‘Apocalypse Z’ Brings Zombie Apocalypse to Spain

| May 16, 2011

Or to be more precise, it brings the cinematic ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ there, as the novel on which it is based already did so: Vaca Films, the company behind the previously announced Welcome to Harmony, is now in development on Apocalypse Z, which is being adapted for the screen by Javier Gullon. David Alonso is set [...]

Zombie Haiku Collection a Hotbed of Prejudice, But Not All Bad

| May 16, 2011

Of late we’ve been in a bit of a spat with the ‘Zombie Research Society’. They think the Undead are a menace to fight with shotguns and grey ribbon; we think they’re our clients and deserving of advocacy and protection. Clearly we’re right, and someday we’ll bring them around. In the meantime, the ZRS chose [...]

EMI Claims Ownership of Wisconsin Capitol?

| May 16, 2011

Here at the ZRC, we take intellectual property seriously. Note that I don’t say ‘copyright’, I say intellectual property, and there’s a good reason for that distinction. Intellectual property is the precious commodity of creative thought and copyright is an antiquated and abusive system to try and guarantee payment for the use of said commodity. [...]

Stop Whatever You’re Doing and Watch the ‘Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story’ Trailer

| May 16, 2011

We got linked to this trailer for an upcoming Zombie Musical (yes, really!) on Twitter and it seriously blew our minds. What to think about ‘Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story’? Well, the best way I can describe it is Dr. Horrible meets Zombies. And it looks seriously Zombie Friendly! The story: After humanity quells an [...]

Repent, Sinners: Fifth Resident Evil Movie Confirmed, ‘Inspiration’ Apparently Involves Gaming Marathon

| May 16, 2011

Not to get all religious on you or anything, so close to the alleged apocalypse, but the fifth ‘Resident Evil’ movie has just been confirmed, proving once and for all the existence of evil incarnate in the world at large, and I think it’s time for us to prepare for our doom: First, she confirms [...]

Massive Preview Available of New Kung-Fu Graphic Novel (With Zombies)

| May 15, 2011

I debated making a post about this only after reading the preview, but, yeesh, it’s 250 pages, that might take a while, and in the meantime our readers can always research on their own (something the ZRC heartily encourages): In perhaps one of the largest free samples we’ve ever seen, illustrator Kagan McLeod has posted [...]

‘Zombex’ is About Drugs and Zombies, But Not About ‘Dead Rising’

| May 15, 2011

When you see that the title of an in-development Zombie movie is ‘Zombex’, your first thought might be, ‘Is this a Dead Rising thing?’ Take a second look, as I had to; the title of the Anti-Zombification drug from ‘Dead Rising 2′ is actually Zombrex, with an ‘r’, not Zombex. Oops. Did no one see [...]

Gun Enthusiasts vs. The Zombie Rights Campaign

| May 15, 2011

The art director likes to go through our sitemeter logs in the quest to find out who is linking to our proud organization from around the world wide web and see precisely where our much-valued readers are finding out about The Cause, and so she discovered that we were getting some hits to the site [...]

‘Help! I’m Alive…’ Series: May or May Not Be About Zombies, Is About Exploiting Them for Promotion

| May 14, 2011

Much of the time, especially with the properties we’ve taken to describing as ‘Just Add Zombies’ or with our blog tag ‘Zombie Flavored Creativity Substitute’, when you see something with Zombies, or their caricatures, the creator rushes to get some Anti-Undead imagery to the viewer/reader as fast as possible, to assure the bloodthirsty fans that, [...]

The Proper Response to Oppression is for the Undead to Stand Up

| May 13, 2011

The ZRC was very disturbed to see the recent anti-democratic behavior and preemptive police abuse directed at peaceful protesters merely DRESSED like the Differently Animated, so we are very glad to see that the Undead and Undead-allied of the United Kingdom aren’t about to take that travesty lying down (in graves or otherwise): UNDEAD UPRISING: [...]
