There doesn’t seem to be a ton of information about new band ‘Love Automatic‘ on the intertubes yet, but they have a video out now that is making its way around the horror scene: The ultimate experience in clay stop-motion animated grueling terror. Ghosts, spooks, undead zombies, ghouls, sexy lady and not to mention a [...]

‘Silent Hill’ games don’t get quite as much press here on the ZRC blog, as their ‘antagonists’ often fall more in the ‘insane human’ or ‘demon’ categories rather than the Differently Animated, and also because, quite frankly, it’s hard to tell what’s going on half the blasted time. Still, they’ve had a noteworthy impact and [...]

The brain-eating myth about Zombies is very hard to combat, though we try here at The Zombie Rights Campaign. Simply put, the overwhelming majority of Zombies, whether in real life or in the biased media loosely based upon real life, are not fixated upon eating brain tissue. And as mentioned many times before on this [...]

We’ve talked about this before on the ZRC blog (a phrase I’m sure you’re tired of hearing by now), but the persistence of the Nazis + Zombies horror genre keeps it coming back year after year. It also helps to illustrate a double standard in our society. If Nazis summon the demon-spawn of Satan to [...]

I suppose it’s nice when people tell us flat-out that they’re Zombie-bashing Living Supremacists who have fallen for the outmoded stereotypes about the Differently Animated, but these hateful memes still hurt our clients: We all go through life a little clueless. Sometimes we don’t learn things about ourselves until they’re brought to our attention. For [...]

Martial-arts used against the Undead has some precedent in the indie film world, for example, ‘God of Vampires’ made the film circuit a few years ago (we caught it at The Dark Carnival), and it was certainly a labor of love, mixing action movie kung-fu with Chinese vampires, though it wasn’t at all friendly to [...]

We talk a lot about Capcom and their Living Supremacist videogames here on the ZRC blog. A LOT. Given that, what about when they make a game about Zombies that isn’t premised on their violent extermination? Can they make a Zombie Friendly game? Probably not: A dash of kitchen simulation, a smattering social elements and [...]

Capcom has a long and, ahem, proud history of selling slight variations or even full remakes of the same blasted Anti-Zombie games to their customers. For example, ‘Resident Evil’ was remade numerous times; as a director’s cut, as a complete remake for the Gamecube, itself later ported to the Wii, and ports with varying amounts [...]

Seriously; it’s just as the post title says. A female police officer, allegedly doing counter-terror work, plods flat-footedly around a ship shooting unarmed Differently Animated civilians in the back: Never once in this gameplay trailer do the Differently Animated show the least sign of hostility; it’s police brutality, plain and simple. Outrageous! What’s next, rounding [...]

‘Resident Evil’ has been around for a long time now, and for some reason the series continues to sell very well year after year, despite having characters with all the depth of a birdbath and all the appeal of a rancid ham sandwich. Upcoming offense against reason ‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ shows that the more things [...]
