Where the pumpkin head photoshoot trend came from

The pumpkin head photoshoot started around 2020, when friends, couples, and families hollowed out big pumpkins, wore them over their heads, and posed outdoors. It exploded on TikTok in October 2021 and has returned every October since, with a fresh wave of family and couple clips in 2026. AI templates that do it from one photo arrived in 2025, so now there is no real pumpkin to carve, no weight on your neck, and no field to find.

The look: your outfit stays, your head becomes a glowing carved jack-o'-lantern in an open field at dusk, shot on film. The video version walks slowly toward the camera and tilts the pumpkin head into the lens at the end. Credit original creators by handle when you remix a trend; every clip here is newly generated from your photos.

How to make it in 3 steps

  1. 1. Upload your photo

    One full-body photo for Solo, or two separate full-body photos for Couple / friends. The first photo is the person on the left.

  2. 2. Choose Solo or Couple

    Solo keeps one person and one pumpkin. Couple keeps each person's outfit and gives the two pumpkins different carved faces.

  3. 3. Generate · 2 credits

    Credits are charged when you generate. Wan 3.0 (wan3.0-video) makes a 12s, 720p clip with sound. Resolution is always sent as 720P.

What it looks like

Solo: you sit on an old wooden chair in a wide open field of tall dry golden grass at dusk, under a deep blue sky. Your body, outfit, and shoes stay exactly as in your photo. Only your head becomes a large ribbed jack-o'-lantern, bigger than a human head, with a short curved green stem and a warm candle glow inside the carvings.

Couple: the two of you stand side by side on a dirt road lined with tall autumn trees, holding hands, heads tilted slightly toward each other. Each outfit stays its own, and the pumpkins get different carved faces — triangle eyes and a wide grin on the left, round eyes and a sweet smile on the right.

The video walks slowly toward the camera along the path, candle glow flickering, then stops close and tilts the pumpkin head into the lens. The head stays one solid carved pumpkin the whole time.

Which photo works best

Use a sharp full-body photo, head to shoes, facing the camera, arms loose, in good daylight. Your outfit is what makes it yours: the prompt keeps your clothes, colors, fabrics, shoes, and accessories exactly, and only swaps the head.

Any background works, because the scene gets replaced with the field or the dirt road. For a couple, upload two separate full-body photos — not one photo of both people together. Use your own photos only, no celebrities.

Prompts

Also on the prompts page. The Solo pair is the default; Couple swaps in the two-person prompts.

Solo · Internal first-frame prompt

Use the uploaded photo as the base. Keep the person's body shape, skin tone, hands, outfit, colors, fabrics, shoes, and accessories exactly the same as in the photo. Replace only the head with one large carved jack-o'-lantern worn over the head like a mask: clearly bigger than a human head, ribbed orange skin, a short curved green stem on top, the bottom edge resting on the shoulders and collar with a soft shadow, no neck showing, and no human face visible inside the carvings, only a warm candle glow shining through the cut eyes, nose, and grin. Long hair may fall from under the pumpkin onto the shoulders. The person sits on an old wooden chair in a wide open field of tall dry golden grass at dusk, under a deep blue sky with the last orange light on the horizon, bare trees far away, and thin mist drifting low. Show the full body from the pumpkin top to the shoes. Chest-height camera, 35mm lens, film grain, muted warm and teal color grade, photorealistic, not CGI. Vertical 9:16. Exactly one person, no text, no logos.

Solo · Video · 12s

A slow, eerie, cinematic shot, one continuous take with no cuts. Keep the person's body, outfit, and carved pumpkin head exactly as in the still image. The person walks slowly and calmly along a dirt path toward the camera, arms swinging slightly, tall dry grass brushing past on both sides, the candle glow flickering through the carvings. Near the end they stop close to the camera and slowly tilt the pumpkin head to one side, looking into the lens. The head stays one solid carved pumpkin the whole time and never becomes a human face. Thin mist drifts low, the camera stays still at chest height, deep blue dusk sky with the last orange light on the horizon. Audio: soft footsteps, evening wind, crickets, and a low eerie music-box melody. No dialogue, no text, no logos.

Couple · Internal first-frame prompt

Use the two uploaded photos as the base. The first photo is the person on the left, the second photo is the person on the right. Keep each person's body shape, skin tone, hands, outfit, colors, fabrics, shoes, and accessories exactly the same as in their own photo. Do not blend the two people and do not swap their clothes. Replace only each head with a large carved jack-o'-lantern worn over the head like a mask: clearly bigger than a human head, ribbed orange skin, a short curved green stem on top, the bottom edge resting on the shoulders and collar with a soft shadow, no neck showing, and no human face visible inside the carvings, only a warm candle glow shining through. Give the two pumpkins different carved faces: the left one has triangle eyes, a triangle nose, and a wide grin with square teeth; the right one has round eyes, a small heart-shaped nose, and a sweet curved smile. The two people stand side by side on a dirt road lined with tall autumn trees, holding hands, facing the camera, heads tilted slightly toward each other, fallen leaves scattered on the road, dusk light. Show both full bodies from the pumpkin tops to the shoes. Chest-height camera, 35mm lens, film grain, muted warm and teal color grade, photorealistic, not CGI. Vertical 9:16. Exactly two people, no text, no logos.

Couple · Video · 12s

A slow, eerie, cinematic shot, one continuous take with no cuts. Keep both people's bodies, outfits, and carved pumpkin heads exactly as in the still image. The couple walks slowly and calmly along a dirt road lined with tall autumn trees toward the camera, holding hands, arms swinging slightly, fallen leaves underfoot, the candle glow flickering through both carvings. Near the end they stop close to the camera and slowly tilt their pumpkin heads toward each other, then toward the lens. Each head stays one solid carved pumpkin the whole time and never becomes a human face. Thin mist drifts low, the camera stays still at chest height, dusk light. Audio: soft footsteps, evening wind, crickets, and a low eerie music-box melody. No dialogue, no text, no logos.

FAQ

Is the pumpkin head video gory or scary?

No gore and no blood. The prompts replace only the head with a carved pumpkin: no face shows inside the carvings, only a warm candle glow. The walk is slow and eerie, not a jump-scare clip.

How do people make the pumpkin head AI video?

Upload one full-body photo for Solo, or two separate full-body photos for Couple / friends. Click Generate to spend 2 credits and start the 12 second 720p video with sound. The first frame is prepared during generation.

Where do I get the prompt?

You do not need to write one. The page uses fixed prompts for the internal first frame and the video. You can read the Solo and Couple prompts in the Prompts section below or on the prompts page.

Is it a real video of a real photoshoot?

No. Every clip is newly generated AI video from your photos. There is no real pumpkin on your head. Label the result as AI where a platform asks.

What photo works best?

Use a sharp full-body photo, head to shoes, facing the camera, arms loose, in good daylight. Your outfit is what makes it yours, and any background works because it gets replaced. For a couple, upload two separate full-body photos, not one photo of both people together.

How long is the pumpkin head video and how much does it cost?

Every Pumpkin Head video is 12 seconds at 720p, with footsteps, wind, crickets, and a music-box melody. It costs 2 credits when you click Generate. Packs: $9.99 for 2 credits, $19.99 for 6 credits, and $49.99 for 18 credits.

Can I make a couple version?

Yes. Choose Couple / friends and upload two separate full-body photos: the first photo is the person on the left. Each person keeps their own outfit, and the two pumpkins get different carved faces.

Do I need to be 18?

Yes. Photos must be you or adults who agreed. Use photos you own or have permission to use. No celebrity lookalikes.
