Halloween AI photo prompts for Gemini and ChatGPT

Use my photo. Keep my face exactly as it is: same features, same skin tone, same age. Do not add wounds or blood. Do not add extra teeth unless the costume I named really has fake teeth, and even then keep my face shape.

Costume to try: [for example a black cat, a paper crown with an old bedsheet, or a pumpkin-coloured sweater and a small plastic bucket].
Where: the front step of [my house or a normal apartment corridor], at night, door open behind me, warm light inside.
I am looking at the camera the way I do in the photo. I am not screaming.

Light: a phone flash, a bit harsh, the way a friend takes the picture before you leave. Vertical 9:16. No text. No famous film character. No weapon.

If the costume would hide my face, push that part up so my face still shows. If I stop looking like me, try again.

Use the photo I upload of two adults. Keep both faces exactly as they are: same features, skin tone, age and expression. Do not swap who is who.

Person on the LEFT wears: [COSTUME A, e.g. a black velvet cape with a high collar]
Person on the RIGHT wears: [COSTUME B, e.g. a dark green witch dress and a pointed hat]

Scene: [an autumn porch at dusk / a candlelit stone staircase / a foggy pumpkin field], with a few carved pumpkins glowing near our feet and light mist at ground level.
Pose: standing close, [arm in arm / back to back], both looking at the camera.
Light: warm pumpkin glow from below plus cool blue dusk light behind us.
Camera: full-length portrait, 50mm look, sharp on both faces, natural skin texture with visible pores, no airbrushing.
Format: 4:5 vertical for an Instagram feed.

Avoid: blood, wounds, weapons, characters from films or TV, brand logos, any text, extra people, extra fingers. If a costume would cover a face, keep the face visible. If either of us stops looking like ourselves, redo it.

Use my photo. I am an adult. Keep my face exactly as it is: same features, skin tone, expression and hairstyle (you may add a slight pale tone and darker lips).

Restyle me as an elegant gothic vampire for Halloween:
- Outfit: a high-collared Victorian coat or gown in black and deep burgundy velvet, lace cuffs, an antique silver brooch. Fully covered, elegant, not revealing.
- Setting: a candlelit castle hall with stone arches, tall candelabras and a heavy red curtain.
- Details: faint red eyes, two very subtle fang tips only when I smile. No blood.
- Light: warm candlelight from one side, deep shadows, a cool moonlit window in the background.
- Camera: 85mm portrait, shallow depth of field, oil-painting-like richness, 4:5.

Avoid: a changed face, gore, revealing clothes, extra fingers, text, logos, watermarks.

Use my photo. I am an adult. Keep my face exactly as it is: same features, expression and hairstyle.

Turn it into a still from an original 1990s teen slasher film (not any real movie or character):
- Scene: I'm in a suburban kitchen at night, holding a cordless phone to my ear, looking toward the camera with a worried expression.
- Behind me: through the dark window, a vague masked figure in a hooded black coat, mostly in shadow and out of focus. The mask is plain and original, not a known film mask.
- Era details: a beige wall phone, a 90s fridge with magnets, a ceiling fan, a small CRT TV glowing in the next room.
- Light: cool blue moonlight from the window, a warm lamp behind me, deep shadows.
- Look: 35mm film, soft grain, slightly crushed blacks, 2.39:1 widescreen crop.

No gore, no weapons in view. Avoid: a changed face, real film logos or titles, text, watermarks.

Turn my uploaded photo into a still from an imaginary late-1980s home-video horror film. Keep my face exactly as it is: same features, expression, skin and hair. I am an adult and must stay recognisable.

Scene: I am standing in a dim hallway of an old house at night, holding a torch pointed slightly down. A door at the far end is open a crack with faint light behind it. Wallpaper with a faded floral print, a picture frame hanging slightly crooked.

Look: VHS tape quality. Soft focus, slight colour bleed around bright edges, magenta-green colour shift, horizontal tracking lines near the bottom, gentle noise, crushed blacks and a slightly washed-out sky-blue cast in the shadows. The torch beam is the main light.

Mood: suspense, not gore. No blood, no weapons, no monsters, no real film titles or characters.

Format: 4:3 frame with thin black bars on the sides so it reads as an old TV picture inside a 16:9 or 4:5 post. Add a small "PLAY ▶" label in the top left in a blocky white font and nothing else. No logos, no watermark.

Edit my uploaded full-body photo into a playful Halloween "pumpkin head" picture.

Keep my body, pose, clothing, hands and background exactly as they are. Replace only my head with a large carved jack-o'-lantern of matching scale, sitting naturally on my neck and shoulders. The pumpkin has a friendly carved face (triangle eyes, wide crooked smile) with a warm candle glow coming through the cuts.

