This post is to try and get a lot of the stuff that’s been buzzing around my head in the context of the Dickwolves discussion down onto the blog so I can get back to our core mission of Zombie Rights agitation. 1) On ‘Trigger Warnings’ Having never heard of the term before the discussion [...]

Insurgent survival horror franchise ‘Dead Space’ has a sequel out, and it’s determined to go down as one of the most gruesomely violent Anti-Zombie games of all time, with a new special black mark for promoting violence against the most innocent and vulnerable Undead population, that of Zombie children: Dead Space 2 is not just [...]

There are a lot of truly inspired, original creators in the indie film world, so it’s a shame to hear when one of them has gone to the dark side, say, by making a stoner comedy/Anti-Zombie film with truly graphic and gruesome violence against the Differently Animated: How do you make a $2 million feature [...]

The news that Glee will be performing after the Superbowl only makes me want to flee into a bunker deep underground, far from the range of any television signals, but this part of the story is interesting: You’ve already heard the Glee cast put their jazz hands all over Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” – but the [...]

Image Comics has decided that they really need more Anti-Zombie properties than their flagship ‘The Walking Dead’, and so are preparing an entire stable of Anti-Zombie properties centered around an alternate Vietnam war which changes dramatically with the appearance of the Differently Animated: Imagine yourself a young adult in the late 60s. War is raging [...]

(drifts in front of the garage and such) (I love these wind sculpted snow formations) (the bush looks like it has a face) (our industrious neighbors dug out this morning. the art director telecommuted and I was lazy, on the other hand) (snow banisters) (snow trees) (No way I’m digging a path back to the [...]
