zombie_economics_final-5001

Ever wonder how much the zombie economy is worth? Well up through 2012 this will give you a pretty good idea! (Though I might argue a few of the films listed as ‘zombie’ films…)

You may think they’re just flabby lumps of reanimated flesh, groaning indiscriminately and frightening villagers. But zombies are also supreme cash generators.

Their constant regurgitation in popular culture and wondrous things – like Wish.co.uk’s various zombie experiences – has sent the undead economy booming.

In fact, the zombie economy has been worth an astonishing $5.74 billion to the global economy over the past 4 years.

They’re all calling it (and by “they”, we mean “us”) the Putrid Pound. And and as more films, books, TV shows and fabulous zombie related experiences are created, the stronger it will become.

In fact, according to experts, by 2022 we’ll all be involved in a zombie related industry in one way or another. OK, we made that last fact up…
