Recently I started going through the FearNet gift buying guide, looking for more Zombie-related products to review or at least discuss here for the site, and came across one seemingly tailor made for today’s particular holiday: Vampire romance is so last century. Zombie romance – now that is a sub-sub-genre. This anthology collects 21 stories [...]

I know I’ve joked about just how many Plants vs. Zombies products are out there today, but this is seriously starting to get ridiculous: Well according to Kotaku Australia (who hasn’t changed to the HORRIBLE new look that Gawker sites run on) there is a Plants vs Zombies board game coming out soon! An officially [...]

Now, technically, that isn’t a happy Valentine’s Day from the *whole* campaign – the art director stalwartly boycotts this particular holiday. So consider these well-wishes to be on behalf of the Movement, I suppose. In service to The Cause. In the spirit of using love to further Zombie Rights, let me show you this lovely [...]

I heard about this campaign on Facebook, and at first, while I thought it was indeed an awesome idea to build a statue to RoboCop in Detroit, I didn’t know if it had anything to do with The Zombie Rights Campaign. And then it hit me: RoboCop died, and came back as a cyborg sworn [...]

This means we’re always on the look out for more Zombie related songs. Unfortunately, as often as not, we [...]

Anchor Bay has long been no friend to the Zombie Community, releasing a slew of Anti-Zombie films onto DVD, including ‘classics’ like ‘Day of the Dead’ and ‘Evil Dead’, and modern atrocities like The Walking Dead (which they’ll be putting out on disc soon). Therefore it wasn’t a huge shock to hear that they’d picked [...]

Apparently filmmaking reached Iowa at some point between the Manifest Destiny era and the present, because an independent Anti-Zombie film entitled ‘Collapse’ has been produced in the state that more than any other gets to pick our Presidential candidates: The theatrical trailer for “Collapse,” an independent zombie film made primarily in West Branch has been [...]

First of all, though the game is called “Pro Zombie Soccer: Apocalypse Edition”, it is obviously anything but Zombie Positive. I wish the publisher wouldn’t stoop to using such a misleading title, which will surely confuse consumers and possibly lead to the mistaken purchase of the title by a Zombie Enlightened individual looking for something [...]

By now you, our socially-conscious ZRC Blog readers, have no doubt heard the news: President Mubarak of Egypt has stepped down from power: In a brief announcement on Egyptian state television at 6:00 p.m. Cairo time, Vice President Omar Suleiman said that President Hosni Mubarak has relinquished power and asked the Egyptian Armed Forces Council [...]
