No, this isn’t one of those obnoxious ‘vs’ competitions where Zombies are forced to fight some fictional villains for sport, but rather, a comparison of the treatment of two sets of ‘villains’ by the public. Zombies, as we’ve documented, get demagogued and fearmongered against by libraries, directing this miseducation even at vulnerable children and impressionable [...]

We brought you news here on the ZRC blog before about a Minnesota public library’s tragic decision to use its position in the community to spread Anti-Zombie prejudice to children. That was a ghastly story and quite shocking. Horrifyingly, it seems to be only one instance.. of a trend: There have been unconfirmed reports of [...]

Given the explosion of Anti-Zombie and outright Living Supremacist fiction over the last few years, it was probably inevitable that we would see publishing imprints dedicated explicitly to publishing more attacks on the Differently Animated. And so it has come to pass with ‘Print is Dead’: Print Is Dead is up and shambling, keeping us [...]

We’ve joked about how Capcom is determined to squeeze every last possible dollar out of their many Anti-Zombie games and franchises before here at the ZRC, but there’s more than a bit of seriousness behind the jest. The fact is, some Resident Evil games have seen a half-dozen releases to date – and the trend [...]

So I guess there’s considerable trouble in Anti-Zombie paradise, also known as the production of ‘The Walking Dead’: The Good: Greg Nicotero Will Give Us Webisodes! … The Bad: Frank Darabont Has Left The Walking Dead … The Neutral: Glen Mazzara To Be The Walking Dead Showrunner Basically there seems to be a huge shakeup [...]

You know, I’ve seen movies where the Undead intersect with the martial arts before, and they’re usually terrible, not just for Zombie Rights, but just, you know, as films. So when I see a blurb about a film called ‘Ninja Zombies’ I start to groan a bit before I even click on the link: “Ninja [...]

Read a really childish and defamatory essay in the New York Times by one Charles Duhigg called ‘Coming Soon: Invasion of the Walking Debt’ today that bears paying attention to for yet another example of the attempt to tie Zombies to something people dislike, this time a bad economy and arguments in Congress over the [...]
