Ah, the noble and humble Freedom of Information request; how much government inaction, sloth, corruption and malfeasance has it uncovered? Far too much to estimate I’d say. Still, opening the books of government to every Tom, Dick and Harry also occasionally means opening them to whackos who’ve read too much Max Brooks and seen too [...]

It’s hardly revolutionary to note that the American conception of the ‘Old West’ is an extremely romanticized picture of a very dark, bloody period of history, and one that most Americans have yet to come to terms with. The fact that there’s even a *debate* over whether to acknowledge the genocide(s) of the various indigenous [...]

What may well be the post-Romero magnum opus of Zombie Hate on Screen, ‘World War Z’, continues to chug ahead with various bits of casting and backstage news trickling out. Here’s a double dose of downer for you: According to Variety The Grey’s James Badge Dale (pictured right) is going back into battle, albeit against [...]

I know there’s a considerable audience for professional wrestling and its less-stage managed counterparts in the world of mixed martial arts and boxing, and on the whole, although I’m not particularly a fan of any of it, the ZRC doesn’t have an issue with consenting adults beating on each other to entertain their audience. However, [...]

I consider myself pretty well qualified to review almost any Zombie-related product that comes across my desk-like-arrangement of tables, but a Zombie wine? That one puzzled me for a bit. As you can no doubt imagine, living in Wisconsin I’ve grown to appreciate beer as the first and foremost alcohol in my life. Before moving [...]

I wanted to share with you this amazing photojournalism series about a Zombie Walk in Moscow, cruelly dispersed by an authoritarian crackdown against the Differently Animated: This year’s Zombie Parade held for the 5th consecutive year, and it was noted by riot police arrests of participants. On Saturday at the Old Arbat, despite the rain, [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign went to Chicago yesterday, well, the greater Chicago area (Schaumburg) for a DVD signing and release event by the ’3 Slices of Life’ cast. But first we had to prepare our inducements for Zombie Friendly behavior in the future; delicious, homemade chocolate chip cookies. (I was tempted to just make one [...]

The ZRC was, and remains, very happy about the news that Academy Award-Winning actor Jeff Bridges has signed on to play a Zombie police officer in the upcoming movie ‘R.I.P.D.’ In fact, we’re so happy that I asked the art director to whip me up a little fan-art, based upon a suggested Twitter tag for [...]

The ZRC’s twitter feed exploded yesterday with news of a controversial protest of enormously unpopular and markedly Anti-Zombie Governor Scott Walker yesterday. There were a lot of quite frankly hysterical accusations that the protesters, dressed up as Zombies, had ‘shouted down’ the governor at an event for the Special Olympics. Of course, nothing could be [...]

Youtube is rapidly becoming a revolutionary platform for distributing independent movies; we recently reviewed (and loved) Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story here on the ZRC blog, and it’s up for free viewing on Youtube for a limited time, for example. That is a finely acted and directed, Zombie Friendly musical experience. Then, however, there are [...]
