The Zombie Rights Campaign has, along with America, watched a lot of Walking Dead. More however is on the way, and the plight of Rick, his questionably-led survivor band, and the many innocent Zombies they oppress, is about to be unleashed once more on our nation. Yes, there’s a trailer for the next season of [...]

It’s been a long road for the [REC] series. The first two movies were set in a creepy apartment building in Barcelona which was apparently the site of some very Anti-Zombie experimentation by certain parties (avoiding spoilers, but it’s not Umbrella). The third movie, which the ZRC saw on the big screen, shifted locations to [...]

The ZRC was recently pointed to this graphic and disturbing video purporting to show how to consume citrus fruit during the, ahem, ‘Zombie Apocalypse’. Warning: Graphic Anti-Zombie Violence is present. Watch with caution. How to respond to videos like this? Well, for starters, the ZRC fails to see why an orange cannot be shared with [...]

Zombies can be superheroes too. This much seems obvious to the ZRC as a matter of fairness, but also as a matter of, say, comic book history. Recently, Marvel Zombies turned that a bit on its head and tragically took the position that if a superhero becomes a Zombie they will (with few exceptions) also [...]

We hate to sound like a broken record here at the ZRC, and new science is always fun, but the Zombie Community does not benefit from labeling every scary behavior in the animal kingdom as ‘zombie’, or even zombie-like. Latest example in a long chain: The green-eyed wasp Dinocampus coccinellae turns ladybugs into zombie babysitters. [...]

B. Nektar is at it again! They really seem to like the Zombie themed beverages. In this case, ‘Necromangocon‘ is a honey wine/mead, with a bit of black pepper and mango added. The actual beverage is refreshing and unassuming. Perhaps a bit too unassuming; the pepper and mango don’t come across so strongly, and the [...]

We’ve been hearing from Zombie Allies about this story for a while now, but on the off-chance it’s new to you, dear readers: (CNN)It’s like a plot line ripped from the scripts of “The Walking Dead” — if the show’s cast were made up of cats and took place in Florida. A Tampa, Florida, cat [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign takes issue with ‘The Walking Dead’ tv series. It’s blatant fearmongering, served up with a side of gore and a big order of dysfunctional drama. Hmm. You can tell I am writing this before I have lunch. Ahem. At any rate, we’ve known that there will be a Walking Dead spinoff [...]

An interesting topic was recently brought to the Zombie Rights Campaign’s attention by our friends/occasional ideological sparring partners at BuyZombie.com: Why weren’t Zombies represented in the Harry Potter books? We’ve seen recent hubbub over religious representation in the books, but honestly, I had not given a lot of thought to Zombies at Hogwarts. Now, the [...]

Lately, the ZRC blog has been delving into the world of Zombie-themed alcohol reviews. We’ve covered several notable beers, but hadn’t gotten around to one of the more popular Zombified alcohols: ‘Zombie Killer’ from B. Nektar. First, a bit of fun learning! ‘Zombie Killer’ refers to itself as a Cyser. If you’re like me, you [...]
