The Strain releases animated prequel “The Story of the Occido Lumen”

As far as Vampires go, The Strain has a fairly high creep-factor that you just have to respect. And seeing as of me writing this and the YouTube video has 666 views, I am even more creeped out.

But hey, Guillermo Del Toro knows what he’s doing, and FX released a nice little animated prequel to the hit film-script-turn-comic-book-turn-film-series.

Description reads:

Is this book mankind’s only hope? Discover the history of the Occido Lumen in The Strain’s animated prequel.

The Strain is a high concept thriller that tells the story of “Dr. Ephraim Goodweather,” the head of the Center for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City. He and his team are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph, his team, and an assembly of everyday New Yorkers, wage war for the fate of humanity itself.
