How to Do the Halloween AI Trend in Gemini (Step by Step)

Use the prompt with an image editor that supports reference photos. Controls and availability vary by tool.

Pick a clear photo. Use a well-lit, front-facing photo where your face isn't covered. For couples, use one photo with both of you.
Open Google Gemini. Go to gemini.google.com or open the Gemini app and sign in with your Google account.
Upload your photo. Tap the + or image icon and select your photo.
Copy a prompt from this page. Click “Copy prompt” on any style above.
Paste and send. Paste the prompt into the Gemini chat box together with your photo and hit send.
Refine if needed. If your face looks different, reply: “Keep my face exactly the same as the original photo.” You can also ask for changes like “make it darker” or “add more fog.”
Download and share. Save the image and post it to TikTok or Instagram with #HalloweenAITrend.

Tips for Better Halloween AI Photos

Use a photo taken in daylight or soft indoor light — dark selfies lose facial detail.
Avoid sunglasses, hats or heavy beauty filters in the original photo.
One person per photo works best; for two people, keep both faces clearly visible.
If the result looks like a different person, regenerate — AI results vary each time.
Keep the negative line (“no text, no watermark”) — it asks the model to avoid unwanted lettering, though results can vary.

Halloween AI Trend FAQ

What is the Halloween AI trend?

In this photo trend, people upload a selfie to an AI image tool like Google Gemini and use a detailed prompt to turn it into a cinematic Halloween portrait — witches, vampires, vintage party photos and spooky movie-style scenes.

How do I do the Halloween AI trend in Gemini?

Upload a clear photo of yourself to Gemini, copy one of the prompts on this page, paste it together with your photo and send. The step-by-step guide on this page walks you through it.

Are these Halloween AI prompts free?

Yes. Every prompt on this page is free to copy and use. Availability and usage limits depend on your chosen image tool and account.

Why does my face look different in the AI photo?

AI image models sometimes drift from your original features. Use a clear, front-facing photo, keep the line "keep my face exactly the same" in the prompt, and regenerate if needed.

Can I use these prompts for couples?

Yes — the Pumpkin Patch Couple and Haunted Mansion Couple prompts are written for two people. Upload one photo with both of you to help the model distinguish both people; likeness is not guaranteed.

Do these prompts work in ChatGPT or other AI tools?

Yes. They work in most image-editing AI tools that accept a photo plus a text prompt, including ChatGPT, though results vary by tool.
