There's a new AI trend that's currently dominating our social media feeds. Remember earlier this year when everyone was making themselves into cute AI box dolls, well now it's the AI Ghostface Scream photo that's got everyone hooked.

Halloween has come early with this new trend, which is all about the classic film Scream. The trend uses AI to make a realistic photo where Ghostface from the horror franchise appears behind in you in your 90s style bedroom while you're lying on your bed completely oblivious.

Want to join in on the trend?

Well you're luck. It's very easy to do - and it's free!

Here's everything you need to know.

How to make your own AI Scream photo with Ghostface

  1. This trend uses Google’s AI chatbot Gemini, so you'll first need to download the app if you don't already have it. Once you've downloaded the app, open it and upload a photo of yourself.
  2. Insert this detail prompt: Create a dreamy Y2K style photo of me laying on shiny pink [can change to a colour of your choice] satin bedding, as I hold a large 90s style chorded phone to my ear and lie in a thoughtful daydreaming pose. Style my hair long with loose curls and pink butterfly clips on each side. I should be wearing delicate jewellery including a dainty gold necklace, accessories and matching gold chunky rings. My makeup is simple yet glamorous with lip gloss and brown lip liner. The room behind is girly with 90s posters. The photo should have a grainy 90s style to it with a light source like a lamp in a dimly lit room at night. The Ghostface killer from Scream should be behind me staring at me, his body dimly lit. He should be standing in the doorway of a dim hallway. The background behind he should be 150 slightly dark and ominous.
  3. Send the message above and wait for your picture to be created.

You can personalise your image even more by adding specific details to the prompt. You could add a bowl of popcorn or sweets, some 90s mags on the bed, or you could even be blowing a chewing gum bubble.

Once you've made your image, you can ask Gemini for a few different variations of the photo to create a cool TikTok video where it swipes between the pictures.

Have fun! We already are just looking at all the pics.
