who agreed, or your pet. The headset and the Thriller sound are included, and no prompt is needed.

To make a Coaches Thriller AI video you need one photo (of yourself, someone who said yes, or your pet) and a Google account. Pick a length, press the button, and a few minutes later you’re leading the zombie line in a vertical video with the Thriller sound already on it. No prompt, no dance lessons, no zombie makeup.

How to Make a Coaches Thriller AI Video, Step by Step

  1. Sign in with Google. It’s the only way to sign in, and it keeps your videos in your account.
  2. Pick your photo. One clear person or pet, face visible. JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC, up to 10 MB (iPhone photos are converted to JPEG on the server). Half-body or full-body photos with arms visible work best. Photo on your phone but you’re on a computer? Use “upload from your phone”: scan the QR code and the photo lands on the computer in about 2 seconds. No sign-in needed on the phone, and the link lasts 15 minutes.
  3. Choose a length. 6 seconds costs 6 credits, 10 seconds costs 13 and 15 seconds costs 20. The 15-second version plays the Thriller sound from the start; the 10- and 6-second versions play its last 10 or 6 seconds, so they end on the finale.
  4. Tick the permission box and press the button. The box confirms the photo is you, your pet, or someone who gave you permission, that everyone in it is 18 or older, and that it isn’t a celebrity or public figure. The video takes a few minutes, and you can leave the page while it renders.
  5. Download or share. You get an MP4, 720p, vertical 9:16, with sound and no watermark. It’s saved in My videos in your account, with a download button and a one-tap TikTok share.

Out of credits? Packs are one-time payments in USD: Single is $9.90 for 20 credits (one full 15-second video), Trio is $19.90 for 60 credits and Crew is $29.90 for 100 credits. Credits never expire, and you can pay by card or Apple Pay through Stripe. There’s no free trial and no credits for signing up, but you can earn credits by inviting friends: +1 credit for each friend who signs up with your link (up to 50 friends) and +10 when an invited friend makes their first purchase.

Photo Tips for a Scarier Likeness

  • One person or one pet. Group shots make it unclear who should lead the horde.
  • Face visible. Look toward the camera in good light, no sunglasses, no heavy filters.
  • Arms in the frame. Half-body or full-body photos with arms showing work best. Claw hands need arms.
  • Wear the outfit you want to be seen in. You keep your own clothes from the photo and the headset goes on top. Your team’s jacket would fit right in.
  • Pets: one clear photo with the face showing. Your pet stands upright and dances with its front paws.
  • Skip these: photos of celebrities or public figures (famous coaches included), photos with another app’s watermark, and photos with flags or political imagery. The AI provider’s content review refuses them and your credits come back automatically.

Make a Dog Thriller Dance Video (Zombie Coach Edition)

Coaches Thriller AI works with a pet photo too. Upload one clear photo of your dog (or cat) with its face showing, pick 6, 10 or 15 seconds, and your pet stands upright in the sideline headset and does the zombie routine with its front paws, with the zombie backup dancers behind it and the Thriller sound on the video. One pet per photo works best.

What If It Goes Wrong?

  • The render fails. It’s retried once automatically, for free. If it fails again, all the credits for that video come back automatically.
  • The photo is refused. Photos turned down by content review get their credits back automatically and aren’t retried. Try another photo.
  • The finished video has a problem. Email [email protected] and we refund the credits that video used, in money, to your original payment method. If you’ve used only part of a pack, the credits you haven’t used yet are refunded in money too.
  • The background looks different. The scene is written as a dark, blue-lit stage, but sometimes the AI keeps the background from your photo instead.

Other Ways to Make It

  • Film it for real. Learn the Thriller dance, find a headset, talk your friends into zombie makeup. Respect. It also takes a lot longer than a few minutes.
  • A general AI video tool. You’d write the whole zombie routine as a prompt yourself, generate the clip, then add the Thriller sound in an editing app and line it up.
  • Here. The routine is already written beat by beat, the trend’s Thriller sound is added for you, and one photo is all you upload.

Posting It

  • It’s already vertical (9:16) with the sound on it, so you can post it as is. The share button sends it straight to TikTok.
  • The original used #halloween, #CFB, #CollegeFootball and #MichaelJackson. Add #CFBSlander if you’re roasting your own team.
  • Say it’s AI-generated. The original post was labelled “This video is AI-generated”, and yours should be too.
  • Putting your coach or a teammate in it? Make sure they said yes before you tag them.

How-To FAQ

How long does a Coaches Thriller AI video take to make?

Usually a few minutes. You can close the page while it renders; the finished video waits in My videos.

Does my photo need a headset or zombie makeup?

No. Coaches Thriller AI adds the black sideline headset and the pale zombie look for you. You keep your own face, hair and clothes from the photo.

How much does it cost?

6 credits for 6 seconds, 13 for 10 seconds and 20 for 15 seconds. The smallest pack, Single, is $9.90 for 20 credits, so one full 15-second video or three 6-second ones.

Can I do it on my phone?

Yes. Upload straight from your phone’s photos (iPhone HEIC photos are converted for you), and if your device has Apple Pay you can buy credits with one tap in Safari once you’re signed in.

Can I put two people in one video?

Each video uses one photo with one person or pet as the lead zombie. The AI adds the line of zombie backup dancers behind them.

What if I don’t like the result?

If a finished video has a problem, email [email protected] and we refund the credits it used, in money; if you’ve used only part of a pack, the credits you haven’t used are refunded in money too.
