Zombies are heading back to the mall and this time they are being more than welcomed at Sears.  Pulling out all the stops for Halloween, Sears has done an impressive holiday site re-design to cater to their living dead customers.

From fashion that will you "Revive Your Style" to jewelry that will help you "Accessorize Like The Living" to Kenmore washing machines that will make those "Brain Stains Be Gone", Sears is going all out to make sure the undead gets their insatiable needs met.
