Resident Evil Village s Lady Dimitrescu Was Based On Morticia Addams And Other Wicked Women
A serial killer/noblewoman, a Japanese urban legend, and the Addams Family matriarch were all influences for Resident Evil Village s villain.
In an interview with
IGN, Resident Evil Village art director Tomonori Takano elaborated on how the design for Lady Dimitrescu came to be. The team started with the concept of a bewitching vampire and went on to pull inspiration from several femme fatales including Anjelica Huston s Morticia Addams, Japanese urban legend Hashaku-sama, and 16th-century Hungarian noblewoman/serial killer Elizabeth Báthory. In the early stages of planning, we decided on going with [a] castle and vampires motifs, Tomori told IGN. However, we did not want to be constrained by how vampires have been portrayed in various forms of popular entertainment.

By Katie Honan More than three dozen New York City mayoral candidates are vying for one of the toughest jobs in the country: leading the nation s largest city back to pre-pandemic employment levels while trying to find the funding to do so. In the run-up to the June 22 primary, candidates have been detailing their visions for the city s economic recovery from the Covid-19 crisis, which wiped out nearly 878,000 jobs in the second quarter of 2020, according to the city s Independent Budget Office. Although an estimated 20% of those jobs returned by the third quarter, pre-pandemic levels of employment might not return for years, the IBO says.
