With the cutesy Zombie Singles website, you can upload your own picture, have it ‘zombified,’ and then search for other zombie singles based upon your likes and dislikes (such as getting lit on fire, retirement homes, etc).
Zombie Singles is a hilarious take on regular dating sites, and is for the lazy as it doesn’t require you to actually get dressed up or made up like a zombie.
I uploaded a picture into Zombie Singles and attempted to zombify myself. As is evidenced by my pathetic attempt, my knowledge of zombies and how they look is sorely lacking.
