2013: Working Toward A Very Zombie New Year

| December 31, 2012

We have a lot to look forward to in the next year, and a lot to work toward, of course. ‘World War Z’ will rear its ugly, Living Supremacist head. Capcom will produce half a dozen games about hating Zombies. ‘The Walking Dead’ will continue to make more money than Robert Kirkman could ever spend [...]

The 21st is Neither the ‘Mayan Apocalypse’ Nor the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’

| December 19, 2012

Folks, there’s a lot of loose talk out there about some ‘Apocalypse’ or other coming up on the 21st, and the ZRC is here to tell you: Zombies will not be involved. Seriously. Of course, you don’t have to take our word for it. Actual Mayans have something to say about this silly calendar doomsday [...]

NaNoWriMo 2012: Oops

| December 3, 2012

So, posts on the site have been a bit light lately. Ok, extremely light. There are two reasons: one is that pursuing the degree to become the world’s first Zombie Rights Lawyer takes a rather shockingly huge amount of time/effort/soul-crushing despair. The second is that, taunted by longtime ZRC collaborator/Lord of the Pit Michelle Hartz, [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign and Nightmare on Chicago Street 2012

| October 31, 2012

I apologize for the lateness of this update, Zombie Rights allies; a late arrival back in Madison, law school demands and even an internet outage delayed its writing and posting. Last Saturday we took our Zombie Rights advocacy on the road to Nightmare on Chicago Street, the second annual Elgin Halloween celebration (which we support) [...]

ZRC Rapid Response: Joss Whedon’s ‘Zomney’ Video

| October 29, 2012

The Zombie Rights Campaign has addressed the issue of Anti-Zombie bias in Joss Whedon’s work before, but I have to admit I didn’t think Mr. Whedon would air his Living Supremacist dirty laundry again in such a high-profile fashion, especially in a naked attempt to influence a major election. But he has. So let’s talk [...]

Join the ZRC as We ‘ZOMcupy’ Chicago Street!

| October 26, 2012

Last year The Zombie Rights Campaign was privileged to bring a Zombie Friendly perspective to the intimidatingly-awesome (yet Living Supremacist) event ‘Nightmare on Chicago Street’ in Elgin, IL. We wrote about that experience here, here, and here. ‘Nightmare on Chicago Street’, to refresh memories, is no ordinary Halloween party. No sir. It’s more like an [...]

Back from The Dark Carnival 2012

| October 22, 2012

The Zombie Rights Campaign is back from The Dark Carnival and we survived the madness! Freaks, fire, movies, some of which were quite offensive. Lots of reviews and such coming soon, and I’ve been uploading HD videos to youtube today so we’ll have a full post for the blog, tomorrow hopefully. Then this Saturday: Nightmare [...]

Another Scandal Involving Baron Mardi, former Zombie of the Year?

| October 13, 2012

In what I can only presume is an attempt to prepare Bloomington visitors and Dark Carnival attendees for their stay the Atomic Age Cinema crew have been posting ‘Getting to Know’ videos about each of the AAC members. Forewarned is forearmed, as they say. However the ZRC was alarmed by the video for our former [...]

Upcoming ZRC Events

| October 10, 2012

This post is just a reminder that the ZRC is looking forward to seeing you, the Zombie Friendly public, at TWO upcoming events in the month of October! First is The Dark Carnival Film Festival from October 19th-21st in Bloomington, Indiana. We’ve been to every Dark Carnival film festival and it’s proven to be an [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign at Horrorhound

| September 10, 2012

That was a brisk weekend of outreach for the ZRC! Special thanks to ZRC pal Michelle Hartz, author of ‘Brains for the Zombie Soul‘, for capably operating our booth on Friday while I was otherwise detained learning about contracts and such. Zombies need contracts too, right? Horrorhound was of course inundated with Zombie-related media, and [...]
