Learn how to create a grungy horror text animation in After Effects in just a few minutes.
In this tutorial, I walk you through my full process for building a creepy, distorted horror-style typography animation using blur mapping, noise, tritone color control, glow, and grid textures. This technique is perfect for horror titles, dark intros, trailers, and cinematic motion design.
