Round 1: Horror Art Quality#

Ghostface AI Horror Quality#

Strengths:

• ✅ Authentic Y2K Degradation: Perfect VHS grain, compression artifacts, chromatic aberration
• ✅ Horror Atmosphere: Understands tension, dread, and fear aesthetics
• ✅ Era-Accurate Details: Gets late 90s/early 2000s tech and fashion right
• ✅ Consistent Style: Presets ensure brand coherence
• ✅ Horror Lighting: Built-in cinematic horror lighting understanding

Example Prompt: "Ghostface mask in empty school hallway, flickering lights, VHS footage"

Result: Perfect Y2K slasher aesthetic with authentic tape degradation, proper color grading, and unsettling atmosphere. First try success rate: 85-90%.

Quality Score: 9.5/10 for Y2K horror | 8/10 for modern horror

DALL-E 3 Horror Quality#

Strengths:

• ✅ Photorealism: Exceptional detail and believability
• ✅ Creative Interpretation: Often adds interesting unexpected elements
• ✅ Text Generation: Can include legible text in images
• ✅ Compositional Understanding: Strong grasp of visual storytelling
• ✅ Lighting Mastery: Excellent realistic lighting

Challenges for Horror:

• ⚠️ Content Filters: Often sanitizes horror elements
• ⚠️ Too Polished: Results can look overly clean for certain horror aesthetics
• ⚠️ Y2K Specificity: Requires detailed prompting for authentic retro degradation
• ⚠️ Inconsistent Horror Tone: Sometimes misinterprets horror atmosphere

Same Prompt: "Ghostface mask in empty school hallway, flickering lights, VHS footage"

Result: High-quality image but often too clean/modern unless extensively prompted with era-specific details. May soften horror elements. First try success rate: 40-50% for desired aesthetic.

Quality Score: 8/10 for modern horror | 6/10 for Y2K horror

Winner: Ghostface AI - Superior horror-specific quality, especially for Y2K aesthetics. DALL-E 3 requires 3-5x more detailed prompts to achieve similar results.

Round 2: Content Policy & Restrictions#

Ghostface AI Content Policies#

Philosophy: Horror is art. Support creators while preventing misuse.

Allowed Content:

• ✅ Horror masks, costumes, and creatures
• ✅ Artistic gore and blood in movie-style contexts
• ✅ Scary atmospheres and disturbing imagery
• ✅ Dark themes (death, supernatural, psychological horror)
• ✅ Classic horror movie recreations
• ✅ Body horror and monster designs
• ✅ Abandoned locations and eerie scenes

Blocked Content:

• ❌ Real individuals being harmed
• ❌ Illegal activities
• ❌ Exploitative content
• ❌ Extreme graphic violence against identifiable people

Practical Impact: Horror creators rarely hit content restrictions for legitimate artistic work. The platform understands context.

False Positive Rate: Low (~5% of legitimate horror prompts flagged)

DALL-E 3 Content Policies#

Philosophy: Safety first. Err on side of caution.

OpenAI's Safety System:

• Strong content filtering on inputs and outputs
• Rejects prompts with violence, blood, gore
• Sanitizes outputs even when prompts are accepted
• Strict interpretation of safety guidelines

Challenges for Horror Creators:

• 🚫 Gore/Blood: Often completely blocked or sanitized
• 🚫 Weapons: Even fake horror weapons may be filtered
• 🚫 Disturbing Themes: Psychological horror elements flagged
• 🚫 Death Imagery: Difficult to create cemetery/mortality themes
• 🚫 Horror Movie References: Many iconic horror elements blocked

Workarounds Required:

• Using euphemisms ("red liquid" instead of "blood")
• Abstracting violence
• Multiple prompt attempts
• Focusing on atmosphere over explicit horror

Practical Impact: Significant friction for horror creators. Many legitimate horror concepts simply cannot be created.

False Positive Rate: High (~40-50% of legitimate horror prompts flagged or sanitized)

Winner: Ghostface AI - Dramatically more permissive for legitimate horror art. DALL-E 3's safety filters severely limit horror creative freedom.

Round 4: Prompt Engineering#

Ghostface AI Prompting#

Simple Prompt Effectiveness: Excellent (80-90% success)

Basic Prompt Example:

Abandoned mall, neon signs flickering, scary atmosphere

Result: High-quality Y2K horror mall scene with proper styling.

Why Simple Works:

• Style presets handle aesthetic decisions
• Horror-optimized training data
• Built-in understanding of horror context

Advanced Options:

• Negative prompts (what to avoid)
• Aspect ratio selection
• Style intensity sliders
• Color palette overrides
• Composition guidelines

Typical Prompt Length: 10-30 words for great results

DALL-E 3 Prompting#

Simple Prompt Effectiveness: Moderate (50-60% for specific aesthetics)

Same Simple Prompt:

Abandoned mall, neon signs flickering, scary atmosphere

Result: Decent but often too modern/clean for Y2K aesthetic.

Enhancement Needed for Y2K Horror:

Abandoned shopping mall interior, early 2000s, neon store signs
flickering and dying, VHS camcorder footage quality with grain
and tracking errors, eerie atmosphere, practical effects style,
cinematic horror movie still, dark corners and shadows, found
footage aesthetic, Y2K era details, low-fi photography, nostalgic
dread, desolate and haunting mood

Result: Now closer to desired aesthetic, but still may sanitize scary elements.

Content Filter Navigation:

• Must avoid flagged words
• Use abstract descriptions
• Rely on ChatGPT to rephrase sensitive terms
• Multiple attempts often needed

Typical Prompt Length: 40-80 words for specific horror aesthetics

Winner: Ghostface AI - Requires 3-5x shorter prompts for equivalent horror results. Less filter navigation needed.
