I really don’t know what to make of truly awful, mercenary and opportunistic ‘journalism’ like this sometimes: Rioting, looting, muggings, cars and buildings on fire – London has witnesses apocalyptic scenes on its streets over the past three days. Scenes which many said looked like those from a film depicting the end-of-the-world. … The star [...]

I guess I should block off some time to really protest this one but good: Paramount Pictures announced that the zombie epic, World Word Z, will be released on December 21, 2012. Ahh, the ZRS shows their usual, err, flair for accuracy with this post, but we thank them for the news nonetheless. *snicker* Yes [...]

At conventions we talk to a lot of Zombie fans, as well as, frankly, fans of Anti-Zombie media (who just need some counseling I think to reform completely) and we always get lots of suggestions. ‘Fido’ usually comes up. ‘Colin’ has been mentioned a lot lately too. For a while there we heard quite a [...]

I actually signed up for this game and started playing it some time ago, but in a creepy way befitting its role as a ‘social game’/timesuck, kept delaying the actual review until I had seen just a bit more of the content, then a bit more, etc… So what is ‘Zombie Lane’? Well, it’s like [...]

Anti-Zombie… Bigots.. in.. Spaaaaaaaaaaaace! More or less: Manned space exploration might be more dead then you thought. “Call of Duty: Black Ops” is getting a zombie-only update named “Rezurrection.” The undead expansion will include a new moon level, enhanced soundtrack, new zombie moon theme and four re-mastered zombie levels from the Call of Duty franchise. [...]

Given the prevalence, not to mention high sales, of Anti-Zombie games lately I suppose it should not have been a surprise that the Kinect, Microsoft’s hot new(ish) peripheral for the Xbox 360 might look to an Anti-Zombie game for some sales: Color me excited. A 360 exclusive where you can use the Kinect as your [...]

I guess, no joke, that the gaming industry won’t be content until every genre of game has had Anti-Zombiism splashed in to increase sales: Zombie Bowl-o-Rama is a casual, arcade game on the WildTangent games service. In Zombie Bowl-o-Rama, you’ll strike away the attacking zombies on the bowling lanes. Play Zombie Bowl-o-Rama on the WildTangent [...]

We’ve reported before on ‘Zombie Bohemia’ here on the ZRC blog; it seems to be a movie with both the promise of actual thinking, feeling Zombie characters and, tragically, some Anti-Zombie stereotyping as well. At any rate, the film continues to progress, and there has been a mass release of additional behind-the-scenes material: Director Vince [...]

Really, people, just stop it: Let’s not turn our kids into fear-filled zombies! By Scott Sager for The Brooklyn Paper Did you hear the one about the boys attacked by a big, brown bear in Alaska? No joke, true story. Just a couple of weeks ago, a group of boys on a wilderness learning trip [...]

We try to be optimistic about new forms of Zombie Media here at the ZRC after the stellar experience that was ‘Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story’, but I don’t think we’ll be able to get behind this new rock opera about the Zombie Apocalypse: Actor Samn Wright, like a number of other stage performers in [...]
