This review marks one of the interesting conflicts I run into as the ZRC’s chief media watchdog. There are quite a few Anti-Zombie projects out there that, putting the Anti-Zombiism aside, are clearly works of talented people. ‘Night of the Living Dead’ and ‘Dawn of the Dead’ in particular show that George Romero really knows [...]

Uggh. Sometimes I get to have a spirited debate with a talented, witty and informed, if still hatefully bigoted, Anti-Zombie writer/creator. Other times I read a column about Zombies that is so rife with factual errors and stupefyingly bad logic that I want to break open the tequila. Again. That was the case today with [...]

Horror Society pointed us toward this charming little indie film, very much in the style of ‘The Addams Family’ with perhaps a bit of ‘Edward Scissorhands’ and a healthy dash of Dr. Seuss thrown in: Overall, considering the sardonic and cheerful tone (again, very Addams Family) I think we can overlook the slightly antisocial behavior [...]

Remember that 8in8 album I told you about with the Zombie Friendly video for one its songs? Well, another fantastic video has surfaced, this time for ‘Because the Origami’, a very sad song about parents missing their runaway child. If only Zombie kids could get this kind of sympathy on the internet: Because the Origami [...]

I just wanted to point out to our readers what might be the most epic spam comment of all time, which thankfully slipped by Akismet and brightened my morning. Enjoy. Here’s a sample btw: ABSTRACT SYNTHETIC Telepathy = TECHLEPATHY – NANOBOTS replacing Neurons = You tube) MOLECULAR TECHNOLOGY ARRAY Molecular Nano = Radio Frequency IDentification [...]

And the hate-fest against Zombiekind expands to yet another field: “The Safe House,” designed by KWK Promes, starts to get eerily close to something I could work with, if say 200 bludgeoned members of the undead army came over to eat their way into borrowing some sugar. “The most essential item for our clients was [...]

A loyal ZRC correspondent forwarded this to us on Twitter the other day and I was once again surprised by just how much Zombie-Unfriendly mischief people can get up to using Youtube: The Zombie Temp Worker is a comedy series created by PopCap and released on Youtube. It features an employee from PopCap dressed as [...]

You might think that the ZRC would be happy that this has apparently been declared ‘Zombie Awareness Month’. After all, Zombies do need more awareness – of their plight in society, their legal disenfranchisement, of the media’s endless campaign of misinformation against them and of the need for reform. Sadly, however, that is precisely the [...]

It’s that time of year again: the sun is brighter, the birds are even more annoying, the squirrels and other local wildlife are preparing their siege of my backyard… and most importantly, with the long and ridiculously brutal winter over, it’s time for the ZRC to do some public events! Here’s what our calendar looks [...]

Short but bitter and to the point: In an alternate world Romero didn’t just make films based around a vision he saw. He wasn’t that crazy filmmaker that made movies about people who came back to life, he was the premiere zombie killer! Unfortunately when he killed off most of the outbreak he had to [...]
