Zombie couple AI prompts you can copy

These prompts are English versions of the story directions behind the templates on this site. They assume an image-to-video model that accepts two reference photos and a 15 second clip. Paste the role block first, then one story, then the style block.

The role block (use with every story)

The person in @Image1 is the survivor and stays fully human: keep their face, hairstyle, skin tone and build. The person in @Image2 is the survivor's partner and has become a zombie: same face, hair and build, but pale grey skin with faint blue-grey veins, clouded white eyes, torn dusty clothes, slow stiff movement. Their expression is tender; they recognise their partner and are not aggressive.

1. The last embrace

Abandoned city street, overturned cars, broken glass, weeds in cracked asphalt, warm dusk backlight, floating dust. 0–4 s: the survivor aims a pistol at the approaching zombie partner, in tears, hands shaking, and does not shoot. 4–8 s: the partner stops, their eyes meet and the zombie recognises them; the survivor slowly lowers the gun and opens their arms. 8–11 s: the zombie partner runs and throws themselves into the survivor's arms; cut on the hug. 11–15 s: a warm, bright memory in a golden summer field, both of them human, holding each other, laughing and spinning.

2. The zombie wedding

Abandoned stone chapel with a hole in the roof, moonlight and dust falling between the pews, wilted white roses on the floor. The zombie partner stands at the altar in a tattered wedding outfit; the survivor walks slowly up the aisle in dusty formal clothes. 0–5 s: the survivor approaches, the partner slowly turns. 5–10 s: face to face at the altar, the survivor slips a ring on the partner's finger, the partner takes their hand, trembling. 10–15 s: foreheads touching, candlelight flickering, the camera slowly pulls back as moonlight fills the chapel.

3. Rooftop sunset

High-rise rooftop, a silent ruined skyline with a few columns of smoke, a huge orange-red setting sun. 0–5 s: both sit side by side on the edge, backs to the camera, in silhouette. 5–10 s: the survivor rests their head on the partner's shoulder, the partner stiffly lifts an arm around them. 10–15 s: the camera moves round to the front, the sunset lights both faces, the survivor smiles through tears, the corner of the partner's mouth lifts slightly.

4. Rain reunion

Night, heavy rain on a city street, broken neon signs flickering, puddles reflecting cyan and pink light. 0–4 s: the survivor walks alone under a torn umbrella, hears slow footsteps behind and turns. 4–9 s: the zombie partner stands in the rain, water running down their face, a few steps apart; the survivor drops the umbrella. 9–15 s: the survivor runs forward and embraces them in the downpour, slow-motion orbit, neon glinting in the raindrops.

5. Before the fall

0–6 s: a bright, warm memory in a sunny city park, both people healthy and human on a first date, sharing ice cream and laughing, saturated colours. 6–7 s: white flash transition. 7–15 s: the same park, now overgrown and ruined under a grey sky; the survivor sits alone on the same bench, the zombie partner walks slowly out from behind a tree and sits beside them, the survivor takes their hand, both look into the distance, cold colour grade.

The style block

Cinematic, realistic texture, shallow depth of field, light film grain, smooth camera movement. Emotional piano and strings with ambient sound. A romantic, heartbreaking story with no gore close-ups, no wound close-ups and no violent action. No text, subtitles, stickers or watermarks in the frame.

Tips for writing your own zombie love story prompt

• Fix the roles first. Say who stays human and who turns, and tell the model to keep both faces. Without it, models often zombify both people or swap them halfway.
• Time the beats. Give each beat a second range that adds up to the clip length. Three or four beats is plenty for 15 seconds; more and the motion gets rushed.
• Name the light. Dusk backlight, moonlight, neon in rain or a low sun do more for the mood than adjectives like "sad".
• Keep it non-gory. Describe the zombie by skin, eyes, clothes and movement, and state that it is gentle. This is what gets prompts past safety filters.
• Ban text. Ask for no captions or watermarks, otherwise models sometimes invent signs and subtitles.

Or don't write one at all

Zombie Couple AI already runs tuned versions of these prompts for each story, with role handling, timing and safety wording tested on real photos. You only upload two portraits and pick a template such as Rain Reunion or Before the Fall. See the AI zombie couple video generator for what you get, or pricing for the cost per video.
