Whether they’re used to entertain guests at a Halloween party, scare the wits out of trick-or-treaters, or make a frightening statement in your next card game, these Bicycle zombie playing cards are sure to bring a little something extra to any gathering. With their grotesque illustrations and eerie back designs, they take the art of playing cards to the next level, capturing a cultural fascination with horror and the undead.
The deck is poker-size with a standard index, and the face cards—replaced by zombified versions of their usual counterparts—feature survival tips on what to do in case of a zombie attack (for example, ‘eat ’em all!’). Printed in the USA at the United States Playing Card Company on premium stock with a high-quality finish.
While some magicians and playing card purists prefer the more discreet and professional design of Rider Back Bicycle cards, these Zombie playing cards offer an incredible amount of creative freedom that makes them a must-have for all types of enthusiasts. The unique theme adds a whole new dimension to card tricks, and the deck’s quality allows for easy flourishes and cuts.
The ghastly illustrations are more than just aesthetics, and each card tells the story of a world overrun by the living dead. The kings, queens, and jacks are transformed into horrific visages of decay and destruction, while the pips—hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades—are illustrated with scenes that illustrate different aspects of the apocalyptic narrative. This meticulous attention to detail makes the cards more than just a regular deck of cards, and they stand as a testament to the power of thematic design in transforming everyday objects into portals into other worlds.
