The best part of Halloween, besides the candy, is the costumes. I've enjoyed the rare times I've been able to put together particularly elaborate looks, and I always like seeing how others embrace the spooky season. I lacked the time to do anything on that scale this year, but for fun, I decided to see how well ChatGPT could digitally transform me for Halloween, perhaps inspire a look for next year based on the classic Universal Horror monsters.
ChatGPT’s image tools, when paired with a good selfie, can go surprisingly far in crafting visual alter egos. I wouldn't call the results my undead doppelgangers exactly, but at least in some cases I could believe I'd walked out of the D-movie ripoff of a Universal classic. You can see some of the best results and the prompts behind them below.
