Trying to replicate the mystery of horror movies from the silent movie era, 1920s.

Hunyuan:

It can be a bit difficult sometimes, if so it helps to give it some hints, like "1920s", "black and white", "silent movie".

Many of the examples required a frustrating amount of re-rolls.

All showcase images/videos contain ComfyUI workflows.

Wan 2.2:

The Low noise lora has absolutely most effect for style. High noise still affects the outcome, but to a much less degree.

For the showcase, I use 25 steps: 20/5. dpm++_sde scheduler in ComfyUI.

Some prompt examples:

"A woman in a white hospital gown is lying on a bed. A man in a dark suit and a woman in a light-colored dress are attending to her. The setting appears to be a hospital room, with large arched windows in the background. The walls have a textured, almost cave-like appearance, adding a sense of isolation or otherworldliness. The image has a dated feel, likely from a 1920s horror film."

"A vampire, standing next to a stone statue. The vampire is dressed in a dark, Victorian-style suit with a high collar and a cape, typical of his iconic portrayal. He is holding a small object in his gloved hand, with a sinister expression on his face. The background features a stone wall with a textured, aged appearance."
