The next auction items to arrive via the magic of the Postal Service were two autographed books from famous horror author David Wellington, who has applied his own unique takes to horror mainstays like vampires, werewolves and, yes, unfortunately Zombies in three separate hit series of novels. The ‘Monster’ line (Monster Island, Monster Nation and [...]

As we count down the days to the highly anticipated Lurch for the Cure Silent Auction, the ZRC will be highlighting the individual items as they come in, so as to thank those who generously gave to this worthy cause, and to show off how much cool swag that you can purchase at the Famous [...]

(As I finished unpacking stuff from our recent move here at ZRC headquarters I rediscovered a huge pile of Zombie and Zombie-related media, good and bad, that never got reviewed the first time around. So over the next few weeks, leading up to the auction, reviewing some of this stuff seems like a good way [...]

This is decidedly a mixed bag for me, but a web-company is selling Zombie.. Perfume: The scent of death lingers on the walking dead. Limbs rot, organs turn rancid, and decomposition sets in. For a zombie in a state of decay, they need Zombie Fragrance Oil. Liberally apply this scent, and combat that lingering odor [...]

This time a graph on what people will do in the supposed Zombie Apocalypse. Now, seriously. What is with the Zombie Apocalypse? Even with other hated-and-feared subgroups of humanity we rarely see talk of an Apocalypse. Well, ok. Perhaps the Black Helicopter crowd talks about some kind of crazy anti-White Apocalypse, I don’t know. Still, [...]

I’ve been looking at this for some time now, and I can’t begin to fathom it. I really can’t. Lego is putting out a series of special, collectible little Lego figurines. You know, the tiny people who can interact with the things you construct out of the beloved, often primary colored connectible play blocks. Included [...]

I’m very saddened but not surprised that, yet again, the so-called ‘Liberals’ of the online world have taken to defaming Zombies in the pursuit of scoring political points. Basically, as I understand their serial misuse of the term, it works like this: -Certain untruths or factual misunderstandings are particularly pervasive in the field of politics [...]

Well, ok. ‘Good’ is always a flexible term with the Baron. Nevertheless, look which gang of miscreants, who are very friendly with the Undead, has moved to the high-tech world of net celebrity? That’s right, the old gang from Atomic Age Cinema, including noted Bloomingtonian Undead Baron Mardi, will be hosting 100 Years of Monster [...]

Well, we here at the ZRC have been very pleased this week. The auction preparations are going great, donations are coming in left and right, and we seem to have entered into a productive dialogue with Ask Dr. Eldritch vis a vis Zombie Rights and negative stereotypes regarding Zombie odors. Don’t worry, Mr. Nichols. Your [...]

As Mel Brooks said, it’s all about the merchandizing. Ok, he said it more like ‘moichandizing’, but you get the idea. We here at the ZRC are thrilled with the results of our advocacy and the ongoing Lurch for the Cure campaign and have decided to stage a big event in the so-called real world, [...]
