Every so often, I get the itch to watch something that’s not full-on horror, but still gives me chills. You know the type: unsettling atmospheres, shadowy figures lurking just out of sight, and those sudden heart-pounding jump scares that make you rethink walking down your own hallway at night.

That same eerie vibe can be captured beautifully with AI-generated art.
