Introduction
The Ghostface AI trend makes it possible to generate credible images in just a few steps that show the iconic mask figure Ghostface in the door frame behind a person. This is achieved with Google Gemini's image features and a precise prompt. However, labeling obligations and copyright must be observed. Ghostface is the mask figure from the Scream series, whose design and name 'GhostFace' belong to the mask manufacturerFun World/Easter Unlimited. The technical implementation is carried out viaGoogles Gemini mit Bildfunktion, , which is also known as 'aka Nano Banana' andBildgenerierung und -bearbeitung which enables. Google emphasizes that images can be uploaded, elements added and scenes iteratively refined. Alternatively, generation is also possible viaVertex AI/AI Studio possible.
Technology and implementation
Since the end of September 2025, step-by-step guides have circulated showing how to generate a Y2K bedroom photo of yourself with Gemini while Ghostface stands in the dark door frame. The motifs are relatively uniform, often with bed, 90s phone, popcorn and dimmed lighting. Google is promoting Gemini's image features in parallel, including uploading, precise prompts and step-by-step refinement. In particular, a prompt form with 90s flavor, bed scene and a darkened Ghostface in the door frame is used for generation. The trend works well because the visual formula – Y2K room aesthetics plus iconic horror figure – is clear and repeatable. The image editing is possible directly in Gemini from the app, including object additions, which lowers the entry barrier. Platform dynamics drive spread, as easily copyable prompts and slideshows encourage quick remixes. The growing use of Gemini's image features also plays a role; Google explicitly cites the strength of the current image models and givesPrompt-Tipps.

Background and context
The Ghostface mask figure is a central element of the Scream film series. The rights to the design and the name 'GhostFace' belong to the mask manufacturerFun World/Easter Unlimited. . This is relevant because the use of the figure in AI-generated images can raise copyright questions. The image features of Google Gemini, used for this trend, are also known in the developer docs as 'aka Nano Banana' and enable uploading images, adding elements and iterative refinement of scenes. This is not a simple filter function, but a generative image editing with prompt control. The popularity of the trend on platforms like TikTok shows how quickly visual formulas spread when they are easily reproducible and rely on a well-known pop culture reference.

Legal and ethical aspects
The use of Ghostface in AI-generated images raises questions regarding copyright and trademark rights. TheGhostface-Maske und der Name gehören Fun World/Easter Unlimited, and there are protections. It is unclear to what extent Ghostface imagery may be used commercially, as this can vary depending on use and country. Platforms like TikTok and Meta/Instagram increasingly require labeling for realistically appearing AI images. TikTok explicitly explains when and howAI-Labels eingesetzt werden, , and Meta/Instagram label AI content more broadly as well. This transparency requirement is supported by civil society actors who view labeling as a 'standard solution'. Practically, this means that users can reproduce the image idea, but should clearly label it and avoid realistic depictions in sensitive contexts.

Practical guide
To implement the Ghostface AI trend, you log intoGemini ein, öffnet die Bildfunktion und lädt ein Selfie hoch. An example prompt could be: 'Photo of me in a 90s room, I lie on the bed with a wired phone; warm, dim lamp light; film-like grain; Ghostface stands dimly in the door frame behind me; looking at the camera; 9:16, realistic, natural skin tones.' This prompt can be adjusted to generate variants and sharpen lighting or positions, e.g., 'darker hallway, edge shadow at the mask, subtle reflections'. After generation, the image is exported in the desired aspect ratio. When posting on platforms like TikTok or Instagram, it is important to have aAI-Label zu setzen. Optional, a voice-over in the style of Ghostface with TTS voices and editing via CapCut or corresponding templates can be added. Google provides reliable prompt tips; the more specific the scene, lighting, clothing and perspective, the better the results. For simple editing steps or tests, additionallyStudio/Vertex can be used.

Conclusion and Outlook
The Ghostface AI trend is achievable in a few, transparent steps: open Gemini, upload a selfie, formulate a precise prompt for scene, lighting and positions, check variants, clearly label and only then publish. It is crucial to respect the rights holders (Fun World) regarding names and design and to avoid deceptive contexts. This keeps the effect strong and the usage fair, traceable and compliant. Open questions remain regarding the allowed use of iconic characters in AI images, especially in advertising or merchandise, since copyright, trademark, and personality rights must be checked depending on purpose and country. Platforms are expanding their AI labeling mechanisms, but the consistency of detection and reach consequences remain unclear.
