A sudden, terrifying jump scare video featuring a [TYPE_OF_ENTITY: pale ghostly figure, decaying zombie, grotesque creature with too many eyes, shadow monster] emerging abruptly from [LOCATION: complete darkness, behind a rotting door, under the bed, dense, swirling fog] directly towards the camera. The camera is handheld, shaky, and from a first-person POV, starting with a slow, tense [CAMERA_MOVEMENT: dolly-in, pan across a cluttered, dark room, slow zoom] across unsettling clutter or empty space, before the entity lunges directly into the lens, momentarily obscuring it. This is followed by a quick, disorienting pan to empty space, implying the entity vanished or is right behind the viewer. Lighting is extremely low-key, utilizing practical flickering lights or a single dim source to create deep, oppressive shadows and high contrast, reminiscent of "Lights Out" or found footage horror films like "REC." Technical details: 4K resolution, 24fps, digital cinema camera with a wide-angle prime lens (24mm or 28mm) to emphasize proximity. Grain, chromatic aberration, and slight lens distortion are added for a gritty, unsettling texture and a sense of realism. The atmosphere is one of extreme suspense, building to a heart-stopping moment of pure terror, amplified by implied heavy, ragged breathing and a sudden, piercing shriek or guttural roar that cuts off abruptly.
Customizable variables: [TYPE_OF_ENTITY], [LOCATION], [CAMERA_MOVEMENT]
