Lately we’ve been seeing a lot of the modern re-imaginings of the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ image from World War II. Here in Madison it was very readily taken up by the protesters and used on all sorts of things, for example. Ironically enough, despite its relatively recent and immense popularity, it never served [...]

Even the jerks and miscreants over at the ZRS can bring some positive Zombie-related media to light from time to time, and here’s an example: Digital artist Aaron Fulcher creates rocked out designs for the tattoo set. We spotting this Johnny Cash inspired piece and just had to post it for your viewing pleasure. Yes, [...]

Even though they love to tease the Zombie Rights Movement it’s invaluable to keep tabs on the work of the folks over at BuyZombie so they can in turn keep us up to date on things like this: Review: Dead Genesis In a sweaty panic, a man frantically grabs a gun from the closet and [...]

We like ‘Thriller’ here at the ZRC, and you occasionally see it pop up as a rare early positive example of the Undead in mainstream American media. To this day it still receives attention and acclaim (including ours). Unfortunately, not all of that attention is good for Zombies: A group of locals are hoping to [...]

We’ve given the Zombie Rights ally lots of updates on the unfortunate production of the, ahem, adaptation of Max Brooks’ infamous hate novel ‘World War Z’ into a big Hollywood blockbuster here on the ZRC blog. However, what would you say if I told you that all that money, and all that Anti-Zombie violence on [...]

The ZRC was thrilled about ‘Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story’ and concerned about ‘ReAnimator’ as a musical, so it’s clear that stage musicals with the Differently Animated have a mixed (but promising!) track record. Still, this new one doesn’t sound good for The Cause: Song of the Living Dead, which opens Friday at the Black [...]

Just a quick update to note yet another peaceful and apparently successful Zombie Walk, this time in Salt Lake City. Although the media of course fails in this case to give the Walk the serious attention it deserves… sigh. We’re working on better media, folks. In the meantime, keep up the Walks! They really help [...]

Well, it seems that Robert Kirkman’s shadowy web of evil continues to expand: Robert Kirkman’s first in a three book series with Thomas Dunne Books, an imprint of St. Martin’s Press will hit shelves nationwide October 11th and is now available for pre-sale on Amazon.com. The book, which Kirkman co-authored with horror genre vet Jay [...]

This story is more than a tad bizarre, showing that, yes, they really will splash Zombies into just about anything these days: Holy freakin’ crap, just look at those zombie balls. You can thank the Jung van Matt/Elbe ad agency for this awesomeness. The bowling balls were designed to promote Germany’s 13th Street horror TV [...]

Really? The Differently Animated community doesn’t have enough trouble without two jokers from Bloody-Disgusting.com hosting a little online cage match to determine the best stereotype of Zombies? Welcome one and all to a brand new series here on Dead Pixels, home of all things geeky and videogame-y. TJ and I have been slaving over our [...]
