Naturally, the ‘Zombies’ for these Anti-Zombie events are actors recruited from the Living Community, but there is still valuable behind the scenes detail to be gleaned from this post on The Mary Sue: It was time to head out onto the course. We had all been assigned Zone 5, which was fortunately outfitted with shade [...]

The Art Director for the ZRC, loyal readers, is a huge Sims fan. Really huge. Though she’s currently playing Sims 2 as each game lasts her years (and Sims 3 has a really nasty compatibility bug with 64 bit laptops, actually). The Sims has long had interactions with the Undead, and indeed, the Art Director [...]

Really I shouldn’t even be responding to this piece, since it’s not about Zombies at all except for a throwaway insult, but darn it, I felt insulted! While believing in fairy tale stories like mermaids and zombies can be fun, something even more exciting from stories that we love is becoming a reality. Robots. Really [...]

Apparently Capcom is still on the Quest for More Anti-Zombie Money, porting and slightly updating old ‘Resident Evil’ titles for newer consoles: CAPCOM unveiled “The Chronicle of a Biohazard,” a weekly look back at the history of the Resident Evil (Biohazard) game franchise before the June 28 release of the Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection [...]

We recently reported on a Zombie Rights march at Comic-Con, but sadly, there are some arguably less Zombie Friendly events occurring as well, even tied in with the March: FEARnet, the leading cable destination for horror, thriller and suspense content, will team with Capcom® and its upcoming Resident Evil® 6 video game and MPI’s Dark [...]

We’re delighted to hear about, and promote, a Zombie Rights march at Comic Con, to show the Robert Kirkmans and Max Brookses of the world what the Undead of the world really want: their civil rights. Are you ready to #ZOMBIFYSDCC?! We are! Zombies have been exploited in entertainment and media for too long! The [...]

Really? Really: Hyundai is looking toward the future. Unfortunately it’s a bleak future, where humanity is on the verge of extinction brought upon by the Zombie Apocalypse, but, hey, you’ve got to plan for everything, right? The automaker has teamed up with the creator of the “The Walking Dead” comic book series, Robert Kirkman, to [...]

Truly a bizarre story out of Illinois, especially considering that it’s home to the Zombie Friendly city of Chicago (where we recently marched for Zombie Rights, for instance): Still they are HILARIOUS that my home state of Illinois put ZOMBIES IN THEIR COMMERCIALS! So much of awesomeness here. The Illinois Department of Transportation really has [...]

I’m not exactly big into Tarot, though the art director used to play around with it. As far as card-games go, I always tended less toward quasi-mysticism and more toward Magic the Gathering (at least until it went full Living Supremacist of late). Still, this Anti-Zombie looking Tarot deck is unfortunate for all lovers of [...]

I like this trend of Zombie-themed restaurants for two reasons: 1) If restaurants start catering to the Zombie subculture, they may start marketing specifically toward Zombies/Zombie discretionary income and 2) It gives me an excuse to eat out for the ZRC. So I was pleased to see Laughing Squid’s piece on a Zombie themed, and [...]
