Okay, I tried to Trademark the name, but it turns out that's pretty expensive. But after that, I sent Hasbro an email to try to gauge their interest in creating a special edition, zombie Monopoly game. Below is my email. I'll post their response if I get one:
It's an idea so simple, it should have been thought of at least 2 years ago. Zombopoly. With at least several dozen versions of Monopoly out right now, why shouldn't there be one of our favorite horror sub-genre?
They're popular across the entire media spectrum. Novels, comic books, television, movies--and they're a constant every Halloween. They want to eat our brains and we love them for it. I don't know if Hasbro has a R&D department, but it doesn't take a statistician to see zombies are popular. I've started a Facebook page a few minutes ago and you can monitor it here to watch it grow in popularity. Or if you aren't comfortable clicking on a link, just go to Facebook and type in 'Zombopoly'.
I hope you can forward this message along to the appropriate parties and I would greatly appreciate a response at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Gerald Dean Rice, BA
