This is one of those products that is sort of ambiguous in its Zombie Friendliness: Description Looks like a warning sign-Zombie Zone! Plastic corrugate, in polybag with header. 17in high x 22in wide. Is this a sign warning people about Zombies, as in, ‘Stay away from these awful Undead creatures’, or warning them to be [...]

I’d been hearing for some time that the newest expansion in perennial favorite collectible card game ‘Magic: The Gathering’ was going to be substantially Zombie-themed, and I had some hope that it might, MIGHT represent some long-sought improvements to the depiction of the Differently Animated in gaming media. Whether ‘Innistrad’, the aforementioned expansion, actually does [...]

Oh yes, this sounds classy: Set in the aftermath of a zombie outbreak, the film follows a group of likely lads as they head off to a run down military base with a PVC clad stripper for the ultimate stag party experience. Forget paintball, at Zomball you get to shoot zombies with stun guns. It’s [...]

Zombies and celebrities will be greeted with flash bulbs and verbal [...]

This article is all well and good but doesn’t really give us the details we need to determine definitively if this new Zombie novel is friendly to the Differently Animated (though it hints that no, it isn’t): Happy Place is a “brainless” read, according to Al Leduc. The author said he would be hard-pressed to [...]

I was all prepared to rip into this new trailer for ‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ for the usual litany of (perfectly valid) complaints about the rampant Living Supremacism of the RE Series, but I have to admit in all honesty I was distracted by something else: truly rampant to the point-of-anachronism, classic b-movie sexism.

We’ve covered the promotion of the odious and seemingly-Living Supremacist game ‘Dead Island’ extensively here on the ZRC blog, but perhaps I should mention something about its recent high profile release, and why I have no intention of buying it for review anytime soon: They released an incomplete and unfinished game, one that is ludicrously [...]

San Fernando Valley porn purveyors Pink Visual may be the only adult film company equipped to release such a title, as [...]
