Grotesque Sporting Balls

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Scare Friends and Knock Down Pins with Your Zombie Bowling Ball

— December 30, 2013 — Pop Culture
When you don't just want to knock down the pins but scare the living daylights out of them so they never get up, reach for your trusty zombie bowling ball.

Made to look like the horrifyingly rotting face of a zombie, the zombie bowling ball features an eyeball popping out of its socket, copious amounts of blood and a male zombie opening it's mouth wide in what I can only imagine to be a bone chilling scream.

Available in weights between 10 to 16 pounds, the zombie bowling ball also comes available in different sized finger drillings, making it the perfect gift for the zombie lover who likes to bowl, regardless if they have dainty fingers or huge kielbasa sausage like mitts.
