The person in this photo: keep their face, features, skin tone and build exactly as they are, the same person, not a lookalike. A vertical cinematic 1990s Halloween photo: they lie on a glossy pink satin bed in long-sleeved navy pajamas, listening to a cream corded telephone, the coiled cable crossing the foreground. An amber bedside lamp on the left, magazines and a bowl of popcorn on the right. Far behind them, a friend in a black Ghostface robe and white mask stands still in the dark open doorway. Warm amber practical light, cool shadows, fine analog film grain, natural skin texture, realistic hands. Everyone in the photo is an adult. No blood, wounds, weapons, captions or watermark.
The person in this photo: keep their face, features, skin tone and build exactly as they are, the same person, not a lookalike. A square photorealistic Halloween movie night in a pastel living room: they sit cross-legged on a white sofa in a white tank top and black lounge trousers, laughing at the television, a clear bowl of popcorn in their lap. Beside them a friend in a sparkly hot-pink hooded Ghostface costume and white mask holds their own popcorn. The back of a big flat-screen TV frames the right edge. Pale pink cushions, a soft rug, warm lamplight and TV glow, relaxed and playful. Everyone in the photo is an adult. No blood, wounds, weapons, captions or watermark.
The person in this photo: keep their face, features, skin tone and build exactly as they are, the same person, not a lookalike. A vertical staged Halloween portrait: they wear a long blonde costume wig, a bright striped long-sleeve shirt and blue denim overalls, resting on their elbows on a glossy red satin bed, holding a round lollipop beside their cheek and looking to one side. A Chucky doll sits beside them, separate from them, in striped sleeves and overalls. A glowing jack-o'-lantern in the foreground; colorful string lights, paper bats, cobwebs and a vintage boombox fill the room. Warm pumpkin light, red satin reflections, realistic fabric. Everyone in the photo is an adult. No blood, wounds, weapons, captions or watermark.

A vertical analog horror photo in a modest 1970s kitchen: they stand behind a wooden counter in an oversized blue-and-orange football jersey, answering a bright orange corded telephone. On the counter an open newspaper, two glowing carved pumpkins, pumpkin seeds and a bowl of popcorn. Patterned brown wallpaper, dark cabinets, paper Halloween decorations. A warm lamp lights their face while Michael Myers stands motionless in the dark doorway behind them, his pale mask clear, his body in shadow. Waist-up, muted colors, fine film grain. Everyone in the photo is an adult. No blood, wounds, weapons, captions or watermark.
The person in this photo: keep their face, features, skin tone and build exactly as they are, the same person, not a lookalike. A square cinematic Halloween photo in a small 1980s bathroom with faded green tiles: they stand at the sink in big curly costume-wig hair, applying vivid pink lipstick, close in profile on the left. In the large mirror on the right, their reflection, and Michael Myers several feet behind them, only inside the mirror; the room beside them is empty. The reflection in black and white with a small pink lipstick accent, the foreground in color with magenta-blue light, two vintage hairspray cans on the counter, realistic reflection geometry and film grain. Everyone in the photo is an adult. No blood, wounds, weapons, captions or watermark.

In the reflection, Freddy Krueger in a brown fedora and red-and-green striped sweater stands at a distance, softly out of focus. Dim cool ceiling light, a warm glow on their face, coherent mirror geometry, restrained film grain. Everyone in the photo is an adult. No blood, wounds, weapons, captions or watermark.

Several steps behind them, Pennywise holds one bright red balloon. A turquoise-lit Ferris wheel, colorful game stalls and blurred visitors behind, carnival bulbs against a dark sky, candid 1990s flash photo, fine film grain. Everyone in the photo is an adult. No blood, wounds, weapons, captions or watermark.

A cinematic Halloween costume portrait: they stand alone on an empty wet street at night, in a tousled platinum-blonde bob costume wig, smoky eye makeup and matte black lipstick, a short voluminous white tulle wedding dress under a studded black leather biker jacket and combat boots. They hold a small Chucky doll against their chest with both hands. Cool blue street light, blurred shopfronts, reflections on the pavement, a theatrical but composed mood. Everyone in the photo is an adult. No blood, wounds, weapons, captions or watermark.

The person in this photo: keep their face, features, skin tone and build exactly as they are, the same person, not a lookalike. A square black-and-white wet-plate photograph: they stand outdoors beside a quiet suburban house in a dark Victorian gown with puffed shoulders, a fitted bodice and lace trim, hair pinned high, as a translucent theatrical ghost with a faint skeletal pattern showing through the gown and face, their face still clear. Daylight, trees and overhead wires faintly visible through them. Silver tones, uneven exposure, soft corners, light plate stains, early photographic texture. Everyone in the photo is an adult. No blood, wounds, weapons, captions or watermark.
Use the person in my photo and keep their face, features, skin tone and hair exactly as they are, the same person, not a lookalike.A late-19th-century Halloween portrait of the two people from the two photos, keeping each one's build and posture as in their photo. They stand stiffly outside a worn wooden house, looking straight at the camera through handmade papier-mache masks: one in a dark formal coat, waistcoat and tall hat with a grinning mask, the other in a long high-necked dress with a ruffled collar and a pale skull-like mask. A small carved pumpkin beside the step. Muted sepia, uneven early-photography exposure, soft lens detail, fine grain, slight paper wear, a faded border. Eerie and theatrical. Everyone in the photo is an adult. No blood, wounds, weapons, captions or watermark.

Halloween prompt questions
How do you do the AI Halloween trend?
Pick a prompt above and copy it. In ChatGPT or Gemini, attach a clear photo of yourself, paste the prompt and send it. On PicYep, tap “Use my photo” on the prompt, add your photo and generate; the price shows before anything is made.
Do these Halloween prompts work in Gemini?
Yes. They are written for any image model that takes a photo: Gemini, ChatGPT and the models on PicYep. A model may turn down a prompt that names a film character over copyright; if it does, describe the costume in other words or upload a picture of it.
Why doesn't my Halloween photo look like me?
The AI draws a new picture and can drift from your face, most often with a small, dark or side-on photo. Use a clear photo facing the camera, keep the prompt's first sentence about your face and change one thing at a time.
How do I make a Halloween couple photo with AI?
Use one clear photo of each of you and a couple prompt that says “the two people from the two photos”. On PicYep, add both photos and pick a couple look; you don't need a photo of you together.
What are the pictures on this page?
Each picture shows the look its prompt makes, remade with a fictional person. With your own photo, the person in it is you.
Are these Halloween prompts free?
Yes, every prompt is free to copy and use anywhere. Making the photo on PicYep uses credits: a new account starts with free credits, no card is needed to sign up, and the cost of each photo is shown before you generate.
