We were graciously loaned an e-galley of this one by the publisher, so the ZRC had an opportunity to see how the fictional shadow government agency created by Mike Mignola, staffed prominently by a demon no less, handles Undead relations. In a word: poorly. First, the official description: Devastated over the loss of his luchador [...]

So the ZRC has been somewhat bitterly bemused at the production process for ‘World War Z’. It was mired in development hell forever, got going eventually due to Brad Pitt’s dogged evangelism, ran into even more production trouble and then was radically trimmed down and altered so that the novel narrative structure and non-traditional protagonist [...]

Boing Boing has some issues with Zombie Tolerance, and we’ve taken them to task before. But they also SELL things directly related to the Zombie Community, and we were pointed toward one of the odder ones, and potentially neater ones, recently: a Zombie Head Decanter, suitable for the holding of fine spirits. Seriously: Now, I [...]

It’s a brand new year, and that means it’s time to plot out our next moves in the campaign for full and true Undead Equality here in America. How to reach this lofty goal? Well, in a word: outreach. Lots and lots of outreach. And outreach often means traveling to where people are and educating [...]

The ZRC last talked about the film ‘A Little Bit Zombie’ regarding a flagrantly inappropriate contest to win a ‘Zombie Killing Truck’ featured in the movie. However, a full-length trailer was recently published that gives us a great deal more hope that the final film will be Zombie Friendly, or at least, Zombie Tolerant: A [...]

Action figures. If you’ve ever wondered why ‘classic’ Anti-Zombie films don’t get action figures, well, maybe it just took some time: “They’re Back from the Grave and Ready to Party” The first ever ROTLD Action Figure! Tarman Zombie features ball jointed neck, Shoulders, Opening Jaw and base with Trioxin cannister and bitten brain! Oh, if [...]

As discussed in our previous post on the subject, the ZRC had serious concerns about the new, otherwise highly enjoyable looking tabletop gaming project ‘Legend’ from Rule of Cool. So we sent them a link to our blog post on the subject and asked for a response. We didn’t have to wait long. Here it [...]

I was intrigued to learn of a new gaming system called ‘Legend’, reminiscent of ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ (and built upon the Open Game License) from good old Brian Clevinger: “…Legend is built to be understandable, to be learnable, and finally, to be something you can own and change and use without too much fear of [...]

The ZRC was pleasantly surprised by ‘Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?’, and ultimately regarded the first season as uneven but Zombie Friendly. News of a second season therefore made us happy as well. More details on the second season are becoming available now, along with a surprisingly tawdry little promo video: The Japanese publisher Kadokawa [...]

I’ve discussed this at length with other interested members of the larger Undead Equality Movement, and easy answers are hard to come by; what, exactly, is the relationship between the ‘Silent Hill’ games and the Zombie Community? Unlike ‘Resident Evil’, which clearly defames Zombies, ‘Silent Hill’ is a bit harder to pin down. Are your [...]
