While Zombie Law School and NaNoWrimo have been keeping us busy on non-ZRC matters around here, BuyZombie has taken up the slack nicely. They have two reviews of new Zombie novels out lately, both of which are apparently novel takes on the ‘Zombie apocalypse’ from a Zombie’s perspective. Tragically, one is apparently far better than [...]

We’ve talked about ‘Warm Bodies’ before on the blog, and the recent release of a new trailer has people talking. From a Zombie Rights perspective? Not so sure about this one. Don’t get me wrong; there’s a lot to like here, the potential sympathy and open-mindedness this film could bring to Zombies, and of course, [...]

Our friends over at Into the Dark have alerted the ZRC to the first trailer for the upcoming (and highly troubled) major Living Supremacist film ‘World War Z’, based somewhat loosely on the book of the same name by Max Brooks. Having seen it, I have to say my earlier suspicions that the novel had [...]

The ZRC was alerted recently to a Living Supremacist movie with a twist – it was filmed at CERN, home of the famous Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest particle collider and general super-science Ground Zero. This doesn’t sound good for Zombies or science. Not at all: If you ever thought CERN would be a [...]

Years ago now, the ZRC purchased a couple bottles of Zombie Zin from an odd little store here in Madison. We were a bit puzzled as to what to do with them, as the ZRC founders had no expertise in wine, focusing primarily on Undead Rights and not the fine art of fermented grapes. However [...]

I’ll readily admit, I’m not much of an outdoors person. I don’t know, for example, the proper way to use a signal mirror. I imagine that many of our Undead clients, previously being from all walks of Life, are the same way. And yet rather than market toward the Undead camping demographic, major retailer REI [...]

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) [...]

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 [...]

There’s a trailer out for the ‘Evil Dead’ remake and I have to say, it’s not looking good for the Differently Animated: Eww. All that graphic violence and scary music! And must we always throw around the word ‘Evil’ for Undead fellows who just happen to have been summoned via necromancy or demon magic? Why [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign has sadly attended its last Dark Carnival Film Festival in Bloomington, Indiana, this year, as the 2012 edition was the last that will be hosted in that fair city. We’ve been going to these things for a long time, even before the Zombie Rights Campaign started its bold mission to protect [...]
