Voodoo Doll — stitched burlap and button eyes.
Halloween Voodoo Doll ties the person up in strings, then turns them into a sackcloth doll. The face becomes burlap with black button eyes and a stitched grin. The sample opens on a woman with a long blonde ponytail in a white tank top and jeans, seated on a green booth in front of a mirror.
The sample
What happens in the Halloween Voodoo Doll sample.
The sample is a reel of three runs. First, a woman with a blonde ponytail sits on a green booth. Tan cords loop around her arms and neck, her mouth opens in shock, and she becomes a burlap doll with button eyes and yarn hair, still in her tank top. Next, a man in round glasses and a dark sweatshirt is caught in black strings and turns into a doll with dark yarn hair. Last, a woman in a cream cardigan holding a glass bottle gains black stitches, then a burlap face.
The clothes stay close to the originals: the white tank top and jeans, the dark sweatshirt and the cream cardigan all carry over onto the doll. Hair turns into thick yarn of a matching colour. In the first two runs, pumpkins and jack-o'-lanterns appear in the room. The sample starts from seated or half-body shots with the face to camera, so a similar photo is a sensible starting point.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
Face toward the camera
Each run opens with the face turned to the lens, and that face becomes the burlap mask with button eyes. A front-facing photo matches that.
Show arms and upper body
The strings loop around arms, chest and neck before the change. A photo showing the upper body leaves room for that step.
Your outfit stays on the doll
The tank top, sweatshirt and cardigan in the sample all carry over to the doll. Wear something you want to see in stitched form.

Halloween Voodoo Doll, answered.
What does the Halloween Voodoo Doll effect do?
Three short clips: a woman in a tank top, a man in glasses and a woman in a cardigan are wrapped in strings and turned into burlap voodoo dolls with button eyes.
Does the voodoo doll effect keep my clothes?
In the sample, yes. The first woman's white tank top and jeans, the man's dark sweatshirt and the second woman's cream cardigan all stay on the finished doll, with stitches added. The face and skin turn to burlap with button eyes, and hair becomes yarn of a similar colour. One photo is enough.
