{ "identity": "if a photo is uploaded, the person in the selfie stays the person in the photo: keep the shape of the face, the skin tone, the shape of the nose and the mouth, the hair type, colour and cut, the apparent age, and the freckles, moles and glasses if there are any. The flash blows out the skin, but it does not change a single feature. Do not make the person look younger, do not slim the face and do not smooth the skin. With no photo uploaded, create a 100% fictional person with no resemblance to anyone real", "subject": "a young woman of about 20, long straight brown hair with wispy bangs, a wide smile showing her teeth, looking straight into the lens, happy and distracted, NOT noticing anything behind her", "wardrobe": "a loose knit T-shirt with horizontal red, navy blue and white stripes, no print, no lettering and no brand", "action": "sitting on the bed with her knees bent, taking the selfie with her right arm stretched out toward the camera, the arm leaving the frame at the bottom left edge; with her left hand, she holds to her ear the handset of a translucent landline phone with a coiled cord, its base lying on the bedspread to the right", "intruder": "in the background, about three metres from her, a GENERIC masked figure, created from scratch, peeking through the gap of the half-open bedroom door: a white, SMOOTH mask of a neutral, expressionless human face, with two dark eye holes and a closed, subtle mouth; the body in black clothes disappears into the darkness of the hallway, and only the mask, the side of the shoulder and one hand holding the edge of the door can be seen. The mask appears IN FULL, with both eye holes visible, beside the edge of the door and not hidden behind it. He is not a character from any movie: no elongated mask with a screaming open mouth, no ghost hood", "scene": "a teenager's bedroom on a night in 1996: on the back wall, posters of abstract art and of planets, only shapes and colours and no lettering at all; on the right, a white nightstand with a red lava lamp turned on; a floral bedspread in shades of pink and blue; in the back on the right, the white bedroom door half open onto a completely dark hallway", "composition": "vertical image in a 3:4 ratio, framed from the knees up, the young woman left of centre, her face taking up about 19% of the frame width, with the chin at about 47% of the height; the door and the figure in the upper right corner: the mask takes up only about 5% of the frame width, with its top at about 11% of the height and its centre at about 85% of the width, much SMALLER and darker than her face", "camera": "a 35 mm disposable film camera held in the hand, at arm's length, slightly above eye level and pointing slightly down, fixed wide-angle lens; focus on her face, the background a little softer", "lighting": "hard, frontal built-in flash, blowing out her skin and T-shirt a little and falling off quickly with distance; the shadow of her head is cast on the back wall; the figure in the background gets only what is left of the flash, greyish and almost swallowed by the darkness; the red glow of the lava lamp is the only other light", "color_palette": "warm skin blown out by the flash, the red, navy blue and white of the T-shirt, the pink and blue of the bedspread, the red of the lava lamp, the greyish white of the mask and blacks with a slight green cast", "style": "photorealistic, a developed film photo from a 90s disposable camera, the feel of a silly selfie among friends that only turns scary on the second look; nothing like a horror movie poster or a studio photo", "materials": "35 mm film grain visible across the whole frame, soft cotton knit, clear plastic of the phone, quilted bedspread, matte white plastic mask, glass of the lava lamp", "details": "the young woman does NOT look back and does not know the figure is there: the contrast between her smile and the mask in the dark is what makes the photo; the outstretched selfie arm is out of focus and cut off by the edge; the mask and the hand are the only parts of the figure that can be seen; dark vignette in the corners, slight motion blur", "negative_prompt": "figure beside her posing for the photo, figure the same size as her or as brightly lit as her, mask cut off by the edge of the door, her looking back or looking scared, elongated screaming mask with an open mouth, ghost hood, horror movie character, famous movie mask, knife, blood, modern sharpness, current smartphone photo, portrait background blur, slimmed face, plastic skin, a different person from the photo, date stamp in the corner, letters, numbers, text, watermark, logos or real brands, deformed hands, extra fingers, AI artifacts" }

How to use

The Ghostface trend is a silly 90s selfie with a masked figure showing up behind you, and the scare only works if you do NOT notice. This version uses a generic figure in a smooth white mask (the one from the movie is a trademarked character, and generators often block it), with a flash that blows out your face and leaves the background in the dark. Works in ChatGPT, Gemini and NanoBanana. 1. Upload a front-facing selfie with your face well lit and no sunglasses. 2. Describe yourself in `subject`: age, hair, bangs. A vague field turns into someone else. 3. Swap the clothes in `wardrobe` and the bedroom in `scene`; leave `intruder` as it is. 4. If the masked figure comes out big or posing beside you, try again quoting `composition`: the mask takes up only 5% of the width. 5. If the mask ends up hidden behind the door, ask again: it has to appear in full. Tip: post it without explaining. The scare belongs to whoever notices the background later.
