Update: I kind of forgot to post this one, but I believe the subject matter, ie, the horrible new RE movie in the works, is still relevant to The Cause. I hadn’t actually expected the hospitalizations from the new ‘Resident Evil’ movie to crop up until audiences were subjected to it and turned to gouging [...]

It’s not many movies that inspire labors of grisly love like this so many decades after their release: George A. Romero’s 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead is the kind of movie that continues to lay the chills on hot and heavy decades after its release. The good thing for us? The merch surrounding [...]

This could have been a positive, image-changing project but I gather that it indulges in a lot of negative stereotyping about Zombies instead: The 2012 Zombie Pinup Calendar has arrived! Gorgeous & Gory exhibits a variety of uniquely seductive images. The styling of each photo is unlike any other, and at the center of each [...]

We do some work here at the ZRC fundraising for breast cancer research via The Lurch for the Cure, as our loyal readers are no doubt aware, so seeing others also bring the Living and Undead together in the same cause is very nice: Be they zombies or ROTC members, nothing rallies the dead and [...]

We had a long journey but we’re settled into the hotel and ready for a full weekend of film viewing and agitation. We also got to attend the opening party last night here in Bloomington. Some highlights: Doc Calamari has found a new and even more hideous outfit to parade around in. He describes it [...]

A fascinating Q&A with Patricia Tallman of the Savini ‘Night of the Living Dead’ is up at BuyZombie. Needless to say we read this with great interest here at the ZRC and suggest you do the same. A highlight: 6). As this is a zombie site, tell me about your experiences on “Night Of The [...]

I’m very happy to hear about all the great Zombie events in the Detroit area this month, some for charity, and very disappointed in the press coverage: Is a zombie apocalypse coming? Metro Detroiters might wonder as much over the coming weeks. Not only is today designated as World Zombie Day, but on Sunday, zombies [...]

Really, when you’re using profanity just for attention in the title I don’t hold out much hope for a reasoned examination of the plight of the Differently Animated: Note: the special effects will apparently be added later via CG. So, what’s this about? Besides defaming the Undead? You’ll never guess: A band of survivors unite [...]

Why is it that so many of the latest Zombie-themed games for phones are coming out for the iPhone now that the ZRC went with Androids, anyway? Glu Mobile is on a mission to prove that Free-to-Play iOS games can provide the same rich experience as paid apps. Their latest title, Contract Killer: Zombies, might [...]

There seems to be a regular epidemic of Anti-Zombie games on Apple devices of late! Case in point, the new title ‘Zombie Life’ (from the makers of apparently-smash-hit ‘Zombie Farm’): The Playforge clearly aren’t keen to sit back, though, and have released a new zombie social gaming title: Zombie Life. This time round, players take [...]
