Here at The Zombie Rights Campaign we’re very concerned about official Anti-Zombie prejudice deriving from the negative stereotypes you see in popular culture. It’s certainly a problem when Robert Kirkman flaunts his hatred of the Differently Animated; it’s much more of a problem with official government agencies do it. Zombies have Civil Rights too. So [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign largely stayed out of commenting on the political arena this year, but we would like to, now that the campaign season has cooled down, issue a word of caution about a trend we are observing: Protesting as Zombies. In other words, dressing up as Zombies, not to protest on behalf of [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign has been aware of the work of artist George Pfau for a while now, but we have been remiss in bringing him to your attention, and it’s time to rectify that. Mr. Pfau is a Living Artist, who works in Zombie Art. This in and of itself is not so surprising. [...]

If you’ve been on the internet the last few years, no doubt you have seen the seemingly endless parade of ‘TED Talks’, or ‘lifehacks’, and such. Videos or articles outlining supposedly revolutionary ways to view the world or change our behaviors to improve our lives. Well, what if Zombies, in a ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ scenario, had [...]

Last Thursday night, the Rifftrax gang (who we have had previous disagreements with, see our Plan 9 From Outer Space review) hosted a screening of the classic, and unfortunately Anti-Zombie film, ‘Night of the Living Dead’. And of course, they made fun of it. (har-har. But it *could* be viewed as a Rifftrax fan mocking [...]

Zombies Allies: we hope the autumn season finds you well. The leaves are colorful, the air is crisp, and there’s a little holiday coming up, I forget the name. Hallo-something or other. I jest, of course; this is the most Zombie Time of the Year after all! Next weekend the Zombie Rights Campaign will be [...]

Yes, ‘The Walking Dead’ will be back on Sunday, showcasing the latest and ‘greatest’ in Anti-Zombie violence from the frankly disturbing mind of Robert Kirkman. This leads to a lot of breathlessly happy reporting on the season debut, and tragically stereotyped reporting on the Differently Animated. From Discovery News to CNN, it is a media [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign wasn’t hugely enamored with World War Z. It had many issues, both cinematic and Civil Rights in nature. But it’s hard not to view this Bob the Angry Flower comic as blaming the CG Zombies for the failures of the film. We cannot agree with that. BTAF has had some issues [...]

We like webcomic extraordinaire ‘Skin Horse’ around here at the ZRC, for its longstanding and remarkably tolerant depiction of the Undead. However, the newly-unfolding storyline apparently involves an Undead Equality movement, complete with an ‘Undead Rights’ blogger. So naturally, we, or rather, *I* love it even more. I can steal activism ideas! I mean. Bring [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign loved ‘The Dishonored Dead’, as longtime readers will recall. Would you like to read it for free? Well here’s your chance! Don’t say we never gave you anything. Well, don’t say we never gave you the chance to win anything, at least.
