Zombies Find Love with New Mobile Dating App

In recent years, the zombie population has multiplied on a global scale. Zombies now make up a significant part of society, starring in countless video games, movies and popular television shows. Though they love to feast on human flesh, we havewhole-heartedly embraced the zombie community, turning them into a culturalphenomenon.

Recognizing a massive opportunity in the marketplace for a dating service that catered to zombie singles, Noise developed ZombieConnect, the first official mobile dating app for the walking dead- available on iTunes, and coming soon to Android.

Not a zombie? Zombie Connect allows everyday people to zombify themselves, browse profiles of fellow flesh-eaters and connect via Facebook.

Whether you’re looking for long-term love, a casual date or just someone to eat brains with, Zombie Connect is the perfect platform for bringing decomposing corpses together. Testimonials are pouring in fromzombies like Gorey Gretta, who used Zombie Connect to meet her now husband Bloody Barry. As they celebrate their first wedding anniversary she could not be happier, explaining:

“Eeeeeiiiibllllaaaaaahhh! Baahhh! Baaahhh! Fhhhpphhhh, ddaamumumum- kebbbblluuh, fluuh, fluuh. Kaaaaaahh!!!” - Gretta

You can get the Zombie Connect app for free at the iTunes App store. Get it Here.

With so many zombie-related cultural festivities coming up this month (Halloween), there’s no better time for you to find your slowly rotting soul mate.
