For this subject: Restrict the palette to orange and near-black. A third colour breaks the Halloween shorthand.
  • Light from inside the pumpkin only — external light removes the entire effect.
  • Describe the lighting itself — "hard low side-key with deep negative fill" locks a cinematic look without naming a real person.
  • Ask for one light source only; cinematic images live on contrast.
  • Add "negative fill on camera left" for deeper, more expensive-looking shadows.
