We’ve all heard of Stubbs the Zombie, one of the few videogames ever made from an Undead perspective. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were more? Well, there might be, if ‘Ray’s the Dead’ gets made. The ZRC became aware of ‘Ray’s the Dead’ from this reading this article, in which one of the creators [...]

We have rivals on the internet, fighting for the hearts and minds of the public vis a vis the Differently Animated. The ZRC expected this, and our traditional nemeses like the Zombie Research Society are well known and understood. But I have to admit to being blindsided by the idea of an Anti-Zombie Style blog. [...]

ZRC Correspondent and Pro-Zombie artist George Pfau brought us a hot tip about this bizarre (but given World War Z’s imminent release, likely to become less unusual) simulation of the Anti-Zombie end times being conducted in Nebraska, err, right now: Among the sturdy berms of Nebraska soil piled high at Heartland Public Shooting Park, those [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign knows how hard it can be to find a good social outing for a mixed Living/Undead crowd around Halloween. There tend to be a lot of… overly enthusiastic fans of the latest Anti-Zombie media around that time of year, and misunderstandings often result. It can be awkward. So we keep an [...]

Is eating bone a Zombie behavior now? Per se? When I think about bone-gnoshing, I think hyenas or some such. I’ve never seen Zombies stereotyped as like to eat bone itself. Usually bone-chewing only comes up in the context of crunching into a skull to get at the supposedly quite tasty brain (we don’t judge). [...]

The ZRC is always delighted to see Zombies and the Living brought together in a good cause, and so we were very pleased to hear about ‘Zombie Day’ this Saturday, April 20th in the Chicago area. I will now shamelessly post the details from their Facebook page to benefit those who have not joined the [...]

An unfortunate sign of the Living Supremacist prejudice in our society: scapegoating Zombies, even non-existent ones, for one’s own misdeeds: (CNN) — A young transient who said he was trying to shake zombies off a stolen semi-trailer truck he was driving caused a major freeway incident in southern California that sent four people to the [...]

At The Zombie Rights Campaign we try to be flexible with copyright; after all, we release all our content via Creative Commons licenses. The important thing for us is the Zombie Friendly message. So seeing a nexus between copyright law abuses and Living Supremacism is particularly disheartening: Over the years, as rumors of the potential [...]

We’ve talked here on the blog about the extensive changes to ‘World War Z’ that came from the process of adapting it to film. A CNN story I saw the other day on another topic, about Hollywood’s responses to the needs of the Chinese film market (particularly, state censorship issues) mentioned another alteration. Apparently, unlike [...]

I realize of course that Reddit is known for attracting, even reveling in negative attention, but nevertheless it must be noted that they’ve pulled a very cruel prank on the Zombie Community for April Fool’s, restyling their subreddit that is normally about Running (all very well and good) to be about Escaping Zombies (which is [...]
