I trust you’re all aware of the proud list of nominees we selected for the shortlist for this, the ZRC’s award honoring the very best and noblest efforts by a Zombie to improve the public image of the Zombie Community and advance the cause of Zombie Rights. If not then I do humbly suggest you [...]

The Sci-Fi Channel, sorry, SyFy (like syphillis) Channel has gotten a reputation as a purveyor of b-movie direct to cable schlock in recent years, and it’s earned them a lot of fame and, let’s face it, some ratings gold too. Now they’re releasing what has to be the least imaginatively titled Anti-Zombie film of all [...]

Even for fans of this evil, Zombie-hating show, developments like this cannot be comfortable, to say the least: Last weekend, the cast of The Walking Dead took the stage at Dragon*Con and fielded questions from the audience — with one big restriction. Dragon*Con attendees were told eight times not to ask about former showrunner Frank [...]

I can understand how the general public might assume that the ZRC would be in favor of censorship of the violent and depraved Anti-Zombie media, but I can assure you that is not the case. We believe, here at the ZRC, in the marketplace of ideas, and that the best way to counter Anti-Zombie, even [...]

Another startlingly unsympathetic-to-Zombies interview with a major player in ‘The Walking Dead’ tv series is out now. A small and distasteful sample: Q: Have you created any signature zombies for Season 2 akin to Bicycle Girl? A: If I tell you about it, it gives the gag away! But I will say one of the [...]

So I guess there’s considerable trouble in Anti-Zombie paradise, also known as the production of ‘The Walking Dead’: The Good: Greg Nicotero Will Give Us Webisodes! … The Bad: Frank Darabont Has Left The Walking Dead … The Neutral: Glen Mazzara To Be The Walking Dead Showrunner Basically there seems to be a huge shakeup [...]

You know, I’ve seen movies where the Undead intersect with the martial arts before, and they’re usually terrible, not just for Zombie Rights, but just, you know, as films. So when I see a blurb about a film called ‘Ninja Zombies’ I start to groan a bit before I even click on the link: “Ninja [...]

The so-called ‘Zombie Research Society’, who seem to have never conducted any actual research on Zombies beyond skimming previous works of Anti-Zombie prejudice and extrapolating from hate fiction, had a panel at Comic-Con this year, and they shot video. Naturally we feel the need to respond to their allegations and slanders. Here’s the first part [...]

It’s a busy week at the ZRC Compound, with poster work, pamphlet writing, print jobs and more, but we’re trying to stay on top of it. I did have time to check out the latest episode of previously reviewed as Zombie Friendly web series, ‘Mind My Brains, Darling!’ however. This latest chapter deals primarily with [...]

Just putting this one up on the big Zombie Walk board, so to speak: add Duluth to the list of cities that hosts an outing for the Differently Animated, sympathizers and just hangers-on: If you saw a bloody-mouthed, limping zombie Thursday wailing about brains and dragging entrails along Superior Street, don’t worry: It wasn’t the [...]
