About the Horror Manga style
Visual characteristics
Horror manga illustration in obsessive fine-ink body-horror tradition. Obsessively detailed 0.1mm technical pen linework creating overwhelming existential dread. Signature spiral patterns and body horror rendered with anatomical precision. Dense 60-80% crosshatching creating claustrophobic darkness, stark black on cream paper. Wide-eyed expressions with dilated pupils conveying cosmic terror, uncanny distinctive face rendering. That distinctive "horror that sticks with you" aesthetic.

Plan shots in the Horror Manga look
Step 1: Study the visual recipe
Compare the Horror Manga still preview with the visual notes below. Choose which lighting, palette and framing cues belong in your shot list.
Step 2: Build your storyboard
Open a new Storyboard, add your script and character references, then choose its style separately. To adapt this recipe, paste it into a custom style in Advanced mode.
Step 3: Review before video
Review the generated frames for continuity. A still does not specify motion, pacing or audio; plan those as separate decisions for your video.
