When you choose to associate with unsavory and violent individuals and institutions it should come as little surprise if you are harmed as well, but still it’s rare to see such a crass and transparent abuse of trust between a business and its customer base as this franchise opportunity being marketed by a rabidly Anti-Zombie [...]

Here at The ZRC we’re big backers of public events celebrating the Undead and allowing them to gather in large numbers in safety (at least, assuming Tom Savini isn’t lurking nearby). However, we cannot lend our approval to the establishment of a ‘separate-but-equal’ treatment of the Differently Animated, where Zombies are welcome to spend their [...]

We commented previously on the trailer for ‘Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story’ here on the ZRC blog and were subsequently informed via the comments that the movie had gone up for free on Youtube for a limited time. Having watched the movie in its entirety now, I can safely say that The Zombie Rights Campaign [...]

Seriously? Seriously. So what happens when the zombie virus infects other species? We’ve seen zombie animals before but how about something else new and creative? Zombies infecting say, candycorn? A perfect Halloween treat! I’m not sure if this is a bizarre case of splashing Zombiism into everything or some demented but creative take on previous [...]

Ok, I know I say I’m outraged about a lot of stuff here on the blog, but this story really, really makes me mad: Are you ready for the Zombie Apocalypse? Get your set of zombie targets today. Targets are 18 X 24 inches and feature 3 different graphic patterns. The 3 different target patterns [...]

I like this comic a lot… but the text quoted afterward, even intended in jest as I think it was, is a bit disturbing: Oh No! Tuesday, March 30th, 2010 :: 1:15 am They then proceeded to eat his brain in an ugly, scary fashion. Is that a comment on the unfortunate violence that can [...]

We’ve talked a bit about the nexus of Zombies and religion here on the ZRC blog before; it’s hardly our forte, but the fairly obvious significance of the fact that Jesus (in the Christian religion) not just came back from the dead himself but raised one of the first Zombies described in Western literature is [...]

It was only a matter of time, and the only real surprise for me was that the game in question is branded for the comic book and not the TV series; although perhaps the plan is to issue two versions and rake in even more dough. At this price point that could get lucrative fast: [...]

The ZRC followed ‘Kore wa Zombie Desu ka’ with interest here on the blog, from the initial announcement through to its simulcast premiere and screening, and overall, we liked it quite a bit. Oddly enough I never went back and completed a review for the show, despite watching every episode, and I’m reminded of that [...]

Well, this one was short, incoherent and ridiculously Anti-Zombie: That’s something, isn’t it? Approximately three minutes of literal full-throated screaming into the microphone combined with claymation depicting heinous violence against the dim-witted claymation Zombie population. Not only that, but the short film is riddled, probably intentionally, with cliche after cliche; the cabin in the woods, [...]
