The ZRC attended a New Year’s Eve party last week and surprisingly enough, even on our night off, The Cause found us and demanded attention, as the party-goers had Call of Duty: Black Ops playing on a tv downstairs. Eventually the siren song of Zombie Rights demanded that I try it out. The results were [...]

Apparently Microsoft doesn’t feel they’ve done their part to foment prejudice against the Differently Animated yet, so they’re putting Anti-Zombie titles on sale: If that doesn’t quite sate your gaming appetite, Live is also throwing a random “Back from the Dead” promotion by cutting the price of Zombie Apocalypse and The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai to [...]

Truly we’re reaching a point where absolutely anything is a target for the X + Zombies creative approach. Now it’s apparently Jurassic Park’s turn: I love AMC’s gritty TV-adaptation of The Walking Dead, and the only way it could be better would be if they added zombie dinosaurs. That isn’t going to happen, but, fortunately [...]

Mighty Car Mods out of Australia have put out a video detailing how to armor and equip a car to combat the Undead so that crazy Aussie survivalists can live out their paranoid delusions of the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ in style: The basic premise here is just patently insulting. Why would you need to make a [...]

After hearing the good news about the legal streaming of ‘Kore wa Zombie desu ka?’ being streamed to much of the world via Crunchyroll, it’s a bit of a let-down to hear about an ultra-trashy Zombie exploitation picture from Japan going international as well: Terracotta Distribution will soon be putting Takao Nakano’s Japanese cult horror [...]

I guess this announcement, which hopefully lays the groundwork for a DVD release here in the US, means I have to get the ZRC a Crunchyroll account: Crunchryoll has announced their first of three simulcast series today with Kore wa Zombie desu ka? which translates so very easy to “Are you a zombie?” which boggles [...]

A graphic up at GraphMeme illustrates the purported similarities between Zombies and Supermodels in such a way as to be defamatory to both: see more Funny Graphs See? They’re both ‘skeletal’, but the Zombie wants to eat your face and suffers from ‘everlasting death’, har-har. As opposed to what? Temporary death, Buffy the Vampire Slayer [...]

This story is so outrageous that it can be hard to believe it’s real, but it apparently is. A man by the name of Paul Waggoner sold his business and went to Haiti in the aftermath of its tragic earthquake last year to help with the relief efforts. After a subsequent aftershock, the hospital he [...]

This article from The Observer chronicles the quest by two French photojournalists to explore a real post-apocalyptic landscape in this era where we as a society constantly dramatize the fake apocalypses and blame them on Zombies. Of course, here the ruin of an entire city and way of life was not caused by the Differently [...]

Once again our frenemies over at Zombie Universe directed us via the Facebooks to this particular innovation in merchandise: Zombie temporary tattoos. Unfortunately, as the product description alludes, these tattoos indulge in the old ‘brain-eating’ stereotyping: You have love for the pale-skinned undead, so why not share it with the world? Temporary tattoo book takes [...]
