It is the classic setup of every late-night slasher: a woman on the kitchen phone, pumpkins half-carved on the counter, and a pale masked figure quietly watching from the hall. The bright orange coiled cord and wood cabinets pull in retro domestic detail, while the stalker in the background adds a jolt you only notice on a second look.

Prompt

A ghostface killer should be behind her staring at her, his body should be dimly lit, and he should be standing in the doorway of a dimly lit hallway peaking through to the kitchen, the background behind her should be slightly dark and ominous. Do not change my facial features, do not change my face.

Cinematic Portrait

What this prompt creates

A horizontal scene in an oak-cabinet kitchen. A woman with long wavy strawberry-blonde hair and a black top holds an orange corded phone to her ear, gazing off dreamily. The counter holds two carved jack-o'-lanterns, a bowl of popcorn, newspaper and a matching orange handset base. A small TV glows on the side counter, and a masked man stands in the doorway at right. Light is fairly even daylight rather than night.

Tips for this prompt

Strengthen "night, single lamp, deep shadows, window black" at the start of the prompt; the current output reads as afternoon light.
Pick one decade for the props instead of mixing y2k, 70s, 80s and 90s cues so the scene feels coherent.
Describe the TV image generically, such as "an old horror film on screen," rather than naming a movie the model cannot reproduce.

Who this prompt suits

Suits Halloween profile pictures, spooky-season Instagram series, horror podcast artwork and anyone wanting a personalised retro slasher still starring themselves, ready to share with friends on a spooky movie night.

What makes this prompt work

This is a face-reference prompt; the opening tag and "without changing my face" tell the model to preserve an uploaded likeness. Concrete props, "large 90s style orange chorded phone", "carving tools and pumpkin guts" and "a bowl of popcorn", build the story on the counter. "Standing in the doorway of a dimly lit hallway" places the killer, and the "avocado green and oranges" palette plus "grainy 70s style" sets the vintage colour, though the lighting came out brighter than requested.
