{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"CreativeWork","name":"VHS Horror Cover: Star in a Lost 80s Horror Movie","abstract":"Turn your selfie into the worn VHS box cover of a forgotten 80s horror film — your title, your tagline.","text":"Use the attached photo as the identity reference. Create the front cover of a worn VHS tape box for a forgotten {{Year}} horror movie, with the person as the frightened-but-brave lead character.\n\nIDENTITY:\nPreserve the person's recognizable face, facial structure, skin tone, hairstyle, age, and gender. Keep glasses, facial hair, and distinctive features. Give them a dramatic expression — wide eyes looking over their shoulder, or a determined stare — and dress them in era-appropriate {{Year}} clothing such as a denim jacket, oversized sweater, or windbreaker. Keep the face clearly recognizable.\n\nARTWORK:\nPainted 1980s movie-poster illustration style: airbrushed highlights, dramatic rim lighting in red and electric blue, heavy shadows, and a slightly exaggerated cinematic composition. The lead fills the lower two-thirds of the cover. Behind them, {{Setting}} looms in the background with a huge glowing full moon, drifting fog, and the silhouette of a mysterious shadowy figure — suggested, never shown clearly. Keep it spooky and atmospheric, with no gore.\n\nTITLE AND TEXT:\nAt the top, the title \"{{Movie Title}}\" in huge, bold, dripping 80s horror lettering with a chrome-and-red gradient, perfectly spelled. Below the artwork, the tagline \"{{Tagline}}\" in smaller condensed white capitals. Add a small \"{{Year}}\" and a tiny fictional studio logo in a bottom corner. Do not add any other words.\n\nVHS WEAR:\nMake it look like a real rental tape box found in a garage: faded colors, creased and scuffed cardboard edges, a slightly peeling clear plastic sleeve with glare, a faded orange \"BE KIND, PLEASE REWIND\" sticker in one corner, and a price sticker reading \"$2.99\".\n\nCOMPOSITION:\nVertical 2:3 VHS box cover, front view, filling the whole frame.\n\nAVOID:\nGore, blood, weapons pointed at the person, real movie titles, real studio logos, misspelled text, extra words, modern clothing, watermarks, and a face that doesn't look like the person.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jake The Prompter","handle":"jaketheprompter","official":false},"genre":"Image","dateCreated":"2026-10-12T07:34:53.735Z","url":"https://picoprompt.app/p/POTAEK4W","usage":{"model":"Any chat model","variables":["Year","Setting","Movie Title","Tagline"],"variableDefinitions":[{"name":"Movie Title","defaultValue":"THE LAST SLEEPOVER","options":[]},{"name":"Tagline","defaultValue":"Some friends never leave.","options":[]},{"name":"Year","defaultValue":"1987","options":["1982","1985","1987","1989"]},{"name":"Setting","defaultValue":"a fog-covered summer camp at night","options":["a fog-covered summer camp at night","an empty shopping mall after closing","a creaky lake house","a small-town drive-in theater"]}]},"examples":[{"name":"VHS Horror Cover: Star in a Lost 80s Horror Movie example","sourceImage":"https://picoprompt.app/api/images/b9b2d39f-b795-4a38-a582-5a7530125f94.webp","sourceImages":[{"label":"Image Input","image":"https://picoprompt.app/api/images/b9b2d39f-b795-4a38-a582-5a7530125f94.webp","alt":"Image input for VHS Horror Cover: Star in a Lost 80s Horror Movie"}],"outputImage":"https://picoprompt.app/api/images/a89b2595-247e-4110-a663-9d8761740510.webp","sourceAlt":"Image input for VHS Horror Cover: Star in a Lost 80s Horror Movie","outputAlt":"Image result for VHS Horror Cover: Star in a Lost 80s Horror Movie"}]}
