Online, August 31, 2012 (Newswire.com) - UK based online retailer FancyDressShack.co.uk today announced an increase in the sales of zombie costumes as they become more popular with the approaching release of Resident Evil Retribution.

The Resident Evil movies are based on the series of videogames, first released in 1996.

The Umbrella Corporation are the creators of the T-Virus which mutates people into zombies, and has spread from a small scale outbreak to a global threat.

The latest film, Resident Evil Retribution will be released very soon and has many fans excited and eager to get into the zombie theme. Kelly Woods, Customer Service Manager of FancyDressShack.co.uk added, "We've recently seen more sales of our zombie costumes than ever before. We expect an increase as Halloween approaches, but when we asked customers why they were buying the zombie costumes, they told us it was because they wanted to turn up for the new Resident Evil film dressed as zombies."

Resident Evil has become a large franchise since the release of the original videogame so many years ago. This year will also see the release of the sixth Resident Evil game, which has further boosted the popularity of the movie that will soon be released in cinemas around the world.

The new film, Resident Evil Retribution, follows on from the previous movie, Resident Evil Afterlife, and is set to hold a revelation so large that it will force the main character, Alice, to rethink everything she has come to know. Many fans have become incredibly excited about this latest film which is the reason so many will be seeing it dressed as zombies.