Make it believable: the pumpkin's orange glow should fall softly on my shoulders and collar, its shadow should match the direction of the existing light in the photo, and the edges where it meets my neck should look clean, with a short green stem on top.

Add a light autumn touch to the scene: a few dry leaves on the ground and a slightly cooler, dusky colour grade. Don't move or change anything else.

Format: keep my original aspect ratio and resolution. Realistic photo style, no text, no logos, no watermark. Avoid a floating head, mismatched lighting or scary gore.

Edit my uploaded photo into a nostalgic Halloween snapshot that looks like it was shot on a cheap disposable camera in the late 1990s. Keep my face exactly as it is, same features and expression. The person must be an adult.

Costume cue: keep it small and homemade, e.g. paper cat ears, plastic vampire fangs, a drawn-on skull face-paint detail on one cheek, or a cardboard witch hat. Choose one that suits my photo.

Setting: a slightly messy bedroom at night: a carved pumpkin with a candle on the desk, a bowl of wrapped sweets, a CRT TV glowing in the corner, fairy lights and a paper bat garland on the wall.

Camera look: harsh direct on-camera flash, bright subject and quickly falling-off dark background, slight red-eye is fine, mild motion blur, warm-green colour cast, visible film grain, slightly soft focus, a tiny light leak in one corner.

Format: 4:5 or 3:2, no date stamp, no text, no logos, no watermark. Avoid gore, horror masks over the face and anything that changes my face.

Use the photo I upload of my pet. Keep my pet exactly as it is: same breed, fur colour and markings, eye colour, size and face shape. It must still be clearly my pet.

Dress my pet in a soft, comfortable-looking costume: [a pumpkin hoodie / a tiny bat-wing harness / a little wizard cape and hat / a friendly ghost sheet with eye holes].
Scene: [our living-room floor with a few small pumpkins and fairy lights / a doorstep at night with a bowl of autumn leaves].
Pose: [sitting and looking at the camera / mid head-tilt], relaxed, not scared.
Light: warm, cosy fairy-light glow with soft shadows; slight background blur.
Style: realistic phone photo, sharp on the eyes and whiskers.
Format: 1:1 square.

Avoid: anything that looks tight, painful or unsafe for the animal; fake blood; scary teeth; text; logos; extra legs or tails. Keep fur texture natural, not plastic.

Design a Halloween party invitation card for adults.

Text to place exactly as written, spelled correctly:
- Headline: "[PARTY NAME]"
- Line 2: "[DAY, DATE] · [TIME]"
- Line 3: "[VENUE OR ADDRESS]"
- Line 4: "Costumes encouraged · RSVP [PHONE OR NAME]"

Style: a vintage 1950s horror-film lobby card look. Deep black and burnt orange background with a faded paper texture, a moonlit hill with a crooked house, three carved pumpkins glowing on the porch steps, a few bats against the moon. Headline in a tall, slightly dripping hand-lettered serif; the details in a clean condensed sans-serif for easy reading.

Layout: headline in the top third, illustration in the middle, details in a neat block at the bottom with clear margins.

Format: 5x7 portrait (ratio 5:7), print-ready look. No gore, no blood, no real film titles or characters, no logos, no watermark. Keep all text sharp and legible; don't add any extra words.

Create a printable jack-o'-lantern carving stencil.

Design idea: [e.g. a cat sitting on a crescent moon / a haunted house with two lit windows / a grinning face with crooked teeth].

Rules for a stencil that can actually be carved:
- Pure black shapes on a white background, no grey, no gradients.
- Black = cut out, white = keep. Every white area must stay connected to the outer edge or to a bridge, so no piece falls out when carved.
- Bridges at least 5 mm wide; no lines thinner than that.
- Simple, bold shapes with smooth curves; at most 12 separate cut-out areas.
- Design centred inside a soft oval guideline that shows the pumpkin face area.

Add a small difficulty label at the bottom corner: "Easy", "Medium" or "Hard", based on how many cut-outs you used.

Format: portrait A4 ratio, clean vector look, high contrast, no shading, no text other than the difficulty label, no watermark.

Create a [8 / 10]-second vertical 9:16 video.

Scene: a long, narrow corridor of an old empty mansion at night. Peeling wallpaper, framed paintings with the faces too dark to see, a thin carpet runner, one door at the far end with warm light leaking from under it.

Camera: a single slow forward dolly at walking pace, slightly handheld, from the start of the corridor toward the lit door. No cuts.

What moves: dust drifting through the beam of a weak torch held just off-screen; one painting tilts a few degrees on its own as the camera passes; the light under the far door flickers twice and goes out on the final second.

Light: cold blue moonlight from one side window, a weak warm torch beam, deep shadows.
Sound: floorboards creaking in rhythm with the steps, a distant clock ticking, a low wind; silence in the final second.

No people, no faces, no creatures shown, no blood, no on-screen text, no logos.
