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 [...]

I know we’ve been skeptical about the upcoming ‘World War Z’ film, but this article makes it sound like the real Apocalypse has been behind the cameras: It now seems that everything was upside-down on “World War Z.” “A nightmare from top to bottom,” describes one source with ties to the production, which appears to [...]

Having seen some wonderful Zombie material on the stage here in Madison with ‘Z-Town: The Zombie Musical‘ I was interested to hear that Montreal is experiencing something of a Zombie theatre renaissance.. though it doesn’t sound very Zombie Friendly up there: And then perhaps it is all a sign of the apocalypse. This year’s Fringe [...]

We backed the first season of Fallout: Nuka Break and were rewarded with a Zombie Friendly good time (at some point the ZRC is going to do an in-depth analysis – it’s that good). Well, the second season of Nuka Break is wrapping up a Kickstarter and you should totally consider chipping in. It’s already [...]

Well, our brief agreement with the Zombie Research Society has to come to a crashing end with their endorsement, once again, of a siege mentality when it comes to dealing with the inevitable emergence of the Undead as a large-scale demographic phenomenon. A literal siege mentality, actually: Now, after a slew of gory news reports [...]

A disturbing development from one of the web’s largest retailers, and from Cliver Barker as well, a man who I thought treated the Undead with more nuance than this: Clive Barker will rewrite the action-horror film “Zombies vs. Gladiators” for Amazon Studios. Set in ancient Rome, the film follows the aftermath of a shaman’s spell [...]

Not a lot to say about it now, though I suspect we’ll pick up a copy to review soon. Though it sounds.. err.. original: With questions about its true satire unanswered, Lollipop Chainsaw still has the makings of a perfectly enjoyable action game. Juliet isn’t limited to chainsawing enemies apart with perky abandon; she’s also [...]

Remember last year when, with much fanfare, the CDC decided to try and scare America with Zombies, in the name of disaster preparedness? We sure do. We also remember when they had to start walking back their scare campaign in the face of.. people believing them, essentially. Well, now it’s come full circle, and the [...]

We don’t get along well with the Anti-Zombie ‘researchers’ at the Zombie Research Society. As you might imagine. Still, The Zombie Rights Campaign is behind them 100% on this one: Check out this laughable attempt to update Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” dance in an Indian movie called Donga. The clip and film aren’t knew, but it’s [...]

We loved Zombie Friendly short film ‘Zombie Bohemia’ here at the ZRC, and now we can all show our support of Zombie Artists by wearing some Zombie Bohemia shirts! One of the designs is even on sale now, for the thrifty Zombie Rights ally out there. Hint hint.
