What happens in 15 seconds

Every video follows the trend’s four beats, with the sound already cut in. You choose who’s in it and the world.

  1. Lena, in tears, aims a handgun down an ash-filled street0:00–0:03

    The choice

    One of you has turned. The other has the gun, the promise and every reason, and can’t do it.

  2. Close-up of Theo, turned, his ring still on his raised hand0:03–0:05

    Recognition

    Something behind those clouded eyes still knows a name, and the ring is still on.

  3. Lena has dropped the gun and opens her arms as Theo rushes toward her0:05–0:08

    The embrace

    The gun hits the ground. Arms open. The one who turned runs to meet them.

  4. Hard cut: Lena and Theo laughing cheek to cheek in a meadow at sunset0:08–0:15

    The cut

    Hard cut to a warm memory of the two of you on your best day.

Templates for everyone you’d hold on to

Couples started it. Pets made it cry. Every template uses the same two photos.

  • Lena reaches out a hand as Theo, turned, stumbles toward her through the ash
    Lena and Theo running hand in hand on a beach at sunset

    Couples

    The original zombie hug. One of you turns, the other can’t let go, and the video cuts to a warm memory of the two of you. Each world ends on its own.

    Four worlds, four endings · Sample: Ash street

  • Bao opens his arms as Mango, turned, comes toward him
    Bao catches Mango, healthy again, in a sunny park

    Dog & owner

    Your dog turns, and still knows exactly who you are. The cut lands on a sunny day together, a different one in every world.

    Four worlds, four endings · Sample: Ash street

  • Mia reaches out as Pickle, turned, crouches by the dead escalators
    Mia swings Pickle up on a picnic lawn under string lights

    Cat & owner

    Your cat turns, ignores you on principle, then climbs into your arms anyway. The cut lands on a warm day together, a different one in every world.

    Four worlds, four endings · Sample: Dead mall

  • Grace reaches out a hand as her father stumbles toward her
    Grace and her father running hand in hand across a summer lawn

    Parent & child

    For grown-up kids and the parents who held the bike seat. The parent turns, you don’t let go, and the cut goes back to a day you both remember.

    Four worlds, four endings · Sample: Ash street

  • Priya braces, eyes shut, under the broken skylight
    Priya and Sam laughing over cotton candy under a ferris wheel

    Best friends

    Your best friend turns, and you were never going to leave them. The cut lands on a day you still talk about.

  • Luis, turned, throws his arms around Diego in the deep snow
    Diego and Luis lying back in the grass of a sunset field

    Siblings

Zombie trend FAQ

All questions
What is the AI zombie trend?

A short-video trend on TikTok, Reels and Shorts, also called the zombie hug or the zombie love story. One person has turned into a zombie, the other can’t bring themselves to end it, they hold each other, and the video hard-cuts to a happy memory of the two of them. AI Zombie makes that 15-second video from your own photos.

How do I make the zombie hug video?

Pick who it’s for: your partner, best friend, parent, sibling, dog or cat. Add a photo of each of you and pick the world where you meet again, then press Make our video. You get a 15-second MP4 with sound, ready to post.

Can I do the zombie trend for free?

Yes, if you make it yourself. Start from a CapCut zombie template, or make the shots with the free credits on Dreamina or Kling using the shot prompts on our prompts page, then join them in CapCut with a hard cut. Expect watermarks, short clips, daily limits and a few tries to keep both faces the same. AI Zombie itself isn’t free: one finished video starts at $6.90, paid once, with sound, no watermark and no subscription. If it fails, your credits come back automatically.

Can I make the zombie trend in CapCut?

Yes. Search “zombie” in CapCut’s Templates tab and swap your photos or clips in, or edit your own four shots: the choice, recognition, the embrace and the memory, about 4, 4, 3 and 4 seconds, with the hard cut on the beat drop. Export in 9:16. Templates change from week to week and every result looks like the template. Or add two photos here and get the finished 15-second video, already cut and with sound.

Can I make the zombie trend video with my dog or cat?

Yes. Pick Dog or Cat, then add a photo of you and one of your pet. Your pet turns and still knows you, and the video ends on a warm memory of the two of you, like fetch in the park or a nap in the sun. Use a photo where your pet is looking at the camera.

Can I choose the scene or the ending?

Yes. Pick one of four worlds: Ash street, Snowbound, Dead mall or Last train. Each has its own cold opening and its own warm memory to cut to, like a summer meadow or a slow dance in the kitchen. The story stays the trend’s: the moment they can’t shoot, recognition, the embrace, then the hard cut.

How do I keep our faces the same in the zombie video?

It comes down to the photos. AI video tools rebuild each face from its photo in every shot, so a blurry, dark or side-on photo is what makes a face drift, zombie or not. Use one sharp photo per person or pet, face to the camera, in even light, with no sunglasses or filters. In other tools, start every clip from the same stills instead of describing yourselves in text. Here your two photos are the reference for the whole video, the zombie scene and the memory alike.

Does the video show a gun?

The opening follows the trend: the one who stays human lowers a rifle they can’t bring themselves to use. If the video model won’t render that shot, we automatically remake it without the weapon. There’s nothing for you to choose.

What if a video fails?

Your credits come back automatically, and the video page tells you what went wrong and how to fix it, usually by using a clearer photo.

What happens to my photos?

They are used only to make your video. They are deleted automatically 7 days after upload. We don’t use them to train AI models.

What if I close the payment page?

Nothing is charged until you press Pay on Stripe. Go back and your photos are still on the form: press Make our video to pick a pack again. If you closed the tab, you may need to add the photos again. A payment that went through is already on your account as credits, and they never expire.

Send it to the one you’d never leave behind.

Two photos, fifteen seconds, sound on. If it fails, you’re refunded.
