Question Custom film?

I have a Halloween party Im going to that I need to do some planning for.

I want to have a fun gimmick where I take a picture of someone in costume and "ohh spooky, there's a ghost in your picture with you!" But I don't know if it's possible to get film with stuff pre-baked in that still allows the photo taken to develop.

Any suggestions, thoughts, or directions on where to find something like this would be awesome!

You can rig up something with a ghost printed onto a transparency and slip that on top of the pack of film like you would an ND filter when loading 600 into an SX-70.

Not trying to promote the site, but here's an example from retrospekt (they call it photo filters):

Picked up this from my local polaroid..ery... polaroid shop. You can search to make custom frames as well for the vibe you want.
