What it does
This prompt instructs the AI to use the provided person’s reference photo to create a grainy, analog-looking 1990s horror-cinema portrait set in a dim movie theater, with the subject seated beside Ghostface while clearly sharing a popcorn bucket and reacting wide-eyed to the screen. It specifies wardrobe and makeup inputs, arranges multiple rows of iconic horror characters in the background for depth, and enforces constraints such as preserving the subject’s facial features, maintaining realistic screen-lit lighting and proportions, and avoiding modern additions, gore, or disturbing violence—resulting in a nostalgic, playful, cinematic still with authentic retro film texture.

How to run
Step 1: Collect inputs
First, run and filter to to discover valid models and available options:
Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.
Then collect all inputs from the human:
- Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):

- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model and its available options. Look up in the output (filtered to modality ) and show its as: . Mark a value if it matches these defaults: .
- If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model , options . Other models from the resources call are also available.
If the required images are missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values. Tell the human: "Please provide images in this order: image 1 (Upload your photo)".
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's as the positional argument (for this skill, use ).

- If the human does not mention options, omit and BetterPrompt will use the default options: .
- If the run times out, the response will include a you can use to fetch the result later.
