Another startlingly unsympathetic-to-Zombies interview with a major player in ‘The Walking Dead’ tv series is out now. A small and distasteful sample: Q: Have you created any signature zombies for Season 2 akin to Bicycle Girl? A: If I tell you about it, it gives the gag away! But I will say one of the [...]

We were linked to a new webseries at what has to be one of the worst possible times via the ZRC Twitter: during last weekend’s marathon computer meltdown. Thanks again by the way to Microsoft for that one. I’m STILL reinstalling software. At any rate, what to think of ‘Zombie Hunter’? Well, the way it [...]

In this sad story from The Rude Pundit, we see that Anti-Zombie prejudice is creeping into all aspects of our society and all manner of expression. (Picture courtesy of The Rude Pundit, who will come around to our Zombie appreciating stance someday I’m sure.) Increasingly, Americans see *everything* as relating to the ever-present, never-actualized ‘Zombie [...]

It’s heartwarming to see Zombie Walks raising money and awareness for good causes while promoting a healthy and inclusive vision of Living-Zombie relations, so we’re happy to bring news of the Marshalltown, Iowa Zombie Walk (please ignore the media outlet’s reflexive Anti-Zombie slant): It’s that time of year when frightful creatures slither along downtown streets. [...]

We first saw ‘George’s Intervention’ some years back at The Dark Carnival, and thought it was a funny and empathetic movie about Zombies and the occasional struggle for some of the Differently Animated with cravings for, even a need to consume, human flesh. Sadly, it hasn’t been available to the general public for easy viewing [...]

I’ll give them credit for original marketing at the very least: Free contest for horror fans! Enter to win an appearance in the zombie world of The Return Man — an action-packed undead thriller coming in March 2012 from publisher Hodder & Stoughton. One winner’s name will be immortalized as a character in the actual [...]

Another band that hates and fears the Differently Animated! Ugh why is the music community so prejudiced? Canadian hard punk rockers Kill Matilda are back with a vengeance, but this time it’s not just Matilda they’re after. Releasing their debut full-length, I Want Revenge, on October 11 and hitting the road on their Zombie Apocalypse [...]

We talked previously about this event, and the sadly segregationist nature of the outing (and the theme park hosting it) before, here on the ZRC blog: Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is opening its gates to the undead for ONE NIGHT ONLY! ** But make it a day – gates open at 10am for humans, [...]

Another good news/bad news situation for Zombie Rights activism as we are presented with another seemingly fun public event about Zombies that is unfortunately being organized by people who are not Zombie Friendly, to say the least: Winnipeg’s zombie community is preparing for its annual reminder that the undead are, in fact, not dead. … [...]

Hey, guess who was able to fix his computer after only about 16 hours of solid work and torturous waiting? That’d be me, John J Sears, President of The Zombie Rights Campaign, that’s who! Or is it whom? Eh. Grammar can wait for when I’ve had some decent sleep. I honestly have no clue why [...]
