# Knitted Zombies Crafts Get Creepy By Cowbag | Published 2008-08-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knitted-zombies-more-unusual-knitted-objects References: [electricbiscuitonline.blogspot](http://electricbiscuitonline.blogspot.com/2005/10/dawn-of-knitted-dead.html) There have been oodles of art which has been created with knitting, from supercars to plates of food. I have also discovered these zombies which I think are really funny and very clever. They are part of the handknitted Zombie campaign from UK-based Hannah Simpson. Obsessed with the 1978 classic Dawn of the Dead, the movie was her inspiration to create a series of hand knitted zombies. She has also done a series featuring Simon Pegg and Shaun of the Dead - the zombie tribute movie. Hannah's Zombies can be found on etsy, of course, and she has also printed a series of cards featuring images of her knitted buddies. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Knitted Artistry:** Opportunities exist for artists and designers to create new and exciting knitted creations. - **Horror-inspired Art:** Artists and designers can draw inspiration from horror movies and themes to create unique works of art. - **Handmade Collectibles:** There is a growing market for handcrafted and unique collectibles like Hannah Simpson's Knitted Zombies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Crafts:** Opportunities exist within the crafts industry to innovate and create new products and designs utilizing knitting techniques. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers could potentially tap into the horror genre to create unique and unconventional works of art. - **Merchandising:** The Knitted Zombie collection illustrates a potential for unique and niche merchandise, particularly within the horror and zombie fandoms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Undead Easter Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-plum-chocolate-zombie-bunny.md) - [Hand-Knit Sci-Fi Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handknit-scifi-sculpture.md) - [Charming Creepy Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears.md) - [Playful Crochet Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crochet-collection.md) - [Knitted New York Subways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/straphangers-lounge.md) - [Horror Film-Inspired Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-for-dinner-cookbook.md) - [Sculpturally Formed Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-zombie.md) - [Sculptural Knitted Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-knitted-objects.md) - [Horror Film-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horrific-crocs.md)
