It’s a sad statement that much of the populace today lives in constant fear of a ‘Zombie Apocalypse’. You almost can’t blame them; the media feeds our society a constant diet of Anti-Zombie terror and prejudice, from ‘The Walking Dead’ to ‘World War Z’ to an entire gamut of videogames, novels, comics and more. Still, [...]

Although it’s often overlooked these days, Anti-Zombie prejudice in America was long associated with Zombies of a supernatural or religious origin rather than the Zombiism of a biological or chemical nature that so paralyzes the public consciousness lately. Zombies were supposedly a symptom of the dangerous Other, a spiritual or cultural affliction, one that presumably [...]

There was a bit of a drought of Zombie anime since last spring, and now all of a sudden it’s back in a big way. And, thank the Lovecraftian gods, none of it is more ‘High School of the Dead’! Anime News Network has their Spring Spotlight out, and lo and behold, this time around [...]

We really had a great haul in this regard from Horrorhound Columbus: [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign has officially returned from our hugely successful trip to Columbus, Ohio, agitating for Zombie Rights, and we have quite the story to tell you, Zombie Allies of the Internet: We arrived at the convention center for Horrorhound and found that we had been given a premium spot for outreach, right beside [...]

And boy are my arms tired! Well, no, it’s more my back after another 9 hours of driving, but hey. Got lots of photos to look through and upload tomorrow, emails to catch up on, Twittering and Facebooking (is that a verb?) as well. But for tonight? Sleep. Blessed sleep and dreams of a Zombie [...]

Posts and Tweets will be light Wednesday and Thursday as we’re off to Horrorhound for a weekend agitating for Undead Rights! Once there we will have lots of Twittering and pictures and outreach for you, and a full wrap-up on the blog after the convention as usual. We’re taking this Zombie Rights thing on the [...]

At The Zombie Rights Campaign we believe in creating as broad a coalition, and being as inclusive as possible in our quest for Zombie Rights and, even more expansively, toward Undead Equality. One of the questions we get asked most at conventions, on Twitter, via website comments or anywhere else is whether we stand for [...]
