These scenes put you in an early-2000s horror setup with a hooded figure in a white ghost mask. Some are played for laughs, like sitting on its lap in a studio, and others lean eerie, like a selfie with the figure standing right behind you.

They suit Halloween posts, horror fan accounts and anyone who likes the Y2K flash-photo look. Each prompt below is a Reshot AI template you can open with a selfie, or copy and paste into another image tool.

How these templates use your photo

Each template starts from a photo you pick. The prompt tells the model what to change, and your photo is the reference for everything else. Clear, front-facing photos with even light give the closest match.

1. Laughing on Ghostface's lap
