What happens in the Pumpkin Head video
You stand on a front porch at night decorated with pumpkins and orange string lights. With a soft pop and a puff of orange sparkles your heads turn into friendly, softly glowing carved jack-o’-lantern pumpkins with big smiles, wearing your own clothes. You do a little dance, then the pumpkins wink and you wave at the camera. Playful and family-friendly, nothing scary.

The exact Pumpkin Head prompt
Every Pumpkin Head video is made with one of these fixed prompts, picked by the photos you upload. Visitors cannot change them; your photos are the only input. With one photo of both people, the two-photo prompt is used with its subject lines rewritten: the person on the left is the first person and the person on the right is the second.
