GPT-Image Monthly Theme Gallery: October 2026 Theme Is The Macabre

Hi and welcome everyone!

We in the @Image_Enthusiasts group have decided that October’s image theme will be… The Macabre! :tada:

This theme is more focused due, in part, to upcoming Halloween festivities.

There is no single “correct” way to interpret the theme, so don’t overthink it. Play with your prompts, experiment with the image models, try something new and most importantly, enjoy creating!

A few little asks to keep the gallery enjoyable for everyone:

  • Please share images related to this month’s theme. Images that don’t fit the theme can be shared in the General AI Gallery.

  • Only post images generated with OpenAI models.

  • Keep the number of images in a single post limited to two.

  • Please don’t repeatedly repost the same image.

  • If you share your prompt and let us know whether you’re simply sharing or would like help. You can also check more here Collection of GPT-image-generator 2.0 issues, bugs, and work-around tips (check first post).

  • Political content should be avoided. NSFW-LITE content must be placed inside a hide details/spoiler section.

  • Please don’t post video links or non-OpenAI website links.

  • Keep it positive, respectful and easy for everyone to browse.

Loving these! I think we should create a coffee table book “OpenAI Dev Community Image Gallery”. Maybe best pics for each month? Will be difficult to curate. Could be done as a fundraiser for some charitable cause.
