A quick update to capitalize on one of the ZRC Compound’s renewable resources, adorable wild animal photographs: They seem to like congregating under that one tree; I guess it keeps the sun/rain out pretty effectively. Now for the daily dose of horror, look what happened when I tried to take a picture of that one [...]

Seriously? Seriously. So what happens when the zombie virus infects other species? We’ve seen zombie animals before but how about something else new and creative? Zombies infecting say, candycorn? A perfect Halloween treat! I’m not sure if this is a bizarre case of splashing Zombiism into everything or some demented but creative take on previous [...]

Ok, I know I say I’m outraged about a lot of stuff here on the blog, but this story really, really makes me mad: Are you ready for the Zombie Apocalypse? Get your set of zombie targets today. Targets are 18 X 24 inches and feature 3 different graphic patterns. The 3 different target patterns [...]

I like this comic a lot… but the text quoted afterward, even intended in jest as I think it was, is a bit disturbing: Oh No! Tuesday, March 30th, 2010 :: 1:15 am They then proceeded to eat his brain in an ugly, scary fashion. Is that a comment on the unfortunate violence that can [...]

We’ve talked a bit about the nexus of Zombies and religion here on the ZRC blog before; it’s hardly our forte, but the fairly obvious significance of the fact that Jesus (in the Christian religion) not just came back from the dead himself but raised one of the first Zombies described in Western literature is [...]

It was only a matter of time, and the only real surprise for me was that the game in question is branded for the comic book and not the TV series; although perhaps the plan is to issue two versions and rake in even more dough. At this price point that could get lucrative fast: [...]

The ZRC followed ‘Kore wa Zombie Desu ka’ with interest here on the blog, from the initial announcement through to its simulcast premiere and screening, and overall, we liked it quite a bit. Oddly enough I never went back and completed a review for the show, despite watching every episode, and I’m reminded of that [...]

Well, this one was short, incoherent and ridiculously Anti-Zombie: That’s something, isn’t it? Approximately three minutes of literal full-throated screaming into the microphone combined with claymation depicting heinous violence against the dim-witted claymation Zombie population. Not only that, but the short film is riddled, probably intentionally, with cliche after cliche; the cabin in the woods, [...]

Now, I know that we haven’t had the chance to see the Re-Animator musical yet, and I blame an uncaring universe for not supplying me with untold millions in cash for that one. Still, I have read the original story and seen the original film, so I think we’re on safe ground assuming that the [...]

Is it just me or is there a serious trend in marketing homes as being somehow ‘Apocalypse’ proof? I suppose part of it could be the recent ‘Rapture’ hullabaloo, but that can’t account for the whole phenomenon, to my mind. We’re just seeing too many cases of previously existing structures with various security features being [...]
