Chia Pets are associated with being [cute decorative planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tendril-1) from yesteryear, but the [Chia Zombie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/billie-chia-pet) planter aims to help bring them back in a gruesome way.

Entitled Dragging Drew, the Chia Zombie planter features a member of the undead dragging himself across the green earth. The greenery of the scene is what grows on this Chia Pet and helps add a pop of color to the otherwise [creepy scene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears) being created.

The Chia Zombie decorative planter is handmade and will achieve full growth in about one to two weeks. The kit comes packed with enough seeds for up to three plantings, which means it can be brought out just for the Halloween season and put away afterward for the following year.
