What is the Ghostface AI trend?

The Ghostface AI trend turns a selfie into a still from a 1990s slasher film: you are on a corded phone in a dim room, frightened, and Ghostface from Scream stands in the doorway behind you. Know Your Meme traces it to an Instagram post on 25 September 2025 and says most people made theirs with Google Gemini, often posted to a remix of "Deceptacon" by Le Tigre.

It comes back every Halloween because it only needs one photo and reads at a glance. Our template keeps your face, hair and glasses, puts you in a 90s kitchen with a beige wall phone and adds the masked figure in the dark doorway, with film grain and warm tungsten light.

How to make the Ghostface AI trend

  1. Pick your photo

    You need one photo of one person. Your face goes on the person taking the call. A clear selfie is enough: the photo is framed from the waist up, so the face carries the likeness.

  2. Upload and confirm

    Drop the photo into the maker on this page and confirm you have permission. It goes straight to private storage and is deleted after 30 days.

  3. Wait a moment

    The Ghostface AI trend usually takes under a minute. You can start another one while it works; it waits in Your videos and photos.

  4. Download and post

    Download the 2K 9:16 photo without a watermark and post it to Stories, TikTok photo mode or your profile. Label it as AI-generated where the app asks.
