This story from BuyZombie got under my skin perhaps more than it should: Rhiannon Frater has to be happy these days. First off her novel The First Days is being reissued with a hot new cover and, probably slightly more exciting for her, one of her novels is going to be up on the big [...]

Recently, ZRC Facebook pal and conversationalist Deneen Melody linked to the official trailer for one of her upcoming projects, ‘As Night Falls’. She also warned us that the ZRC would probably not be pleased with the result, for it features violence against the Differently Animated. On the other hand she has also assured us that [...]

Here’s a batch of pictures from the trip to the big rally downtown today; as usual, you can see the whole set here. (This was posted right inside the doors, and a good sign of the level of support Walker could expect from the crowds) (The rotunda was absolutely *packed*) (The Dept. of Geography is [...]

More highlights and lots of photos from the big rally at the Capitol today in Madison. (The Socialists had t-shirts for the occasion. Even Socialists need branding.) (Sign reads: Governor Walker’s Gong Show. Time to go, Scotty.) (Well, do you?) (Eisenhower really was a different breed of Republican) (Another one of the many marches around [...]

Greetings to all Zombie Rights Supporters from downtown Madison; specifically, I’m checking in from the downtown public library, which has very acceptable wifi. Getting downtown for the protests was easy enough, but parking, that’s another matter. From what I’ve seen the garages are utterly packed, and there are thousands upon thousands of people walking in [...]

As a reminder, the ZRC will be a bit distracted today covering the Madison protests for you, our loyal readers. Updates will be sporadic but hopefully pretty interesting. This is why I normally leave signmaking to the Art Director, by the way. I can’t handle spacing, argh! Oh well, it’s the message that counts. Off [...]

Usually these t-shirt sites are helpful, or spiteful, enough to give us quite a bit of description/text for context, but for this shirt, depicting the logo of a Zombie diner in Evans City, PA (hint: the nearest town to the farmhouse in the ‘Night of the Living Dead’ films), we’re not given much to go [...]

We’ve mentioned the spinoff book from this touring comedy troupe/Anti-Zombie hate brigade before here on the ZRC, but British Anti-Zombie fanatics behind ‘How To Survive A Zombie Apocalypse’ are coming to the United States: The team behind the award winning, sell out, cult, comedy seminar ‘How To Survive A Zombie Apocalypse’ are about to take [...]

Recently here on the ZRC we’ve had a stirring discussion about the nature, and plausibility, of a ‘Zombie Apocalypse’. Yet, amongst virtually all of the media and games surrounding these apocalypse scenarios, very rarely is the plight of the Zombie, even the poor imitation of one Hollywood allows us to see, considered. We’ve seen that [...]

I know we’ve been dealing with some heady stuff lately here at the ZRC, and it might seem that our focus is broadening beyond the core ‘Zombie Rights’ message that we espoused in the past. To some extent, that’s true. However, as with our efforts to build bridges into the Independent Film Community, or our [...]
