# Undead T-Shirts The Instant Zombie Costume Tee Makes Being Dead Effortless By Allison Love | Published 2010-05-09 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-zombie-costume-tee References: [likecool](http://likecool.com/Turn_Into_A_Zombie--TShirt--Style.html) & [deezteez](http://deezteez.com/funny-t-shirts/460/turn-into-a-zombie-t-shirt.html?SSAID=112726) The Instant Zombie Costume Tee is the perfect t-shirt for nerds who just love to weird people out. The t-shirt features a simple slogan on the outside that reads "Ask Me About My Zombie Shirt." Simple enough, right? Wrong--whatever you do, do *not* ask a wearer about this t-shirt, because the inside of the Instant Zombie Costume Tee is a lovely portrait of a zombie that covers the wearer's face. Simply hilarious--until you have to see the wearer's flabby belly and unfortunately unfit physique. However, the shirt still is mildly funny on its own. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Instant Zombie Costume Tee:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the market for novelty t-shirts that incorporate surprising and unexpected visual elements, creating a unique and humorous experience. - **Nerd Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop clothing and accessories specifically targeted towards nerds and geeks, tapping into a niche market with a strong sense of identity and community. - **Interactive Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine fashion with technology to create apparel that engages and interacts with the wearer, offering a novel and immersive experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce unconventional and quirky fashion items that cater to niche interests, providing an alternative to traditional clothing options. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with entertainment franchises to create unique and immersive merchandising opportunities, such as t-shirts that transform or reveal hidden elements when worn. - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge fashion with wearable technology to create interactive garments that add value to the user's experience, enabling new possibilities in self-expression and personal style. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Horror Manga-Inspired Graphic Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-and-junji-ito.md) - [Adorable Monster-Inspired Graphic Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-monsters.md) - [Anime Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geeks-rule.md) - [Undead Easter Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-plum-chocolate-zombie-bunny.md) - [Anime-Inspired Graphic Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uzumaki.md) - [Playful Character Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-collection.md) - [Dark Vampire-Series Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vampire-slayer-collection.md) - [Limited-Edition True Crime Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serial-killer-shop.md) - [Paranormal Cartoon Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/journal-standard-2.md)
