When the Zombie Curse Spans Centuries
Krakom Studios presents LOVE . DEATH . EAT . REPEAT, an ambitious horror epic that reinvents the zombie genre by placing it in an expansive historical context. The story begins in 1345 in Wharram Percy, England, where Zabrina, a Persian princess newly married to the aristocrat Lord Percy, undergoes a terrible transformation during a Halloween night that triggers a journey through the centuries. A reinvention of the zombie myth that combines horror, historical drama, and dark fantasy.
The Tragedy of a Princess Between Worlds
Zabrina represents a unique figure in horror: a zombie protagonist aware of her condition, struggling to reclaim a humanity that was brutally taken from her. Her status as a Persian princess in medieval England adds layers of cultural and social alienation to her already tragic situation, creating a narrative where the supernatural intertwines with real historical and cultural conflicts.
Standout Narrative Elements
- Conscious zombie protagonist with agency
- Historical setting spanning centuries
- Fusion of Persian and medieval European cultures
- Exploration of worlds beyond mortality
The Journey Through Human History
What distinguishes this work is its unprecedented temporal ambition in the zombie genre. By following Zabrina through hundreds of years and multiple cultures, the narrative can explore how the zombie condition manifests and is perceived in different historical contexts, from medieval Europe to modern times, creating a rich tapestry of horror and reflection on human nature.
Inspiration for Visual Creators
- Design of historical characters with supernatural elements
- Recreation of multiple historical periods
- Fusion of diverse cultural aesthetics
- Representation of physical decay through the centuries
A demonstration of how established genres can be renewed through the expansion of their temporal scope and the deepening of their cultural and historical context.
For 3D artists and character designers, LOVE . DEATH . EAT . REPEAT offers a fascinating challenge: visualizing the evolution of the same character through different historical eras while maintaining her monstrous essence. The need to design variations in wardrobe, environment, and physical appearance that reflect different historical periods provides unique creative opportunities for projects in ZBrush, Blender, or Marvelous Designer 🕰️.
And so a 14th-century Persian princess ends up turned into a zombie traversing history... though probably maintaining character design consistency through 700 years is more challenging than the zombie curse itself 😅.
