Last month, Capcom unveiled Resident Evil Village's massive vampire woman, Lady Dimitrescu. Standing 9’6” tall (in a hat and heels), she's captured the imaginations of many internet dwellers - who are mostly asking her to step on them. But she's not the first tall gothic hottie to steal people's hearts. According to RE8's art director Tomonori Takano, she's partially inspired by perhaps one of the most famous ominous ladies, Morticia Addams.
"In the early stages of planning, we decided on going with [a] castle and vampires motifs," Takano tells IGN. "However, we did not want to be constrained by how vampires have been portrayed in various forms of popular entertainment."
