I created and scored a 1‑minute horror short inspired by A Nightmare on Elm Street
Hey everyone,
I’ve been experimenting with mixing AI‑generated visuals and traditional filmmaking, and I wanted to share a small project I recently finished. It’s a one‑minute horror short called “Cirque du Sommeil (Circus of Sleep)”, inspired by A Nightmare on Elm Street — with a few subtle homages to the dream‑logic and surreal tension that made those films stick with me.
The imagery was created using Grok, but everything else — editing, pacing, sound design, and the full score — I built myself in DaVinci Resolve, and composed in Ableton.
It’s a tiny piece, but it was a fun challenge to see how much atmosphere I could pack into a minute‑ish film.
I’d really appreciate any feedback, especially on the sound design/soundtrack.
