Zombies are Coming!

Few things scream Halloween like a slow-moving horde of the undead—and HallowFX’s “Zombies Are Coming!” delivers just that with a creepy, high-contrast twist. This looping projection features silhouetted zombies set against colorful backdrops, slowly closing in on your window or wall. The shadow-style animation makes it especially effective with low-powered projectors, making it one of the easiest ways to add zombie energy to your haunt.

With red, green, and shadow background options included, you can customize the effect to match your lighting and theme. Whether you’re going for creepy ambiance or full apocalypse vibes, this one adds motion, atmosphere, and a sense of dread that builds with each loop.

Scene and Animation Breakdown

This animation features a small group of shadowy zombies slowly approaching the viewer with staggered steps and swaying arms. The silhouette animation style is simple but effective, allowing each zombie’s movement to pop clearly against the background—especially at night. The motion is slow and deliberate, helping build a sense of tension and anticipation over time.

Included backgrounds:

• Red: creates a sense of danger and intensity
• Green: adds a toxic, undead lab feel
• Shadow (Black/Dark Gray): for clean visibility and a more traditional silhouette look

The video is formatted in 1080p HD and built to loop seamlessly, making it ideal for long-term window display. There’s no audio included, so you can pair it with your own moans, footsteps, or ambient sound effects.

Final Recommendation & Creative Use Case

Zombies Are Coming! is perfect for decorators looking to add subtle, continuous movement to their display without using heavy animation or overpowering visuals. It’s an excellent filler piece between more dramatic effects or as a standalone ambient feature for windows, entryways, or even translucent projection scrims.

Creative use idea: Place this effect in an upper window using the red background and run a synchronized flickering red light from inside to make the zombies appear backlit by flames or warning lights. Layer in low groaning sounds or sirens in the distance for an apocalyptic tone. This subtle scene can serve as a prelude to your more action-heavy zombie projections like Zombie in Glass Box or Zombie Walkers.
