Sears Creates Zombie Department For Halloween

Check out Sears. Yea, that stodgy old department store your grandparents shopped at. Well, they must be doing something right because they’re still in business and that’s saying a lot what with the closure of so many other department stores and the rise of intense competition from Walmart, BJs, Coscto and the like.

Yes, Sears is still alive and kicking. Well sort of. They’ve gone a bit undead with a new zombie-themed Halloween promotion. Now there’s nothing new or special about the shole zombie thing but for an institution like Sears to latch on is quite impressive.

The online site includes a Zombie Gift Guide, undead experts called the Blue Zombie Crew, a zombie friend maker, My Dead TV and an undead Twitter feed. You can even view the site in Zombian…whatever that is.

Sears. Not your grandparents department store anymore.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
