All right, all right; you’ve got us, Chicago Fear Fest. Even though you’re arriving right on the heels of our Ohio-excursion to Horrorhound in Columbus, The Zombie Rights Campaign can’t turn down this opportunity. First, you tempted us with a Chicago-premiere of sure-to-be-huge Anti-Zombie film [REC 3] and ‘Cadaver Christmas’, then you sweeten the deal [...]

We’ve mentioned ‘Juan of the Dead’ a bit here on the ZRC blog, as it’s been getting regular attention in the press for being a fairly unusual film. Hailing from the more-typically arty and somewhat isolated Cuban film scene, ‘Juan of the Dead’ is instead an attempt to land some of that (tragically) lucrative Anti-Zombie [...]

We’ve been working behind the scenes here at the ZRC to get ready for Horrorhound, and that brings us to the subject of today’s post: literature. Did you know that the ZRC’s resources page has helpful (and lovingly illustrated) informational pamphlets on a variety of topics? It’s true, we do. And all of said pamphlets [...]

It’s well-known that we don’t get along with the ‘Zombie Research Society’ here at The Zombie Rights Campaign; their ‘research’ is geared toward hurting the Undead, and they certainly don’t want Zombies to have rights. Which, to be clear, is a bigoted and offensive position to take. Meanies. This poster they’ve commissioned for their Undead-bashing [...]

Well, while we’re not exactly surprised that an institution of higher learning has decided to officially Anti-Zombie prejudice in the curriculum, The Zombie Rights Campaign is nevertheless saddened by this news: EAST LANSING, Mich. – Forget Advanced Political Theory or even Introduction to Chemistry. The one class that everyone is dying to take this summer [...]

You get this subset of Anti-Zombie fiction a lot, actually: the notion that the Nazis would, naturally, want to create Zombies for nefarious purposes. It has a long history, going back at least to ‘King of the Zombies’ in 1941, a dreary Scooby-Doo grade story about the good White Americans crashing on a Caribbean island, [...]

The ZRC is not, as an institution, exactly a fan of ‘Night of the Living Dead’, but it’s hard to miss the film’s importance to both the Undead Rights movement and cinematic history. So we recognize the importance of preserving both the film and the institutions and locations that enabled it to be produced (even [...]

Remember ‘Stag Night of the Dead’? The UK Zombie-Slaughtering-’Comedy’ where a bachelor party goes to a Zombie killing sort of theme park and somehow sets off the Zompocalypse? Well, it’s out on iTunes in America now. The DVD release is apparently May 1st, and in the meantime BuyZombie helpfully provided the world with this trailer [...]

We talked about the Wisconsin Voter ID law a long while ago now, in blog-time, and how the ZRC opposed it as a measure seemingly designed to put up roadblocks to prevent Zombies from voting (along with the poor, urban, and student populations who traditionally lean Democratic). Well, that law is now on hiatus: A [...]

Ok, I have to admit, if you must watch ‘The Walking Dead’ season finale (we don’t recommend it) this would be the way to go: THE WALKING DEAD season finale On the big screen admission – FREE!
