Sorry I didn’t have time to update much today, it was *crazy* at the Kon. First of all, had some setup issues, then there was a huge traffic jam I got caught in running a forgotten bit of supplies there, etc. However, all in all it was a fantastic first day. (Our mostly set-up booth. [...]

This sounds like a wildly inappropriate contest. Needless to say, I entered only for the slim chance of taking this dangerous hardware off the streets: Little Bit Zombie To Give Away A Zombie Killing Truck In a great promotion from the folks behind A Little Bit Zombie, they are giving their readers a chance to [...]

We may have mentioned the existence of this upcoming documentary before on the blog, but for those who aren’t yet aware: a documentary entitled ‘MORE BRAINS! A Return to the Living Dead’ is coming out in the near future, documenting the production and behind-the-scenes work on infamously Anti-Zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’. A [...]

We received a comment here on the blog recently from an ‘animelover’ who seems to have trawled our archives back for months and discovered the post covering the ‘Zombie Walk Against Walker’, a prominent and highly successful bit of political activism by the Differently Animated here in Madison last spring. For the record, as we [...]

We’ve talked about ‘Project Zomboid’ before here on the ZRC blog, but now a review of the tech demo was brought to our attention and it highlights precisely the sort of Anti-Zombie gameplay we feared: The world as we know it has come to an end. Zombies roam the land as humans struggle to survive, [...]

Sadly, this one doesn’t sound hugely Zombie Friendly: EL PASO- If you happen to be going to Downtown El Paso tonight, don’t get scared if you see a bunch of zombies walking around. They’re not real. They’re taking part in a launch party organized by El Paso Comic Con, which is two weeks away. The [...]

Confession time: We don’t have cable here at the ZRC. I pathologically hate commercials, and between Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, Crunchyroll and many others, there’s very rarely any need to sit through one. DVDs come out faster and faster, almost on top of a television show, many are sold on iTunes as they air, and if [...]

The ZRC blog previously looked at ‘A Zombie’s Day Out’, a short film by Travis Betz, and that in turn led us to a previous film by Mr. Betz also relevant to our mission titled ’4 Years’. ’4 Years’ has an interesting premise, whereby a young woman about to be Zombified left her future Zombie [...]

I think it’s about time for another short film review, don’t you? ‘Zombie’s Day Out’ is a quirky and very inventive little film that you kind of have to see to understand. How else can I get across the idea of a movie whose story is told entirely from ankle-height? Here, it’s only a couple [...]

I’m beginning to think that we’re going to have to retire, or at least diversity, the ZRC blog’s ‘Don’t Use the Zed Word’ tag, which we apply when journalists or pundits lazily apply the label ‘Zombie’ to something they dislike. In this latest case, we’re talking about big box stores that have cut back on [...]
