The master prompt
START FRAME (image): Grainy flash photograph, late-90s film look: a cozy bedroom at night, the person from the uploaded photo sitting on the bed looking at the camera with a relaxed smile, pink satin bedding, soft cluttered background slightly blurred. Standing silently in the dark doorway behind them: a tall figure in a black hooded robe wearing a long white expressionless mask, motionless. Film grain, harsh direct flash, slight motion blur on the edges. VIDEO (9:16, 6 seconds): Start on the same frame. Slow cinematic push-in toward the bed over 6 seconds; the figure in the doorway does not move; the hallway light flickers once. Keep the person's face, hair and body exactly unchanged. Grainy, low-light, flash-photo aesthetic. SOUND: Silence, then one low synth pulse. NEGATIVE: Face changes, figure walking, blood, knife, text, watermarks.
