In this sad story from The Rude Pundit, we see that Anti-Zombie prejudice is creeping into all aspects of our society and all manner of expression. (Picture courtesy of The Rude Pundit, who will come around to our Zombie appreciating stance someday I’m sure.) Increasingly, Americans see *everything* as relating to the ever-present, never-actualized ‘Zombie [...]

It’s heartwarming to see Zombie Walks raising money and awareness for good causes while promoting a healthy and inclusive vision of Living-Zombie relations, so we’re happy to bring news of the Marshalltown, Iowa Zombie Walk (please ignore the media outlet’s reflexive Anti-Zombie slant): It’s that time of year when frightful creatures slither along downtown streets. [...]

We first saw ‘George’s Intervention’ some years back at The Dark Carnival, and thought it was a funny and empathetic movie about Zombies and the occasional struggle for some of the Differently Animated with cravings for, even a need to consume, human flesh. Sadly, it hasn’t been available to the general public for easy viewing [...]

I’ll give them credit for original marketing at the very least: Free contest for horror fans! Enter to win an appearance in the zombie world of The Return Man — an action-packed undead thriller coming in March 2012 from publisher Hodder & Stoughton. One winner’s name will be immortalized as a character in the actual [...]

Another band that hates and fears the Differently Animated! Ugh why is the music community so prejudiced? Canadian hard punk rockers Kill Matilda are back with a vengeance, but this time it’s not just Matilda they’re after. Releasing their debut full-length, I Want Revenge, on October 11 and hitting the road on their Zombie Apocalypse [...]

We talked previously about this event, and the sadly segregationist nature of the outing (and the theme park hosting it) before, here on the ZRC blog: Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is opening its gates to the undead for ONE NIGHT ONLY! ** But make it a day – gates open at 10am for humans, [...]

Another good news/bad news situation for Zombie Rights activism as we are presented with another seemingly fun public event about Zombies that is unfortunately being organized by people who are not Zombie Friendly, to say the least: Winnipeg’s zombie community is preparing for its annual reminder that the undead are, in fact, not dead. … [...]

‘The Walking Dead’ is doing a bang-up job of making people afraid of Zombies. Somewhere along the way, they seem to have decided that was not sufficient, and that they should terrify people about other harmless and natural elements of society. It seems for Season 2 they’ve settled on farms: David Boyd, The Walking Dead’s [...]

Well, as if we hadn’t already sussed out the band Anthrax’s vicious Anti-Zombie prejudice, there’s this news item to prove it: Metal band Anthrax is set to release their new album ‘Worship Music’ on September 13th. The first single from the record is called ‘Fight em Till You Can’t’ and was written about battling a [...]

You know, I’ve watched more Zombie-bashing webisodes than I care to THINK about but we still miss some here at the ZRC, and so I haven’t seen any of this ‘Dead Wait’ show yet. Apparently it was popular enough amongst the bloodthirsty internet crowds to get a second season, and the trailer delivers on violence [...]
