It’s true, apparently Alaska isn’t just the place to set movies based on atrociously murky and confused comics based on vampires* anymore: Shot entirely in Alaska, FROST BITE focuses on a small band of survivors after a zombie outbreak has overrun the world. They hole up in an abandoned grocery store that they dub Frost [...]

A controversial Supreme Court ruling was handed down today declaring that a California law restricting the sale of violent videogames to minor was unconstitutional. WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday struck down on First Amendment grounds a California law that barred the sale of violent video games to children. The 7-to-2 decision was the [...]

It’s just deplorable how low some cities will sink to try and get a piece of the lucrative Anti-Zombie pie: Atlanta residents may have a reason to use the CDC’s Zombie Preparedness Kit as scores of zombies descended on the Cumberland area today. The zombies were part of the 160-person film crew that was filming [...]

I’ve seen quite a bit of Young Adult oriented Zombie fiction crop up over the last couple of years; mostly bad stuff, from a Zombie Rights perspective, about some heroic teen triumphing over the adversities of having to share a planet with Zombies. You know, bigoted stuff. Still, sometimes a bit of understanding can come [...]

Think I’m editorializing too much? Perhaps, but it’s hard to keep my temper when I read a man so steeped in Anti-Zombiism touting his achievements in defaming the Differently Animated: Q: What are you expecting from the first few weeks? A: It’s a funny question: I really don’t know exactly what they’re going to be [...]

You probably read about the Leicester Freedom of Information request that led the UK city to admit that, no, it didn’t have any particular plans to persecute the Differently Animated in the event of a ‘zombie invasion.’ Supposedly left-leaning newsrag ‘The Guardian’ thinks that was a great excuse to publish an opinion column advising how [...]

It’s just outstanding how many great Zombie-related charity events we’re seeing lately. Case in point: Do you like zombies? Do you like to dress up? Do you like to dance? Do you like to help fight Juvenile Diabetes? Do you live in Utah or will be in the area around September 9th 2011? If you [...]

Really, I wonder what’s up with Europe. They seem to be going more than a little deranged with their Zombie-bashing of late, which we’ve talked about here on the ZRC recently (as well as their oppression of even those who resemble Zombies a bit too much): The Netherlands France Sweden Germany What do all these [...]

Ok, Europe, can we have a quiet word please? …. All right, I think we’re alone. Look; what is wrong with you people precisely? At first it seemed like a fluke here and there, a movie like ’28 Days Later’ would come out, or ‘Shaun of the Dead’, that sort of thing. We were inclined [...]

White-Collar Zombies just can’t catch a break these days. First we had W.O.R.M., later incorporated into ‘III Slices of Life’, which was an unfortunately ground-breaking piece of cinema dealing, harshly and unjustly, with the topic of Zombie integration into a white-collar workforce. Previous Anti-Zombie films had largely dealt with ‘Zombies’ attacking prominent symbols of working [...]
