| September 8, 2012

Come on by our booth in the vendor hall at Horrorhound and say hi! We have Zombie Friendly wares and literature and are very open to dialogue. It’s what we do.

In Political Season, AMC and Walking Dead Stage Fake Presidential Campaign

| September 3, 2012

Even on our short break the ZRC couldn’t help but notice the increasingly creative desperation AMC has to get ‘The Walking Dead’ back before millions of American satellite TV customers after a dispute with Dish Network. I mean, running a fake presidential campaign? That’s both ambitious and bizarre: A. Zombie, billed as the nation’s first [...]

The ZRC Gets Interviewed!

| August 29, 2012

Well, ok, I did, on behalf or the ZRC. Hard to interview an organization per se. You can see a series of fascinating questions and my attempts at fascinating answers here. I hope this helps fill the void of Zombie Friendliness a bit until Horrorhound and the resumption of full ZRC activities.

Announcing ‘The Thing Rights Campaign’

| August 9, 2012

We’re not ones to shy away from the big issues here at The Zombie Rights Campaign. Mummies? We back them. Deadites? We’re there for them. The upcoming Flashback Weekend, starting tomorrow in Chicago, presented us with a unique opportunity and quandry, however. There’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime sort of event, a 30th Anniversary Screening [...]

So Now Stick Figures are Supposedly Targets?

| August 2, 2012

We’ve come down with the cold to end all colds here at the ZRC Compound so it might be affecting my cognitive reasoning. I grant that. Still, I can’t see the point of this at ALL: Better Run, Better Run! These Zombies are hungry and their ready to eat that stick family on the back [...]

Zombies Counterprotest Westboro Baptist Church

| July 30, 2012

You know, Zombies catch an awful lot of flack from the usual suspects in the press: stereotypes about brain-devouring, Living-slaughtering and a (supposed) lack of intelligence and humanity. But, I’ll have you point out, they don’t go around picketing funerals, like the, ahem, people from the Westboro Baptist Church. Who’ve become justifiably infamous as, well, [...]

Sad Times for English Zombies (And Everyone Else)

| July 28, 2012

The ZRC blog reported extensively on the arrest/persecution of UK Zombie Activists (or just those dressed as Zombies, minding their own business). In fact, our most recent Zombie of the Year was one of said unjustly detained activists, Hannah Eiseman-Renyard, who bravely fought against said injustices in court. Tragically, and in our opinion inexplicably, the [...]

‘Nightmare on Chicago Street’ 2012 Date Announced! And We’ll Be There!

| July 11, 2012

And that date is: October 27th. We’ll definitely be back in Elgin this year to help spread the word about Zombie Friendliness and the Global Reanimation Block Party! Last year was after all a huge success. Even if there were a lot of tragic stereotypes to fight. Hey, any event where you get to pull [...]

Confirmed: The Zombie Rights Campaign Will Attend ‘Flashback Weekend’ 2012

| June 21, 2012

We posted our tentative public schedule a bit earlier this summer, but it’s good to confirm things as they shape up (or not) so the ZRC is happy to announce it will be attending Flashback Weekend this year in Chicago (August 10th-12th). However, we’re only attending this show, not vending, so there won’t be any [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign at the Zombie March Chicago (2012)

| June 17, 2012

We, your humble staffers from The Zombie Rights Campaign, embarked on a bold adventure yesterday into the very heart of Chicago to witness a stirring outing and show of solidarity amongst the Chicago-area Undead community and their allies. You know, by going to the Chicago Zombie March. It was a great event, and I have [...]
