Halloween hybrids: Halloween and Christmas

By Charlie King

This Holiday Hybrid Article is about how well AI can use prompts to create a holiday image, while also answering the deepest questions you have, so deep, that you haven’t even thought about it. 

The Prompt: A council of Santa Claus, a Jack-o-Lantern king, a Snowman in a black cloak and a vampire in a Christmas sweater, glowing candles, snowy forest background. 

I think this is really weird; the Snowman and the Jack-o-Lantern are combined together to create something that shouldn’t exist, and WHERE DID THE VAMPIRE GO?  

The Rating: Halloween side- 2/5 Skulls, Christmas side- 3/5 Bells 

My Name for the Image: The Three Wise Guys 

The Prompt: A sleigh made of a carved pumpkin, flying through a dark sky pulled by reindeer wearing witch hats. 

I... don’t know what to say. Here it is in list format: 

1. Why is the moon yellow? 

2. Why is only one reindeer wearing a hat?

3. Why is the pumpkin a violent shade of “carrot”?

4. Why are the sleigh and reindeer facing the same way?

5. I know this creates a mood, but why are there puffs of orange smoke!

My Name for the Image: Messed Up 

The Prompt: A spooky haunted house made of gingerbread and icing, candy cane fences, glowing windows, eerie fog. 

This is exactly what I want, but the house looks staged, not in the middle of the woods or anything. Though this is a pretty good image. There’s not much “Halloween” going on so...

My Name for the Image: Sweet Horror House 

The Prompt: A snowman with glowing eyes, wearing a witch’s hat, surrounded by pumpkins in snow, and an eerie blue sky. 

This image is... unexpectedly cute. The blue also makes the snowman look SO ADORABLE! The more I look at the snowman the cuter it gets, also the pumpkins are fantastic. But to be honest, even if the Halloween side isn’t scary, it’s still cute.

My Name for the Image: The Snowman’s Pumpkin Field 

The Prompt: Halloween and Christmas’ teenage girl, dark snowy background, floating Jack-o-Lanterns, scary Christmas sweater, creepy Christmas. 

Ok, you caught me. Halfway through I changed the prompt to “twins” instead of “teenage girl”. But the teenage girl image is alright, though I don’t think that their child would look like that. She’s too stereotypical. But the twin photos are too much, like Halloween overload. The only Christmas thing about these images is the snow, and in Australia, we don’t even have snow!
